Özet
Mesopsallus ambiguus (Fallén, 1807) Material examined Psallus (Phylidea) quercus TURKEY – Artvin Province • 1 ♂; Borçka, Murgul; 5 Sep. 1971; F. Önder leg.; LEMT. Lepidargyrus ancorifer TURKEY – DenIzlI ProvInce • 3 ♀♀; Tavas; 3 Jul. 1969; F. Önder leg.; LEMT. – İzmIr ProvInce • 1 ♂; Ödemiş, Bozdağ; 5 Jun. 1969; F. Önder leg.; LEMT. Comments This species was recorded from Artvin, Denizli, İzmir and Kütahya by Önder (1976). We examined the vouchers specimens collected from Artvin, Denizli and İzmir, but the specimens from Kütahya could not be located in LEMT. Our examination revealed that the specimens from İzmir and Denizli belonged to Lepidargyrus ancorifer (Fieber, 1858) and the specimen from Artvin belonged to Psallus (Phylidea) quercus (Kirschbaum, 1856). Therefore, we believe that the missing specimens also belong to another species and M. ambiguus should be excluded from the Heteroptera checklist of Turkey.
