Scope: Munis Entomology & Zoology publishes a wide variety of
papers on all aspects of Entomology and Zoology from all over the
world, including studies mainly on systematics, taxonomy,
nomenclature, fauna, biogeography, biodiversity, ecology, morphology,
behavior, conservation, paleobiology and other aspects.
Submission of Manuscripts: Works published or under
consideration elsewhere (including on the Internet) will not be
accepted. At first submission, one double spaced hard copy (text and
tables) with figures (not original) must be sent to the Editors, Dr.
Hüseyin Özdikmen for publication in MEZ. All manuscripts should be
submitted as a Word file or PDF file in an e-mail attachment. If
electronic submission is not possible due to limitations of electronic
space at the sending or receiving end, unavailability of e-mail, etc., we
will accept “hard” versions, in triplicate, accompanied by an electronic
version stored on floppy disk or CD-ROM.
Review Process: When submitting manuscripts, all authors must
provide the name of at least three qualified experts (along with provide
their address, subject fields and e-mails). Then, the editors send to
experts for review. The review process should normally be completed
within 45-60 days. After reviewing papers rejected papers are
discarded. For accepted papers, authors are asked to modify their
papers according to suggestions of the reviewers and editors. Final
versions of manuscripts and figures are needed in a digital format.
Preparation of Manuscripts
All manuscripts must be typed in English, using Microsoft Word. Entire
manuscript must be double-spaced, with margins of at least 2-3 cm on

(Diptera: Tephritidae) in Turkey along with a new record to Turkish fauna. Munis
Entomology & Zoology 1 (2): 173-178]
ABSTRACT: This study is based on material collected in Turkey in of 1999 - 2005. Four
genera and five species of Trypetinae were found to occur in Turkey. Rhagoletis berberidis
Jermy is a new record for fauna for Turkey. Key to genera and species of this subfamily
occurring in Turkey are provided. The locality and host plants of specimens examined and
figures of aculei and wings of species are given. Distribution of the species in Turkey and
rest of world stated.
KEY WORDS: Tephritidae, New Record, Key, Systematics, Fauna, Turkey.
The subfamily Trypeinae is widespread in the world. Twenty nine
genera and forty three species have been listed from Europe (Merz, 1994).
Trypetinae differ from other Tephritidae by the following combination of
characters [only the major characters are listed; more complete lists of
characters can be found in Freidberg & Kugler (1989) and Merz (1994)]:
Postoculer setae acuminate, usually black or brown rarely paler. Frontal
stripe usually hairy; arista bare, hairy or plumose; proboscis almost
always capitate, with broad labella; scapular setae usually distinct;
dorsocentral setae usually situated at about level of anterior supra-alar
setae; scutellum flat or convex; wing pattern often with transverse or
oblique bands, rarely reticulate; abdomen without distinct pollinosity or
with distinct pattern of pollinosity; sixth tergum of female usually much
shorter than fifth.
Larvae infest fleshy plants that have fruits and some develop in flower
buds, stems or leaves (Freidberg & Kugler, 1989).
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The specimens were collected in Turkey in 1999 - 2005. Flies were
killed in a killing jar with potassium cyanide. The material is deposited in
the museum of İnönü University, Department of Biology, Malatya.
Species were identified using the keys by Freidberg & Kugler (1989)
and Merz (1994). Terminology follows White et al. (2000). Extensive
synonymy and bibliography is provided by Norrbom et al. (1999). Host
174
plants were determined by Prof. Şemsettin Civelek (University of Fırat,
Department of Biology, Elazığ, Turkey).
RESULTS
Four genera (Ceratitis Mac Leay Euleia Walker, Myopardalis Bigot
and Rhagoletis Loew) and their five species (Ceratitis capitata
Wiedemann, Euleia heraclei Linnaeus, Carpomya pardalina Bigot,
Rhagoletis berberidis Jermy and Rhagoletis cerasi Linnaeus) were
collected from Turkey between the years 1999 - 2005. Rhagoletis
berberidis is a new record for fauna of Turkey. Distribution of the species
in Turkey and rest of world was stated.

KEY WORDS: nomenclatural changes, homonymy, replacement names, Trilobites.
The purpose of the present paper is to bring the taxonomy of trilobites
into accordance with the requirements of the International Code of
Zoological Nomenclature (1999). It considers homonymous genus group
names of trilobites introduced from 1758 to 2005.
In an effort to reduce the number of homonyms in Trilobites, I
systematically checked all generic names published. I found fourteen
trilobites genera and one species whose names had been previously
published for other taxa, making them junior homonyms. In accordance
with Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, I
propose substitute names for these genus and species group names.

