Dorcadion (Cribridorcadion) scabricolle yahyaliense, Danilevsky, 2017: 324 – “Nigde province: “38 km ö. Yahyali (120 km ö. Niğde)”.”
Type locality. Turkey, Kayseri province, 38 km eastwards Yahyali (120 km eastwards Niğde) [about 38°5΄24΄΄N, 35°45΄34΄΄E] 1900 m.
Diagnosis. Small subspecies described from rather distant localities on the base of rather different specimens, and probably includes several distinct geographical races; I preliminary include in the taxon a population from Tufanbeyli (north of Adana prov.). Several available specimens (as well as the specimens from the type series) have rather smooth pronotum with scattered dots or nearly without dots; according to the original description body length in males: 12.0-14.0 mm, width: 4.5-5.5 mm; body length in females: 12.0-16.0 mm, width: 5.0-6.0 mm; body length in available males: 11.8-14.1 mm, width: 5.0-5.3 mm; body length in available females: 13.5-14.0 mm, width: 5.8-6.0 mm.
Materials. 1 male, 1 female, Turkey, Niğde prov., Melandiz-Dag, 38º5΄27΄΄N, 34º26΄40΄΄E, 1750 m, 12.05.2017, I.Pljushtch leg. – MD; 2 males, 1 female with same label – IP; 4 males, 3 females, Turkey, Tufanbeyli, 19.4.1980, C.Blumenthal leg. – NMP.
Distribution. Türkei, Kayseri province: 8-10 km south-eastwards Yahyali, 1550 m; 24 km eastwards Yahyali 1500 m; 38 km eastwards Yahyali (120 km eastwards Niğde) [about 38°5΄24΄΄N, 35°45΄34΄΄E] 1900 m; 40 km eastwards Yahyali 1900 m; Niğde province: 20 km north-westwards Niğde, Güresentepe [about 38°6΄41΄΄N, 34°36΄55΄΄E], 2000 m; Melandiz-Dag, 38º5΄27΄΄N, 34º26΄40΄΄E, 1750 m; Adana province: Tufanbeyli [about 38°15΄N, 36°13΄E].
Note. The taxon is totally inside the range of variability of D. scabricolle and does not differ considerably from populations of the species known from Transcaucasia to the West Anatolia. More over it is very close to D. s. caramanicum described from nearby in about 120 km south-westwards from the type population of
