ZOOSYSTEMATICA ROSSICA, 21(1): 28–59 25 JULY 2012 Review of Turkish crickets from the subfamily Gryllomorphinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) Обзор турецких сверчков подсемейства Gryllomorphinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) A.V.

Ünal, Abant İzzet Baysal Üniversitesi, Fen-Edebiyat Fakütesi, Biyoloji Bölümü, Bolu 14280, Turkey. E-mail: [email protected] The fauna of Gryllomorphinae of Turkey is reviewed. Sixteen species and subspecies are es- tablished. Ovaliptila anamur sp. nov., O. anitli sp. nov., O. alanya sp. nov., O. alanya proxima subsp. nov., O. alara sp. nov., O. teke sp. nov., O. ibrahimi sp. nov., Glandulosa borisi sp. nov. and Gryllomorpha dalmatina minutissima subsp. nov. are described. Ovaliptila beroni (Popov, 1975), Glandulosa kinzelbachi Harz, 1979, G. harzi Gorochov, 1996 and Gryllomorpha antalya Gorochov, 2009 are briefly characterized based on the type material. Ovaliptila buresi Mařan, 1958 is indicated as a rather widely distributed species in the western part of Anatolia (but not in the southern coast of this peninsula). Gryllomorpha dalmatina pieperi Harz, 1979, G. miramae Medvedev, 1933 and the nominotypical subspecies of G. miramae are recorded from Turkey for the first time, but both subspecies remain open to question. Дан обзор фауны Gryllomorphinae Турции. Установлено шестнадцать видов и подвидов. Описаны Ovaliptila anamur sp. nov., O. anitli sp. nov., O. alanya sp. nov., O. alanya proxima subsp. nov., O. alara sp. nov., O. teke sp. nov., O. ibrahimi sp. nov., Glandulosa borisi sp. nov. и Gryllomorpha dalmatina minutissima subsp. nov. Ovaliptila beroni (Popov, 1975), Glandu- losa kinzelbachi Harz, 1979, G. harzi Gorochov, 1996 и Gryllomorpha antalya Gorochov, 2009 кратко охарактеризованы на основании типового материала. Ovaliptila buresi Mařan, 1958 указывается как вид, довольно широко распространенный в западной части Анатолии (но не на южном побережье этого полуострова). Gryllomorpha dalmatina pieperi Harz, 1979, G. miramae Medvedev, 1933 и номинативный подвид G. miramae впервые отмечены для Турции, но оба подвида под вопросом.