TAXONOMY
Order AGNOSTIDA
Family HEBEDISCIDAE
Genus LIMBADISCUS Korobov, 1980
Natalina Romanenko, in Repina & Romanenko, 1978. Trudy Inst. Geol. Geofiz. sib. Otd.
382: 128. (Trilobita: Agnostida: Eodiscina: Eodiscoidea: Hebediscidae). Preoccupied by
Natalina Pilsbry, in Tryon & Pilsbry, 1893. Man. Conch., (2) 8, 135. (Mollusca: Gastropoda:
Pulmonata: Stylommatophora: Acavoidea: Rhytididae).
Remarks: The name Natalina was initially introduced by Pilsbry, 1893 as
a replacement name for the preoccupied genus name Aerope Martens,
1860 of the gastropod family Rhytididae (with the type species Helix
cafra Férussac, 1821). Subsequently, Romanenko, 1978 described a
trilobite genus of the family Hebediscidae (with the type species Natalina
incita Romanenko, 1978 from Sanashtykgol Horizon, Gorny Altay, S.
Siberia, Russia) under the same generic name. Thus, the genus Natalina
Romanenko, 1978 is a junior homonym of the genus Natalina Pilsbry,
1893. I propose for the genus Natalina Romanenko, 1978 the junior
subjective synonym Limbadiscus Korobov, 1980 that is the type species
Limbadiscus dilatum Korobov, 1980 from Egyngolskaya Fm, NW
Mongolia (Jell, 1997).
Summary of nomenclatural changes:
Limbadiscus Korobov, 1980 = Natalina Romanenko, 1978 (non Pilsbry, 1893).
Limbadiscus incitus (Romanenko, 1978) comb. nov. = Natalina incita Romanenko, 1978
= Limbadiscus dilatum Korobov, 1980.
Order ASAPHIDA
Family APHELASPIDIDAE
Genus KAZAKHIUS nom. nov.
Elegantaspis Ivshin, 1962. Upper Cambrian trilobites of Kazakhstan; Part 2. Akad. Nauk
Kazakh. SSR, Inst. Geol. Nauk, Alma-Ata: 80. (Trilobita: Asaphida: Asaphina:
?Anomocaroidea: Aphelaspididae). Preoccupied by Elegantaspis Heintz, 1929. Skrift.
Svalbard Ishavet, Oslo, No. 22, 61. (Pisces: Placodermi: Phlyctaenioidei: Phlyctaeniina:
Phlyctaeniidae).
Remarks: Ivshin (1962) proposed the genus name Elegantaspis with the
type species Elegantaspis elegantula Ivshin, 1962 from Seletinsky
Horizon, Kazakhstan. Unfortunately, the generic name was already
preoccupied by Heintz (1929), who had described the genus Elegantaspis
in the fossil fish family Phlyctaeniidae. Thus, the genus Elegantaspis
Ivshin, 1962 is a junior homonym of the generic name Elegantaspis
Heintz, 1929. I propose a new replacement name Kazakhius nom. nov.
for Elegantaspis Ivshin, 1962. The name is dedicated to the country
Kazakhstan. The name is masculine in gender.
181
Kazakhius nom. nov. = Elegantaspis Ivshin, 1962 (non Heintz, 1929).
Kazakhius elegantulus (Ivshin, 1962) comb. nov. = Elegantaspis elegantula Ivshin, 1962.
Family DIKELOCEPHALIDAE
Genus NEOIRANELLA nom. nov.

Iranella Uvarov, 1922. J. Bombay nat. Hist. Soc., 28, 729. (Insecta: Orthoptera, Acrididae,

Remarks: Hupé (1953) proposed the genus name Iranella with the type
species Saratogia latefrons King, 1937 from Sayad Hassan, Iran.
Unfortunately, the generic name was already preoccupied by Uvarov
(1922), who had described the genus Iranella in the orthopteran family
Acrididae. Thus, the genus Iranella Hupé, 1953 is a junior homonym of
the generic name Iranella Uvarov, 1922. I propose a new replacement
name Neoiranella nom. nov. for Iranella Hupé, 1953. The name
dedicated to the current genus name.
I have reason in principle to rename the homonym Iranella, but
should also know that such a new name may be unnecessary because
Saratogia latefrons King, 1937 has already been referred to
Maladioidella abdita (Salter, 1866) by Rushton & Hughes (1996); this
was, of course, a subjective decision. “Rushton & Hughes (1996)
discussed Maladioidella and its synonyms Cedarellus and Iranella, and
redescribed the widespread species M. abdita (Salter, 1866)” (Rushton et
al., 2002). But Jell & Adrain (2003) given the trilobite genera
Kuruktagella T. Zhang, 1981 and Cedarellus Lazarenko, 1966 as junior
subjective synonyms of Maladioidella Endo, 1937 in the family
Idahoiidae on pages 355, 394 and 472. Also the genus Iranella is given by
Jell & Adrain (2003) as a junior subjective synonyms of Maladioidella
Endo, 1937 on page 388. But on page 469 the genus name Iranella
recorded as a available generic name without synonym in the family
Dikelocephalidae.
Neoiranella nom. nov. = Iranella Hupé, 1953 (non Uvarov, 1922).
Neoiranella latefrons (King, 1937) comb. nov. = Saratogia latefrons King, 1937.

