Berinda anlasi sp. nov. Figs 1–3 Type material. Holotype, ♂ (KUAM), TURKEY, Adıyaman Province, Gerger Dist., Budaklı Vill., (38°00'45"N 39°00'12"E), 563 m a.s.l., pitfall traps, 22.08.2017 – 31.07.2018, leg. E.A. Yağmur & S. Örgel. Paratypes. 2 ♂ (KUAM), same data as for the holotype. Etymology. The new species is dedicated to the entomologist Dr. Sinan Anlaş who made a great contribution to our knowledge of Turkish staphylinids and who is a friend of the authors. Diagnosis. The male of B. anlasi sp. nov. is most similar to that of B. cypria Chatzaki & Panayiotou, 2010 in having a bipartite retrolateral tibial apophysis. However, males of the two species may be distinguished by the length of the two tibial apophyses of the palp, which is about a quarter of the length of the cymbium (vs. one third in B. cypria), the broad cymbial retrolateral extension, and the straight pointed end of the conductor (Figs 2, 3) (vs. hook-shaped in B. cypria, Panayiotou et al. 2010: fig 15). Description. Male (holotype). Measurements: TL: 6.2, PL: 3.5, PW: 2.5, OL: 2.7, OW:1.7, Eye sizes and inter-distances: AME 0.12, ALE 0.16, PME 0.15, PLE 0.13, AME–AME 0.08, AME–ALE 0.01, AME–PME 0.13, PME– PME 0.03, PME–PLE 0.05, PLE–ALE 0.05. Length of leg segments: I: 7.5 (2.1, 1.0, 1.9, 1.5, 1.0); II: 7.5 (2.1, 1.2, 1.7, 1.4, 1.1); III: 6.8 (2.2, 0.9, 1.2, 1.4, 1.1); IV: 10 (2.4, 1.5, 2.1, 2.8, 1.2). Carapace light brown with distinct fovea (Fig. 1A), abdomen with triangular scutum, oval, covered with yellowish-grey pubescence. Legs uniformly light brown. Chelicerae, sternum, labium and maxillae light brown (Fig. 1). Chelicerae with lateral condyles. Cheliceral promargin with 4 and retromargin with 2 teeth. Eyes in two rows, anterior row slightly recurved, posterior row slightly procurved with oblique PME (Fig. 1A). Palp as in Figs 2 and 3: retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA) with two arms, one dorsolaterally directed and with posteriorly curved tip, and one retrolaterally directed, straight, anteriorly pointed, each arm almost one quarter of cymbium length; patella without apophysis; cymbium with broad retrolateral posterior extension (Ce); conductor with trapezoidal membranous anterior bladder (a), sickle-shaped guiding structure (b) surrounding the membranous anterior bladder, and straight pointed posterior end (c); embolus long, filiform, originates at ∼ 6:00 o’clock and makes almost a full circle of the tegulum. Female: Unknown. Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Adıyaman Province, southeastern Turkey (Fig. 17).
