Summary: | The present knowledge on the
distribution of the members of stygophile
Synurella Wrześniowski, 1877 genus inhabiting Turkey is very limited. To
date, there are only three species, which are Synurella osellai Ruffo, 1974, Synurella
lepida Mateus and Mateus, 1990 and Synurella
ambulans (O.F. Müller, 1846), have been reported as the representatives of
the genus from Turkey. The present study aims to contribute to the knowledge on
the distribution of Synurella genus
in Turkey. For this purpose, the previous records of Synurella genus from Turkey have been compiled and the new records
of S. ambulans and S. osellai were given. Additionally, a
map on the distribution of the members of the Synurella genus in Turkey and a key are presented.