Mareda Kobayashi, 1942. Jap. J. geol. Geogr., 18, 297. (Trilobita: Asaphida: Asaphina:
Dikelocephaloidea: Saukiidae). Preoccupied by Mareda Walker, 1855. List Specimens Lep.
Ins. Brit. Mus., 5, 1157. (Lepidoptera: Zygaenoidea: Limacodidae: subfamily unassigned).
Remarks: The generic name Mareda Walker, 1855 was proposed for a
genus of moths family Limacodidae (with the type species Mareda
182
ferruginea Walker, 1855 by monotypy). Subsequently, the generic name
Mareda Kobayashi, 1942 was introduced for a new trilobite genus (with
the type species Mareda mukazegata Kobayashi, 1942 from Fengshan
Fm, Shanxi, China) of the family Saukiidae. Thus, the genus Mareda
Kobayashi, 1942 is a junior homonym of the generic name Mareda
Walker, 1855. I propose for the genus Mareda Kobayashi, 1942 the new
replacement name Suluderella nom. nov. The name is given in honour
to Prof. Dr. Zekiye Suludere. The name is feminine in gender.
Suluderella nom. nov. = Mareda Kobayashi, 1942 (non Walker, 1855).
Suluderella mukazegata (Kobayashi, 1942) comb. nov. = Mareda mukazegata Kobayashi,
1942.
Order CORYNEXOCHIDA
Family DINESIDAE
Genus ALDANIANUS nom. nov.
Compsocephalus Repina, 1964 in Repina et al. [Lower Cambrian biostratigraphy of the
Sayan-Altay folded region]. (Akademiya Nauk SSSR, Sibirskoe Otdelenie, Institut Geologii i
Geofiziki, Izdatelstvo: Moscow). 308 p. (Trilobita: Corynexochida: Corynexochina:
Corynexochoidea: Dinesidae). Preoccupied by Compsocephalus White, 1845. Ann. Mag. nat.
Hist., 15, 39. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae).
Remarks: The genus Compsocephalus was erected by White, 1845 with
the type species Compsocephalus horsfieldianus White, 1845. Later, the
genus Compsocephalus was described by Repina, 1964 in Repina et al.,
1964 with the type species Compsocephalus mitis Repina, 1964 from
Aldanian, Sayan Altay Fold Belt, Russia. However, the name
Compsocephalus Repina, 1964 is invalid under the law of homonymy,
being a junior homonym of Compsocephalus White, 1845.
In Repina’s paper Compsocephalus appears on page 148 without a
species name being assigned. On page 307 Lepidocephaloides is
introduced with the type species L. mitis, and Lepidocephaloides mitis is
the name given in the explanation of plate 33, figures 12-14.
Compsocephalus is re-introduced without description on page 308, in a
continuation of the account of L. mitis. The fact that Repina made a handwritten change on a copy of her work is irrelevant to the present
nomenclatural problem. Also, Jell & Adrain (2003) mentioned that
Lepidocephaloides Repina, 1964 is typographical error for
Compsocephalus on p. 307 - hand corrected by author in copy held by A.
R. Palmer – borne out by assignment of type species on p. 308.
Under the circumtances, Lepidocephaloides was not made available by
Repina within the term of the ICZN. Namely, Lepidocephaloides is not a
synonym of Compsocephalus. So I propose to substitute the junior
homonym name Compsocephalus Repina, 1964 for the name Aldanianus
nom. nov.
183
Aldanianus nom.nov. = Compsocephalus Repina, 1964 (non White, 1845).

VetensAkad., 17 (4), no. 8, 19. (Collembola: Entomobryidae).
Remarks: The name Drepanura was initially introduced by Schoett, 1891
for a genus of the collembolan family Entomobryidae (with the type
species Drepanura californica Schoett, 1891). Subsequently, Bergeron,
1899 described a trilobite genus of the family Damesellidae (with the type
species Drepanura premesnili Bergeron, 1899 from Kushan Fm,
Shandong, China) under the same generic name. Thus, the genus
Drepanura Bergeron, 1899 is a junior homonym of the genus Drepanura
Schoett, 1891. I propose for the genus Drepanura Bergeron, 1899 the new
replacement name Neodrepanura nom. nov. The name is dedicated to
the current generic name.
Neodrepanura nom. nov. = Drepanura Bergeron, 1899 (non Schoett, 1891).

Remarks: Zhang (1983) proposed the genus Pionaspis with the type
species Pionaspis ichthyura Zhang, 1983 from Kushan Fm, Zhejiang,
China. Unfortunately, the generic name was already preoccupied by
Denison (1964), who had described the genus Pionaspis in
†Cynthaspidiformes. Thus, the genus Pionaspis Zhang, 1983 is a junior
homonym of the generic name Pionaspis Denison, 1964. I propose a new
replacement name Kiyakius nom. nov. for Pionaspis Zhang, 1983. The
name is given in honour of my colleague Prof. Dr. Suat Kıyak. The name
is masculine in gender.
Kiyakius nom. nov. = Pionaspis Zhang, 1983 (non Denison, 1964).

(Pisces: Actinopterygii: Tetraodontiformes: Triacanthodidae).
Remarks: The generic name Hollardia Poey, 1861 was proposed for a
genus of fish family Triacanthodidae (with the type species Hollardia
hollardi Poey, 1861). Subsequently, the generic name Hollardia Alberti,
1964 was introduced for a new trilobite genus (with the type species
Hollardia hollardi Alberti, 1964 from Ain Tagh Sh, An Targa, W
Morocco) of the family Tropidocoryphidae. Thus, the genus name
Hollardia Alberti, 1964 is a junior homonym of the generic name
Hollardia Poey, 1861 and also the species name Hollardia hollardi
Alberti, 1964 that is the type species of Hollardia Alberti, 1964 is invalid
under the law of homonymy, being a primary junior homonym of
Hollardia hollardi Poey, 1861 that is the type species of Hollardia Poey,
1861. Under the Zoological Code (ICZN) they must be rejected and
replaced. I propose to substitute the junior homonym genus group name
Hollardia Alberti, 1964 for the nomen novum Galbertianus and the
junior primary homonym species group name Hollardia hollardi Alberti,
1964 for the comb. nov. Galbertianus hollardi. The genus group name
Galbertianus is given in honour to G. K. B. Alberti who is the author of
the genus name. The name is masculine in gender.
Galbertianus nom. nov. = Hollardia Alberti, 1964 (non Poey, 1861).

