New localıty records for eumeces schneiderii (daudin, 1802) and trapelus ruderatus (olivier, 1804) wıth the morphologıcal data from eastern anatolıa, Turkey

Abstract

In this study, we report new locality records for Eumeces schneiderii and Trapelus ruderatus from Malatya, Eastern Anatolia. As the new locality is about 60 km north of the known distribution area for E. schneiderii from Malatya and T. ruderatus is the first record for this province. A summary of metric and meristic characteristics was with color-pattern features was given for these specimens. Moreover, the explored locality’s importance for the species biogeography via Anatolian diagonal was emphasized.
