Remarks.

The nominate species of the group has been reported in several studies (for review data see Sevgili et al. (2018) and Kaya (2018). Sevgili et al. (2018) presented detailed morphological and acoustic data about this species, supplied with rich illustrative material. However, all data in Sevgili et al. (2018) become controversial as opposed to the phylogenetic tree and taxonomy presented here, as these data are combined from several populations, many of which are currently excluded from P. zonatus , such as P. isozonatus , P. anisozonatus , P. parazonatus and P. datca (see below). Thus, the morphological and bioacoustics descriptions, and related illustrative material by Sevgili et al. (2018), should be considered with caution. In principle, the morphological description by Sevgili et al. (2018) is still applicable to P. zonatus , as these taxa differ from each other by minor differences. Thus, illustrations for the populations currently identified as P. zonatus (see following paragraph and Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ) should be considered as descriptive material of the species.

Distribution.

Possibly this is the most widespread species of the group. Its range covers associated altitudinal belts starting from the central part of the Anatolian Diagonal (or Maraş Triangle; see Çıplak et al. 1993) and extending to the Zagros Mountains (Van province of Turkey) in the east-west direction. Following the “ Previous records ” which review all previous published records and “ Material examined ” in Sevgili et al. (2018) and records in Kaya (2018), localities from the following provinces of Turkey were considered as P. zonatus ; Bitlis, Kahramanmaraş, Malatya, Muş and Van. Apart from these provinces some localities in Erzincan (Kemaliye) and Erzurum (Kop Mt.) also refer to P. zonatus (see Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ). The records by Sevgili et al. (2018) from Antalya, Konya, Niğde, and Muğla provinces of Turkey refer to other species (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ; see below). However, the material from Adana and Kayseri, the distributional border of P. zonatus and P. isozonatus , needs re-examination. The records of P. zonatus by Sevgili et al. (2018) and Kaya (2018) from the Munzur Mountains in Erzincan and Tunceli provinces of Turkey, the area situated between the two main branches of the Euphrates, the Murat and Karasu rivers (see Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ), probably belong to P. parazonatus sp. nov. described here but require confirmation.