Remarks: Rozova (1963) proposed the genus name Graciella with the
type species Graciella graciensis Rozova, 1963 from Yurakisky Horizon,
NW Siberia, Russia. Unfortunately, the generic name was already
preoccupied by Jordan (1894), who had described the genus Graciella in
the coleopteran family Cerambycidae (Neave, 1939). Thus, the genus
Graciella Rozova, 1963 is a junior homonym of the generic name
Graciella Jordan, 1894. I propose a new replacement name Neograciella
185

Remarks: Firstly, the genus Lampropeltis was established by Fitzinger,
1843 for snakes family Colubridae with the type species Coluber getulus
Linnaeus, 1766. Later, the genus Lampropeltis was proposed by Öpik,
1967 for trilobites family Plethopeltidae with the type species
Lampropeltis nitens Öpik, 1967 from Steamboat Sst, Queensland,
Australia. However, the name Lampropeltis Öpik, 1967 is invalid under
the law of homonymy, being a junior homonym of Lampropeltis
Fitzinger, 1843. I propose to substitute the junior homonym name
Lampropeltis Öpik, 1967 for the nomen novum Samgonus. The name is

Remarks: The generic name Deltocephalus Burmeister, 1838 was
proposed for a genus of homopterous family Cicadellidae (with the type
species Cicada pulicaris Fallèn, 1806 by subsequent designation, by
Kirschbaum, 1858). The genus Deltocephalus Burmeister, 1838 first
introduced as a subgenus of Jassus Fabricius, 1803, now Iassus
Fabricius, 1803. Subsequently, the generic name Deltocephalus Ogienko,
1969 was introduced for a new trilobite genus (with the type species
Deltocephalus orientalis Ogienko, 1969 from chersk Fm, S Siberia,
Russia) of the family Proasaphiscidae. Thus, the genus Deltocephalus
Ogienko, 1969 is a junior homonym of the generic name Deltocephalus

Burmeister, 1838. I propose for the genus Deltocephalus Ogienko, 1969
the new replacement name Atilayus nom. nov. The name is given in

with article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, I
propose to substitute the junior homonym name Regina Egorova, 1967

