which species lives in the Caucasus (MARTYNOV, 1909). Later on MARTYNOV (1916) reported a single Halesus female but without male he was unable to determine the exact taxonomical position. In a next paper he was able to examine two male specimens which turned out to be real H. digita­ tus, although he has noted that the distal processes on the aedeagus were differently formed than in the European specimens (MARTYNOV, 1926). The next reported specimens were collected in Iran by SCHMID (1959) who has also emphasized the differences which seem exactly the same as described for my subspecies. More slender superior and intermediate appendages and completely different aedeagus and parameres. In a recent faunistic survey MALICKY and SIPAHILER (1984) report the species H. digitatus Schrank for Turkey. It is rather reasonable to consider this faunis­tic record from the south-eastern part of Turkey as an occurrence for my new subspecies. Holotype 6 f . Caucasus, Armenia, Aragats mts. 1960 m, 27.
