Abstract: The Halictidae collections of the Natural History Museum of Vienna (Austria), the Oberösterreichisches
Landesmuseum of Linz (Austria), and the Université de Mons-Hainaut (Belgium) were inspected in order to review
the Halictus Latreille (Halictidae: Hymenoptera) fauna of Turkey. Added to this were data from the literature as well as
data collected during our personal field studies in the central Anatolian and Mediterranean regions of Turkey between
the years 2000 and 2009. Distribution maps are presented of 34 species from Turkey. In addition, information on world
distributions and foraged flowers is given. This study reviews the status of the genus in Turkey and provides a base for
future taxonomic studies.

Introduction
Halictidae (Apiformes: Apoidea: Hymenoptera)
is one of the greatest families of all bees (Michener,
2000; Pesenko et al., 2000). As it is known that
bees play an important role in the pollination of
angiosperms, members of Halictidae also have great
influence in this service. Çalmaşur and Özbek (1999)
reported Halictus quadricinctus (Fabricius, 1776) to
be one of the most abundant pollinators of sunflowers
(Helianthus annuus L.). According to Goubara and
Takashi (2004), the only pollinator that leads to
successful F1 hybrid seed production in Lactuca
sativa L. is Lasioglossum villosulum trichopse (Strand,
1914). Al-Ghazwi et al. (2006) reported Halictidae as
the most abundant of the pollinator bee families in
the orchards of Jordan. Özbek (2008a) indicated that

the Halictidae species are some of the most abundant
bees found in fruit gardens. In addition, Özbek
(2008b) remarked that Rophites canus Eversmann,
1852 is one of the significant pollinators of Medicago
sativa L. (alfalfa). Other pollination studies (Nabhan,
1998; Shelly, 2000; Kremen, 2001; Klein et al.,
2003) have also indicated that Halictidae includes
important pollinators.
The family Halictidae includes 72 genera and
nearly 3500 species (Pesenko, 2007a) throughout
the world. Of these genera, Halictus Latreille, 1804
is among the largest, containing nearly 90 species
in the Palaearctic region; most of these species are
Mediterranean and central Asian in occurrence
(Pesenko, 2005a). Studies on the establishment of
Halictus fauna in Turkey are limited, however, and
information on the issue is surprisingly deficient.
Current data remain insufficient on both the
number of Halictus species found in Turkey and the
distributions of these species. The main studies on
the subject were conducted by Warncke (1975 and
1984) and Özbek (1979a).
Another problem regarding the systematics of
Halictus is the presence of different opinions on its
generic status. Michener (2000) reported that the first
attempt to unite all Halictinae members in one genus
of Halictus was made by Vachal in 1911. Ebmer (1969,
1988) and Warncke (1973, 1975, 1984) supported
this application and classified all the nonparasitic
Halictini members under the 2 genera of Lasioglossum
Curtis and Halictus. However, Michener (2000)
emphasized that such application of simplifications
or unifications on a group as large as Halictidae is
useless. In addition, Pesenko et al. (2000) and Pesenko
(2004, 2007b) found these approaches impractical
and claimed that these classifications were not able
to accurately reflect the phylogenetic relationships
(Pesenko, 2007b). Even today, members of Halictinae
or Halictini (with the exception of the kleptoparasitic
genus Sphecodes Latreille) are discussed either under
the name of Halictus or Lasioglossum and Halictus
(Polaszek, 2004; TÜBİTAK, 2005; Pauly and Pesenko,
2007; Ascher et al., 2009). It might be useful for a
database to unite such groups, but these approaches
hide the subgeneric relations that can be very useful
for taxonomy.
Because of these problems, data on the number
538
of species and their distribution in Turkey need to
be updated. With this goal in mind, this study aims
to review the status of the genus in Turkey. Here
we report a total number of 34 species belong to 8
subgenera found in Turkey. Regional distribution
of these species is presented in 7 maps. Global and
regional distributions are discussed and synonyms
and foraging flower information are also given.
Materials and methods
The synonyms, distribution, and foraging flower
information were reviewed according to the works of
Adolph (1934), Aerts (1960), Knerer (1968), Warncke
(1973, 1975, 1984), Ebmer (1975, 1988), Özbek
(1979a), Pesenko et al. (2000), Polaszek (2004),
Dikmen and Çağatay (2007), Pauly and Pesenko
(2007), and Ascher et al. (2009).
Some of the distribution data were taken from
label data of museum materials belonging to the
collections of the Natural History Museum of
Vienna, Austria (NHMW); the Oberösterreichisches
Landesmuseum/Biologiezentrum of Linz, Austria
(OLML); and the Université de Mons-Hainaut,
Laboratoire de Zoologie, Mons, Belgium (UMH).
Other data on distribution were generated from our
personal field studies between the years 2000 and
2009. Some materials used by Dikmen and Çağatay
(2007) were also included. As the field studies were
generally performed around the central Anatolia
and Mediterranean regions of Turkey, this part of
the data mainly reflects the fauna of these regions.
All captured materials were properly prepared for
collection and deposited in the Apoidea collection
of the Morphometry Laboratory of Hacettepe
University’s Department of Biology in Ankara,
Turkey. GPS coordinates were taken using the
Garmin Etrex H®. Specimens were examined with
stereoscopic microscopes for diagnosis. Identification
of the species was made according to the works of
Ebmer (1969), Pesenko (1978, 1984, 1985, 1986),
Pesenko et al. (2000), and Amiet et al. (2001) and by
comparing the specimens with the aforementioned
museum collections. Distribution maps were
prepared with CFF 2.0 (Carto Fauna-Flora; Barbier
& Rasmont, 2000) and modified with the software
Paint.NET v3.36 for better visualization. Since the
coordinate data for maps were absent on the labels of
the museum materials and in the literature, indicator
F. DİKMEN, A. M. AYTEKİN
points on the maps were arranged according to city
centers. Examples from Pesenko (1984, 2004, 2005a)
and Pesenko et al. (2000) were followed for the genera
and subgenera ranks and names. The species are
listed below in alphabetical order within subgenera.