ABSTRACT: The biology of weevil species, Larinus onopordi (F.) living on globe thistle
Echinops sphaerocephalus L. was described for the first time. The species is univoltine,
adults overwinter under hiding object as aggregated. Eggs are inserted into the flowerhead;
L. onopordi deposited eggs superficially, 1-23 (3.76) eggs each capitulum may be occur in
one flowerhead, larvae develop in capitulum eating and destroying the seeds. In late
summer, larvae complete their growth; prepare pupal case 1-4 (0.84) case in each
flowerhead and pupation occurs in here. New generation adults emerge from flowerhead
after waiting several days. Thus, this weevil has one generation per year in northeatern
Turkey. A braconid wasp, Bracon facialis Thom. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) reared from
the pupal stage of L. onopordi.
KEY WORDS: Larinus onopordi, Echinops sphaerocephalus, biology, Curculionidae,
Lixinae, northeastern Turkey.
Echinops L. are perennial or biennial spiny herbs with erect ridged
stems. Leaves simple to three-pinnatisect, petiolate or sessile. Capitula
single-flowered, congested into globose heads subtended by small
reflexed bracts. The genus Echinops has sixteen species in all Turkey. Of
these, Echinops sphaerocephalus L. is distributed mainly in northeastern
Anatolia (Davis, 1975). This plant is on the weed list in Turkey in common
pastures, meadows, environs of airport, highways and railways (Uluğ et
al., 1993), maize, cotton fields, field margins and other crops (citrus, okra,
grape, soybean, wheat, tomato, sesame, groundnut and bean) in
Çukurova Region (Okşar & Uygur, 2000). Also, E. sphaerocephalus is on
the invasive weed list of North America (Hartman & Nelson, 2000) and it
is commonly found in Nebraska (McCarty et al., 1984).
Even though informed about the weed characteristics of E.
sphaerocephalus in current literature, this plant also has medicinal uses
(Kucherov, 1978). E. sphaerocephalus contains the non-poisonous
alkaloid, echinopsin, which gives sufficiently recovery in chronic
radiation sickness (Gubina & Omelyanenko, 1959). Polysaccharides
isolated from E. sphaerocephalus have been used in traditional Chinese
medicine as drugs with anti-inflammatory effect and anti-tumor
promoting action in the osseous system (Horvath et al., 1998).
Except for its useful peculiarities discussed above and though E.
sphaerocephalus may become a weed in some areas, it is used as a honey
192
plant: E. sphaerocephalus and E. ritro were planted in Michigan, USA
(Wrobleswka et al., 1993). Values of honey efficiency and attraction for
bees were found highest among those recommended for gardens as
investigated in ten plants in Poland (Jabonski, 1990). In addition,
Burzynski et al. (1981) indicated that several species of shrubs and
herbaceous plants have been introduced into young Polish Scots pine
stands as nectar plants, the most effective being Peucedanum
oreoselinum L., Daucus carota L., Echinops sphaerocephalus and
Asclepias syriaca L.
The genus Larinus Dejean comprising ca. 180 species is represented
by approximately 140 species in the Palaearctic (Csiki, 1934). Larinus is
species-richest in the Mediterranean where about 100 species occur (TerMinassian, 1967). Host plant range is confined to the tribe Cardueae of
the family Asteraceae (Zwölfer et al., 1971).
According to Ter-Minassian (1967), Larinus onopordi (F.) host plant
is E. sphaerocephalus. Though this weevil has a large distribution area
and is common, there is no biological record published in current
literature. In the present paper, seasonal occurrence and biology of L.
onopordi were described on the widely perceived plant E.
sphaerocephalus, for the first time.
MATERIAL & METHODS
The study was conducted in Northeastern Anatolia in 2003;
collections were also made in Eastern Anatolia and Mediterranean
Turkey in 2004 and 2005. Biological observations were made weekly
(sometimes with intervals of 10–15 days) in the research areas
throughout the season. Different biological stages of L. onopordi feeding
on the both Echinops species were observed mostly in natural habitats;
observations were made also in the laboratory and in the rearing cage in
the field. In the provinces of Northeastern Anatolia where the weevil is
common, it was collected from 20 flowerheads randomly at every visit
and dissected under microscope in the laboratory. Seasonal occurrence of
biological stages and duration of stages were described in the field.
RESULTS
This species main host plant is E. sphaerocephalus L. in Northeast
Anatolia, but rarely prefers E. orientalis Truatv. to complete their
generation in this plant. Overwintered adults associated with host plants
from mid May. After feeding several days on leaves (Fig. 1), they mated
(Fig. 2) and laid their eggs in flowerheads using rostrum by excavation of
the oviposition hole. In addition, the adults damage the stem below
flowerhead opening vertical holes. Adult activity period lasted
approximately 44 days (Fig. 9). Adult population rise to a peak level in
the last week of May and adult occurrence per flowerhead is 0.05-0.9
(0.59) (Table, 1-2). Mating activity duration lasted approximately the
193
adult activity period which is 37 days. After depositing eggs, females
closed on eggs a pale green secretion then this secretion dried, hardened
and turned black (Fig. 3). The eggs were laid superficially and it was easy
to see the eggs when opening this dry secretion (Fig. 4). There were 1-23
(3.76) eggs in one flowerhead and each flowerhead had 0.35-8.2 (3.76)
eggs, on average which oviposit on upper and lateral part of flowerhead
(Table 2). Eggs occurrence span was 33 days (Fig. 9). Hatching and
feeding in flowerhead larvae continue to grow (Fig. 5.) untill mid
September. Larval period duration was 79 days and each flowerhead had
0.2-1.55 (0.84). From the third week of July, pupae were seen in
flowerhead (Fig. 6). In one flowerhead, four larvae can grow, also mature
larva made up the pupal cell by using mouth secretion and plant remnant
where 4 pupal cells occur. If there are more than one larva or pupa in one
flowerhead, this flowerhead abnormally shaped. Pupa duration was 51
days and there were 0.2-0.7 (0.5) pupa on each flowerhead, on average.
Upon reaching the new generation adult stage, they waited in the
flowerhead 7-10 days (Fig. 7) and emerged from here for find a suitable
hibernating site such as under stones. This weevil showed aggregation
behavior which is possibly seen in 1-3 specimens together hiding under a
stone for hibernation. Thus, L. onopordi produced one generation per
year.
A braconid wasp, Bracon facialis Thom. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
reared from the pupal stage of L. onopordi.
DISCUSSION
As field investigation results show, L. onopordi main host plant is E.
sphaerocephalus (Fig. 8), however, it can complete their generation on E.
orientalis in NE Anatolia. In addition, this weevil species used two
different Echinops species and E. sphaerocephalus in SE Anatolia,
Central Anatolia and Mediterranean Turkey as a host plant. Conducted in
2004-2005 field expedition covered approximately half of Turkey
(eastern part) examining 106 different localities, L. onopordi host range
was confined to only the Echinops genus. According to current literature,
L. onopordi host plants were E. sphaerocephalus and E. ritro (TerMinassian, 1967; Campobasso et al., 1999). This weevil is distributed in
Algeria, Tunisia, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Egypt, Caucasus, Cyprus, Greece,
Turkey, Italy, southeastern Ukraine, Lower Volga region, Transcaucasus,
southern Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, southern Europe (Petri,
1907; Csiki, 1934; Ter-Minassian, 1967; Fremuth, 1982). In the eastern
part of Turkey, this weevil is distributed in Adana, Adıyaman Artvin,
Bingöl, Bitlis, Diyarbakır, Elazığ, Erzurum, Erzincan, Gaziantep, Hatay,
Iğdır, Kars, Kırıkkale, Kilis, Malatya, Nevşehir, Osmaniye, Sivas and
Şanlıurfa provinces.
Kasparyan & Gültekin, (2002) informed that an ichneumonid wasp,
Exeristes roborator F. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is parasitoid of
this species. By this present paper an additional parasitoid is recorded
194
which is including Braconidae.
Even if this plant is on the weed list of Turkey (Uluğ et. al., 1993;
Okşar & Uygur, 2000), E. sphaerocephalus is being used as both
medicinal plant (Gubina & Omelyanenko, 1959; Kucherov, 1978; Horvath
et al., 1998) and cultivated as a honey garden plant (Jabonski, 1990;
Wrobleswka et al., 1993). There is not sufficient data about the
economical importance of this plant to come to final conclusions
regarding this is invasive weed. In investigated region this plant occur
roadsides, field margins, abandoned fields and non-cultivated natural
habitats commonly. Here, it is not suitable to declare E. sphaerocephalus
as an invasive plant and L. onopordi a potential biological control agent.
It is possible to discuss, here, the main feeder of E. sphaerocephalus is L.
onopordi which is consuming seed of this plant. Accordingly its biological
peculiarities and the relative population level, this weevil can balance this
plant population level and prevent for jumping an invasive weed plant
group.

