A new locality record of Calchas anlasi Yağmur, Soleglad, Fet & Kovařík, 2013 from Hakkari Province, Turkey (Scorpiones, Iuridae, Calchinae)

Abstract

Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the distribution limits of the Calchas anlasi Yağmur, Soleglad, Fet & Kovařík, 2013. Method: The specimen was collected from under the stone and preserved in 96% alcohol. After being photographed with a digital camera, image stacking was performed using Helicon focus software. After the photographic procedures summarized by Yağmur, the specimen is kept in the Celal Bayar University Zoology Museum (AZMM). Findings: As a result of the examination of the specimen obtained from Derecik District of Hakkari, it was seen that it has a female and 6-6 pectinal teeth structure. Conclusion: In the present study, a sixth population of C. anlasi is recorded, extending its known distribution eastward by approximately 70 km.
