=Ancyla anatolica Straka & Rozen, 2012
This taxon has been separated from Ancyla holtzi by Straka & Rozen (2012) for the first time.
J. Straka (com pers.) made this justification: " they are so different in morphology (especially males) and living together at the same area (holtzi nests in sandy places, but anatolica in dense soil) that we [Straka & Rozen 2012] decided write about it in the paper as different full species".
Straka & Rozen (2012) also described the larvae anatomy and the nest structure.
They also seen the species foraging on Eryngium sp.