AN EVALUATION ON THE KNOWN TAXA OF
NECYDALINAE AND APATOPHYSEINAE
FROM TURKEY WITH A SYN. NOV.

[Özdikmen, H. & Turgut, S. 2006. An evaluation on the known taxa of Necydalinae and
Apatophyseinae from Turkey (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). Munis Entomology & Zoology 1
(2): 199-204]
ABSTRACT: As a summary of the present paper, the taxa of Turkish Necydalinae and
Apatophyseinae fauna that were recorded by various authors from different localities of
Turkey are evaluated zoogeographically. For this reason, the distribution patterns in Turkey
and rest of the world for each taxon of related subfamilies are determined. Also, chorotypes
for each taxon are given in the part of zoogeographical remarks. As a result of the present
paper, Necydalis hadullai Szallies, 1994 is a syn. nov. of Necydalis ulmi Chevrolat, 1838.
KEY WORDS: Necydalinae, Apatophyseinae, Cerambycidae, Coleoptera,
Fauna, Turkey.
Zoogeography,
The longhorn beetles or Cerambycidae are classified together with
Chrysomelidae and Bruchidae in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea. But,
some authors recognized Cerambycidae as a separate superfamily
Cerambycoidea (Svacha & Danilevsky, 1986). Cerambycidae sensu stricto
is divided into several subfamilies. These are Parandrinae, Prioninae,
Lepturinae, Necydalinae, Spondylidinae, Apatophyseinae, Cerambycinae
and Lamiinae. Parandrinae are not represented in Turkey. Moreover, as
seen below, the subfamilies Necydalinae and Apatophyseinae are
represented only a few species in Turkey. Also, the recorded data of both
subfamilies Necydalinae and Apatophyseinae from Turkey have not been
adequate since only a few works have been presented on Turkish fauna of
Necydalinae and Apatophyseinae until now.
Subfamily Necydalinae
Tribe Necydalini
Genus Necydalis Linnaeus, 1758
Necydalis hadullai Szallies, 1994
Current records from Turkey: The species is known only from type
locality in Turkey. Type loc.: Isparta province: Kovada, S. Eğridir.
Remarks: This name is available but invalid as being a junior subjective
synonym of Necydalis ulmi Chevrolat, 1838. The species is currently
placed in the genus Necydalis.
As seen below, Szallies (1994) stated that “Necydalis hadullai n. sp.
seems to be substitute for Necydalis ulmi in the South Turkey; the
differences seem to me significant enough to describe Necydalis hadullai
200
n. sp. as own species.” However, Necydalis ulmi is recorded for the first
time for Turkey in 2005. The real status of distribution patterns in Turkey
of N. ulmi need to be clarified. Szallies (1994) mentioned “the last sternite
only behind the middle most broadly, stretched. The anal plate (between
tergite and sternite) is notched. The points of the paramers are rounded”
as the most diagnostic characters. But the original description of
Necydalis hadullai is based on only one specimen. These characters are
very likely individual variations. Moreover, the other mentioned
differences between N. hadullai and N. ulmi by Szallies (1994) does not
seem distinguishable enough. Finally we think the original description of
N. hadullai does not seem significant enough to describe a new species.
The original description of N. hadullai was given by Szallies (1994) as
follows:
“Beschreibung: Flügeldecken kastanienbraun, hintere Seitenränder
geschwärzt. Fühler einfarbig kastanienbraun, die vier ersten Glieder
glänzender, die restlichen matt. Die Beine ebenfalls kastanienbraun,
Hinterschenkel und -tibien an den Spitzen schwarz, die Spitze der
Mittelschenkel auf jeder Seite mit schwarzem Fleck. Hintertarsen gelb.
Das 1. Sternit bis auf den Hinterrand, das 4. und 5. ganz schwarz,
ebenso das letzte Tergit, sonst ist der Hinterleib rotbraun.
Schildchen schwarz, gerunzelt und fast flach, hinten eine kleine
Längsvertiefung aufweisend. Zueinander gelegene Seitenränder der
Flügeldecken zum Apex hin deutlich verbreitert. - Halsschild mit zwei
glatten Beulen und einem Wulst vor dem Hinterrand. Um diese
Erhebungen herum lang goldgelb behaart (wie bei Necydalis ulmi
Chevrolat).
Letztes Sternit erst hinter der Mitte am breitesten, gestreckt. Die
Analplatte (schaut hinten zwischen Tergit und Sternit heraus) ist
eingekerbt (Abb. 2). Die Spitzen der Parameren sind abgerundet (Abb.
4).
Grösse 31 mm.
Anmerkung: Necydalis hadullai n. sp. steht der bekannten Art
Necydalis ulmi nahe, so dass die Beschreibung ihn in erster Linie von
diesem abgrenzt; ergänzende Zeichnungen der wesentlichen Merkmale
beider Arten sollen dabei helfen (Abb. 2 - 5). Necydalis hadullai n. sp.
scheint Necydalis ulmi in der Südtürkei zu ersetzen; die Unterschiede
scheinen mir bedeutend genug, Necydalis hadullai n. sp. als eigene Art
zu beschreiben.
Das Tier wurde von Quercus geklopft.”
Necydalis major major Linnaeus, 1758
Current records from Turkey: The species has been reported by
Acatay (1948, 1961, 1968) and Lodos (1998) from Turkey without exact
localities.
Range: Europe, Siberia (Winkler, 1924-1932); European Russia,
Ciscaucasia, the Black Sea coast of Caucasus, all Siberia, Sakhalin,
Europe, Japan (Danilevsky & Miroshnikov, 1985); temperate Palaearctics
