Poecilochroa ilkerakkusi Coşar, Danişman & Marusik, 2024: 120 , figs 5C–F, 7A–E, 8A–D (holotype ♂: TURKEY: Kahramanmaraş Province: Andirin Dist.: Emirler Vill.: Kanliböget   GoogleMaps promenade [37°37’03.3’’N, 36°26’46.5’’E; 951 m a.s.l.], 29.VI.2020, leg. Danişman & I. Coşar, KUAM (no registration number specified)—not examined.

Female. Unknown.

Justification of transfer. Although we could not examine the holotype of P. ilkerakkusi , the illustrations of the palp of this species are diagnostic, and present all typical features of the male Trichothyse species: distomedially originating broad conductor with prolateral fold, apically originating claw-like embolus with broad embolic base, medially contiguous sperm duct with single loop, and robust RTA with apical bifurcation (cf. Coşar et al. 2024: figs 5C–F, 8A–D and Figs 1–8 View FIGURES 1–8 , 54–55 View FIGURES 54–57 , 109–112 View FIGURES 109–115 , 116–117 View FIGURES 116–119 ). Based on the similarity in genitalic structure and somatic morphology of this species to Trichothyse , we propose the transfer of P. ilkerakkusi .

Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Turkey in western Asia ( Fig. 121 View FIGURE 121 ).
