Notes. We compared specimens from Rhodes and collectingCountryTurkey and found that the structure of male protarsi, male apical antennomere and aedeagus are identical in all populations of S. aeneipennis . The following characters can be variable even within one population: elytral shape, convexity of elytral interstriae and the degree of expression of elytral tubercles with coeloconic sensillae.

Distribution. The species is distributed in West collectingCountryTurkey ( collectingRegionDenizli , collectingRegionIsparta , collectingRegionMugla and collectingRegionAntalya provinces) and collectingCountryGreece (Rhodes Island). Maxwell Barclay and Keita Matsumoto also sent us photograph of one female with labels “ collectingCountrySyria de Brulerie”, “ aeneipennis ”, “Sharp Coll. 1905-313” (NHML). This specimen is very similar to S. aeneipennis but additional material from collectingCountrySyria is necessary to examine; the geographic label is possibly erroneous and we cannot yet confirm the record of this or other species in collectingCountrySyria .