201
from Europe to Far East (Svacha & Danilevsky, 1986); Europe (Bense,
1995); Europe, European Russia, European Kazakhstan (Althoff &
Danilevsky, 1997); Europe, Caucasus, Transcaucasia, Siberia, In Asia:
from Northern Kazakhstan, Altai Mts., Tuva, Amur basin and Primorie
region to China, Korean peninsula and Sakhalin (Sama, 2002); Europe,
Caucasus, Balkan peninsula, Crimea peninsula, Siberia, Far East of the
Russia, China and Korea (Danilevsky, 2005).
Remarks: The species Necydalis major Linnaeus, 1758 has two
subspecies in the world. These are the nominate Necydalis major major
Linnaeus, 1758 and the other Necydalis major aino Kusama, 1975. This
species is represented by nominative subspecies in Turkey. Unfortunately
any record with exact locality in Turkey has not been given according to
the literature. For this reason the real status in Turkey of this taxon need
to be clarified. A general distribution of this taxon is given above. The
other subspecies Necydalis major aino Kusama, 1975 occurs only in
Japan, Sakhalin and Kurile Islands and ? Mongolia according to Kusama
& Takakuwa (1984) and Danilevsky (2005). Also accordnig to Danilevsky
(2005) Necydalis major major Linnaeus, 1758 and Necydalis major aino
Kusama, 1975 are represented in Russia by subspecies.
Necydalis sabatinelli Sama, 1994
Current records from Turkey: There are four records from Turkey.
These are: Type loc.: Bolu province: Abant; Bolu province: Abant as
Necydalis sp. (Sama, 1982); Bolu province: Abant (Tauzin, 2000); Bolu
province: Yedigöller National Park (Malmusi & Saltini, 2005).
Range: Endemic to Turkey. Apparently distributed only in a local area of
North Turkey.
Necydalis ulmi Chevrolat, 1838
= Necydalis hadullai Szallies, 1994 syn. nov.
Current records from Turkey: There is only one record from
European Turkey as Kırklareli province: Demirköy (Malmusi & Saltini,
2005) and also there is only one record from South-West Anatolia as
Isparta province: Kovada, S. Eğridir (as Necydalis hadullai Szallies,
1994).
Range: Europe (Winkler, 1924-1932); Caucasus, Transcaucasus, Europe,
Southwest Ukraine (Danilevsky & Miroshnikov, 1985); Central and
Southern Europe, Caucasus, Transcaucasia (Svacha & Danilevsky, 1986);
Europe (Bense, 1995); (Althoff & Danilevsky, 1997); Europe, Caucasus,
Transcaucasia (Sama, 2002); Europe, Balkan Peninsula, Caucasus
(Danilevsky, 2005).
Remarks: The species has been known only from European Turkey
(=Thracia) of Turkey until this study. At present, it is also known in
South-West Anatolia due to the record of Isparta province of Necydalis
hadullai Szallies, 1994 syn. nov. The real status of distribution patterns in
Turkey of this taxon need to be clarified.
202
Subfamily Apatophyseinae
Tribe Apatophyseini
Genus Apatophysis Chevrolat, 1860
Apatophysis anatolica Heyrovsky, 1938
Current records from Turkey: There are three records from Turkey.
These are: Type loc.: Konya province: Akşehir; Aksaray province: Tuz
Lake, Eskil (Adlbauer, 1992); Konya province: Karapınar (Özdikmen &
Demir, 2006).
Range: Endemic to Turkey. Apparently distributed only in Central
Turkey.
Apatophysis caspica Semenov, 1901
Current records from Turkey: There are two records from Turkey.
Konya province: Tuz Lake and Akşehir (Demelt, 1967); Iğdır province:
Reynhanli and Kars province: S. E. slopes of Ararat (Villiers, 1967).
Range: Transcaspia (Winkler, 1924-1932); Turkmenia, the western coast
of the Caspian sea to the south from Derbenta, Caucasus, Armenia,
Northern Iran (Danilevsky & Miroshnikov, 1985); Jordan (Sama et al.,
2002); Caucasus, Iran, Central Asia, Near East (Danilevsky, 2005).
Remarks: Although two records are known from Turkey, both records
must be corrected. Primarily, the records in Villiers (1967) are from Iğdır
province which is near Armenian and Iranian borders too. Because S. E.
slopes of Ararat is in Iğdır province of Turkey in the present day, we think
that these records are unsuspicious according to known distributional
patterns in the world. Unfortunately the record in Demelt (1967) seems to
be suspicious because of the known distributional patterns of this species
in the world. So it probably belongs to the other species Apatophysis
anatolica Heyrovsky, 1938 known only from Central Anatolia such as
above. Moreover apparently even these two species may be synonyms.
Without study the type materials, the recent record from Jordan in Sama
et al. (2002) indicate possibility of this status. For this reason the real
systematical and taxonomical status of these species need to be clarified.
ZOOGEOGRAPHICAL REMARKS
The present zoogeographical characterization is based on the
chorotype classification of Anatolian fauna, recently proposed by Vigna
Taglianti et al. (1999).
Necydalis major major Linnaeus, 1758 has the Sibero-European
chorotype. Necydalis ulmi Chevrolat, 1838 has the European chorotype.
Apatophysis caspica Semenov, 1901 has the Turanian chorotype.
Necydalis sabatinelli Sama, 1994 and Apatophysis anatolica Heyrovsky,
1938 are Anatolian endemic species only known with a few specimens.

