. Bonner zoologische Beiträge : Herausgeber: Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn. Biology; Zoology. Volker Assing: Eastern Mediterranean Medon Species 39. Map 2: Distribution oí Medon beydaghensis Fagel in Turkey, based on revised records. mately as wide as or wider than punctures; interstices with distinct, but relatively shallow microreticulation; surface more shiny than in M. maroriitus. Pronotum with much larger and sparser shallow punc- tures; posterior half of midline impunctate; interstices of variable width, but on average approximately as wide as punctures; microreticulation much more pronounced than in M maronitus; surface almost mat. Elytra relatively shorter than in M maronitus, at suture - times as long as pronotum; puncturation dis- tinctly coarser. Hind wings present. Posterior margin of abdominal tergite VII with narrow palisade fringe. S: posterior margin of stemite VII shallowly concave, not bisinuate, without palisade setae, only with few (3- 7) stouter setae in the middle (Fig. 10); posterior margin of stemite Vlll with relatively small incision (Fig. 11). Aedeagus small, ventral process slender, its shape com- pletely different from that of M maronitus both in lat- eral and in ventral view (Figs. 8 - 9). Comparative notes: From all its congeners occurring in the Eastern Mediterranean, M. beydaghensis is distin- guished especially by the male sexual characters. For separation from the similar M maronitus see diagnosis above. Distribution and bionomics: The species is known from several localities in Antalya and Isparta, south- western Anatolia (Map 2), where it was collected at rather low altitudes (60 - 900 m). Remarkably, M. bey- daghensis is apparently much less widespread than other species of the M. apicalis group and, in contrast to the distribution patterns of other species of the group, its distribution overlaps with that of M.
