102 Red Book of Butterflies in Turkey 001010 001350 002660 Family: LYCAENIDAE Cupido staudingeri (Christoph, 1873) English: - Turkish: Staudinger’in Minikmavisi RED LIST ASSESSMENT JUSTIFICATION Cupido staudingeri is recorded from the highlands of Armenia, Turkey and Iran (Tuzov et al. 2000). Its main area of distribution falls within the borders of Iran. In Turkey, the only record is of three specimens from the Güzeldere Pass in Van (ten Hagen 2008). No other information is available to assess the status of this species in Turkey and therefore it is listed as Data Deficient. Family: LYCAENIDAE Aricia bassoni Larsen, 1974 English: Steely Argus Turkish: Çokgözlü Lübnan Mavisi RED LIST ASSESSMENT JUSTIFICATION Steely Argus (Aricia bassoni) has a very small global distribution of which the Turkish range in the Amanos is the northern limit. It has been recorded from just one locality in Turkey and thus has an extent of occurrence of less than 100 km 2 , but its area of occupancy is not known. Experts believe that Turkish and Lebanese populations are likely to be connected yet the butterfly has not been recorded from Turkey since 1976. The gaps in its distribution are thus not understood and nothing is known about the impact of human activities. The species is thus listed as Data Deficient. Family: NYMPHALIDAE Euphydryas iduna (Dalman, 1816) English: Lapland Fritillary Turkish: Kuzeyli Nazuğum RED LIST ASSESSMENT JUSTIFICATION Lapland Fritillary (Euphydryas iduna) is a polar or mountain tundra species, occurring in the Arctic regions of northern Europe and Siberia, southwards to high altitude regions in the Caucasus and Mongolia. There is just one record of this species from Turkey, a male caught in 1970 on Mt Ararat at 4,000 m. Experts consider this likely to represent a relict ‘out-post’ population due to the species’ restricted habitat and climatic preferences. Nothing further is known about this butterfly’s occurrence here. There seems no reason to suppose that the butterfly is no longer present but, if it does still occur it is predicted to be endangered in the long-term by climate change; Settele et al. (2008a) demonstrate that the current distribution of the European population can be very well explained by climatic variables. In order to assess the threat status of this butterfly, surveys are needed to discover whether it is still present on Mt Ararat, to understand the limits of its habitat and climatic niche and to obtain information on its population structure. Without this information the species is listed as Data Deficient. References ten Hagen, W. (2008) Taxonomie von Cupido staudingeri (Christoph, 1873) in Iran (Lepidoptera:Lycaenidae). Nachr. entomol.

002850 003060 Family: NYMPHALIDAE Groum-Grshimailo, 1895 RED LIST ASSESSMENT JUSTIFICATION Persian Ringlet (Erebia iranica) is a local and rare species occurring from the Caucasus to N Iran at 2,000-3,400 m (Nazari 2003, Tuzov et al. 1997). It has only been recorded once in Turkey, in August 1844, from the subalpine zone of Mt. Ararat (Hesselbarth et al. 1995). There seems no reason to suppose that this species is not still present but, with no further records, research is required to confirm its presence or absence. This species is thus listed as Data Deficient. 003050 Erebia iranica English: Persian Ringlet Turkish: Acem Güzelesmeri Family: NYMPHALIDAE Pseudochazara schakuhensis (Staudinger, 1881) English: Persian Tawny Rockbrown Turkish: İran Yalancı Cadısı RED LIST ASSESSMENT JUSTIFICATION Persian Tawny Rockbrown (Pseudochazara schakuhensis) is found only in SE Anatolia and N Iran. There is only one record from Turkey, from Mt Cilo, Hakkari, on 1 August 1982, and it is not known whether the Turkish subpopulation is separate from the main subpopulation in the Middle Elburz Mountains, Iran. Nothing is known about the species’ habitat preferences or ecology (Hesselbarth et al. 1995). Mt Cilo is listed as an Important Plant Area (IPA) (Özhatay et al. 2005) and Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) (Eken et al. 2006) but these publications mention no threats likely to affect this butterfly. Without more information on the species’ distribution in Turkey, its population structure and potential threats, this species is listed as Data Deficient. Family: NYMPHALIDAE Pseudochazara guriensis (Staudinger, [1878]) English: Georgian Tawny Rockbrown Turkish: Gürcistan Yalancı Cadısı RED LIST ASSESSMENT JUSTIFICATION Georgian Tawny Rockbrown (Pseudochazara guriensis) is a rare species occurring in the Greater and Lesser Caucasus (Tuzov et al. 1997). There is only one record of this species in Turkey, from Artvin in 1999 (Baytaş 2003, Baytaş 2007). Further research is required to clarify its current distribution and population structure in Turkey, to discover if there are established populations and to identify any potential threats. Until this information is available the species is listed as Data Deficient. Assessors Karaçetin, E. and Welch, H.J. (2011). Red Book of Butterflies in Turkey. Ankara, Turkey: Doğa Koruma Merkezi.