Discussion
Faunistic studies on the genus Halictus of Turkey
are limited. First, Warncke (1975) reported 28 taxa
from this genus. Soon after, Özbek (1979a) cited
20 taxa from eastern Anatolia. Özbek (1979b) also
reported 3 Halictus species (H. quadricinctus, H.
simplex, and H. tetrazonianellus) that are related to
the pollination of Medicago sativa L. and Onobrychis
sativa L. in Erzurum Province. Following this,
Warncke (1984) published the latest checklist on this
issue and contributed 6 more species (1 of which, H.
xanthoprymnus, was new) to the list. In recent years,
Pesenko (2005a) noted some additional data on the
distribution of Palaearctic Halictus members and
reported 20 species from Turkey.
As for the Palaearctic distribution of Halictus,
there are approximately 90 species found in the
region (Pesenko, 2005a). Unfortunately, an updated
checklist of Halictus species of the western Palaearctic
that also includes information on Turkey does not
exist. One of the main databases of Europe, Fauna
Europaea (Polaszek, 2004), also fails to provide
sufficient data on the European distribution of the
genus. Pesenko (2005b) reported that members
of Halictus are mostly distributed throughout the
Mediterranean basin and in fore and middle Asia
and are represented in the eastern Palaearctic region
by only 10 species. Therefore, we can suppose that
there are nearly 80 species found in the western
Palaearctic region, a region whose borders (in the
broad sense) have been described well by Patiny et
al. (2009). Of the 80 anticipated species in the region,
34 belong to 8 subgenera that are found in Turkey.
According to the presence data of these 34 species,
the Halictus fauna of Turkey shares 23 species with
Middle East, 20 species with Europe, 8 species with
North Africa, and 23 species with Caucasia (Table).
Furthermore, 3 species (H. gordius, H. pentheri, and
H. xanthoprymnus) are probably endemic to Turkey.
In an evaluation of all of the presented data,
H. maculatus can be seen as the most frequently
encountered species, with 27 records. It is also one
of the most widely distributed species and can be
found throughout Turkey. Similarly, H. asperulus,
H. brunnescens, H. cochlearitarsis, H. compressus, H.
patellatus, H. pentheri, H. quadricinctus, H. resurgens,
H. sajoi, H. sexcinctus, H. simplex, H. tetrazonius,
and H. tetrazonianellus can be found in various parts
of Turkey and do not show specific distribution
patterns. On the other hand, the rest of the species
display very restricted distributions within Turkey
and are collected only occasionally. Of these, H.
beytueschebapensis, H. dschulfensis, H. falcinellus, H.
fatsensis, H. gordius, H. grossellus, H. submodernus,
and H. xanthoprymnus were distributed in
southeastern Turkey; H. adjikenticus, H. aegypticola,
and H. quadricinctoides in the eastern Mediterranean
part of Turkey; H. scabiosae and H. rubicundus in the
northern part of Turkey; and H. alfkenellus and H.
luganicus in the western part of Turkey. In addition,
H. graecus and H. georgicus were recorded only from
the province of Sivas.
The information taken from the distribution
data allows us to conclude that Halictus species
were recorded mostly in the Ankara and Hakkari
provinces, with 18 and 14 records, respectively.
However, there were many provinces from which
records were unavailable, including Aksaray, Amasya,
Aydın, Batman, Bilecik, Bingöl, Çorum, Diyarbakır,
Düzce, Elazığ, Karabük, Kırıkkale, Kırklareli,
Kırşehir, Kilis, Kocaeli, Manisa, Ordu, Osmaniye,
Rize, Sakarya, Tekirdağ, Uşak, Yalova, Yozgat, and
Zonguldak. Exposing the faunistic compositions of
these provinces is a crucial step in understanding and
clarifying the status and distribution of the members
of Halictus in Turkey.

Evaluation of the flower-visit records for
Halictus revealed that Centaurea sp., Carduus
sp., and Onopordum sp. were the most frequently
visited plants with 11, 9, and 9 records, respectively.
Members of subgenera Halictus s. str. Latreille,
Hexataenites Pesenko (except H. berlandi), and
Monilapis Cockerell generally forage on Asteraceae
members and especially on Centaurea sp., Carduus
sp., Onopordum sp., and Echinops sp. In addition,
H. luganicus seems to forage more commonly on
Onopordum sp. and Peganum harmala L. On the
other hand, H. simplex and H. rubicundus show a
wide range of plant taxa preference. Moreover, the
highest records belong to H. maculatus, which prefers
to forage on 43 different plant taxa.
The authors are hopeful that the information and
suggestions offered here will be helpful and provide
a base for further research that will revise our
knowledge of the whole genus. The species richness
(N: 34/90) represents about one-half of the whole
genus and reflects a high diversity in the region.
The reasons for this regional diversity are worth
considering in future studies. Improvements in the
understanding of bee biogeography and taxonomy
and the continued exploration of the bee fauna of
Turkey may be very helpful in this respect.
