Terrestrial Bdelloid Rotifers From Erzurum (Eastern Part Of Turkey), Murat Kaya
Terrestrial Bdelloid Rotifers From Erzurum (Eastern Part Of Turkey), Murat Kaya
Turkish Journal of Zoology
There has been a growing interest in studies of the macroecology and biogeography of microorganisms (smaller than 2 mm) in recent years; however, knowledge of the diversity patterns of these organisms is inadequate. The reason for this lack of knowledge is that faunistic studies of these microorganisms have not been extensive enough to cover all areas of the world. Bdelloid rotifers of 200-600 µm in size are among these microorganisms. In many countries, few studies have been conducted on bdelloid fauna thus far. With only one detailed study, Turkey can be counted as one of those countries. In this present …
New Records And Distributional Data On Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) From Turkey, Gamze Pekbey, Rüstem Hayat
New Records And Distributional Data On Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) From Turkey, Gamze Pekbey, Rüstem Hayat
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Sixteen species belonging to subgenus Heteronychia Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889 of Sarcophaga Meigen, 1826 were recorded from the Bayburt, Erzincan, and Erzurum provinces of Turkey during 2008-2010. Five of these species, Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) armeniaca (Rohdendorf, 1937), S. (H.) bulgarica (Enderlein, 1936), S. (H.) clarahenae (Lehrer, 1999), S. (H.) monspellensia Böttcher, 1913, and S. (H.) recta (Rohdendorf, 1937) represent new records for the Turkish fauna. With these new records, the number of species belonging to subgenus Heteronychia known from Turkey has been increased from 19 to 24.
New Records Of Miltogramminae And Paramacronychiinae (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) From Turkey, Gamze Pekbey, Rüstem Hayat
New Records Of Miltogramminae And Paramacronychiinae (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) From Turkey, Gamze Pekbey, Rüstem Hayat
Turkish Journal of Zoology
This study was conducted in the Bayburt, Erzincan, and Erzurum provinces of Turkey during 2009 and 2010. A total of 10 species in 6 genera from the subfamilies Miltogramminae (4 species in 2 genera) and Paramacronychiinae (6 species in 4 genera) were determined. The genera Angiometopa Brauer and Bergenstamm, 1889 and Brachicoma Rondani, 1856 and the species Angiometopa falleni Pape, 1986, Brachicoma devia (Fallén, 1820), Macronychia polyodon (Meigen, 1824), and M. striginervis (Zetterstedt, 1838) are recorded for the first time from Turkey. Photographs or illustrations of the new records are provided.
New Distributional Data For The Genera Empis Linnaeus And Rhamphomyia Meigen (Diptera: Empididae) In The Marmara Region With New Records From Turkey, Mustafa Cemal Çi̇ftçi̇, Abdullah Hasbenli̇
New Distributional Data For The Genera Empis Linnaeus And Rhamphomyia Meigen (Diptera: Empididae) In The Marmara Region With New Records From Turkey, Mustafa Cemal Çi̇ftçi̇, Abdullah Hasbenli̇
Turkish Journal of Zoology
This study is based on Empis and Rhamphomyia (Diptera: Empididae) specimens collected from the Marmara Region between the years 2008 and 2010. Out of a total of 28 species that were found in this study, 14 species are new records for the Turkish fauna. Distributions of these species in Turkey have been mapped, and the Palaearctic distributions were given. Geographic distributions of all species are further discussed.
Two New Records Of The Coniopteryx (Neuroptera: Coniopterygidae) Species For The Turkish Fauna, Savaş Canbulat
Two New Records Of The Coniopteryx (Neuroptera: Coniopterygidae) Species For The Turkish Fauna, Savaş Canbulat
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Two species of the family Coniopterygidae, Coniopteryx (Xeroconiopteryx) loipetsederi H. Aspöck, 1963 and C. (Coniopteryx) borealis Tjeder, 1931, are here recorded for the first time in the Turkish fauna. Morphological and ecological notes as well as the distribution map with new recording sites are also provided. For C. loipetsederi, this is the most eastern record, and the eastern limits of the range of C. borealis have also been extended.

Antlions (Insecta: Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae) Of Albania, Dusan Devetak, Jan Podlesnik, Vesna Klokocovnik, Franc Janzekovic
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The Myrmeleontidae fauna of Albania was studied in July of 2012. The study revealed 14 antlion species, which included new records for the country. Among collected species, Myrmeleon hyalinus Olivier, 1811, Euroleon nostras (Geoffroy in Fourcroy, 1785), Macronemurus appendiculatus (Latreille, 1807), Macronemurus bilineatus Brauer, 1868, and Neuroleon arenarius (Navás, 1904) are new records for the Albanian fauna. Sand dune habitat in the national park Divjakë Karavasta represents the northernmost known locality of Myrmeleon hyalinus in the Balkan Peninsula.