TWO NEW SUBSPECIES OF CARABUS
(LIMNOCARABUS) CLATHRATUS LINNÉ, 1761
(COLEOPTERA, CARABIDAE) FROM SIBERIA.

[Obydov, D. 2006. Two new subspecies of Carabus (Limnocarabus) clathratus Linné,
1761 (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Siberia. Munis Entomology & Zoology, 1 (2): 205-210]
ABSTRACT: Two new subspecies of Carabus (Limnocarabus) clathratus Linné, 1761:
Carabus (Limnocarabus) clathratus jacutensis ssp. n. and Carabus (Limnocarabus)
clathratus narymicus ssp. n. are described from Siberia. The distinguishing characters are
discussed.
KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Carabidae, Carabus (Limnocarabus) clathratus, new
subspecies, Siberia.
Carabus (Limnocarabus) clathratus has been described without
indication of locality. The species is widely distributed in Eurasia: from
southern France and northern British Islands to Central Yakutia (Russia)
to the east and to Azerbajan and northern Iran to the south. Closely
related species Carabus (Limnocarabus) maacki Morawitz, 1862 is
distributed in Russia, from south-eastern Transbaikalie to South Ussuri
Land.
The wide area of Carabus clathratus is inhabited by many unequally
differing populations. Some of the groups of populations, undoubtedly,
must be considered as subspecies. Carabus clathratus clathratus is
distributed in northern, central and eastern Europe. Widely distributed
subspecies Carabus clathratus auraniensis Müller, 1902 inhabit Balkans
and Turkey; Carabus clathratus stygius Ganglbauer, 1890 – Azerbajan
and northern Iran; Carabus clathratus antonelli Luigioni, 1921 – central
Italy; Carabus clathratus arelatensis Lapouge, 1903 – southern France;
Carabus clathratus jansoni Kraatz, 1890 inhabit Scotland.
Thus, the majority of populations constitutes a continuous sequence of
forms slightly different in size, coloration and ratios, but it is hardly
possible to consider these forms as a subspecies. Now a considerable
number of subspecies of Carabus clathratus are described. The majority
of subspecific names must be regarded as synonyms.
Earlier it was considered that nominotypical subspecies of Carabus
clathratus is distributed in Russia from western borders up to central
Yakutia, though widely distributed species often is represented by the
extremely detached subspecies at the edge of the area.
The description of two new subspecies of Carabus clathratus from
Siberia is given below.
Carabus clathratus is the typical of the wetlands, on the banks of
canals, under moss or cut canes, in fallen tree trunks as well as in the
206
water habitat. Indeed, it can stay for long periods under water and is a
good swimmer and underwater hunter.
DESCRIPTION
Carabus (Limnocarabus) clathratus jacutensis ssp. n. (Fig. 1).
Holotype: male with label: “Yakutsk, 27.VI.1994” (the collector is not
known).
Papatypes: 2 males, female, same data and same locality; 4 males, 3
females: “Yakutia, Yakutsk env., Berdigestyakh, 1-5.VII.1994” (the
collector is not known).
The holotype is preserved in the collection of the State Museum of
Biology (Moscow, Russia). The paratypes are preserved in the collection
of the State Museum of Biology (Moscow, Russia) and in the collection of
Mr E. Tarasov (Moscow, Russia).
Body length in males is 23.5 - 24.0 mm (including mandibles), width
8.3 - 8.8 mm; body length in females is 23.8 - 24.2 mm, width 8.3 - 9.0
mm.
Head not thickened, ratio width of pronotum/width of head 2.21; eyes
strongly convex; mandibles short, broad, evenly curved; surface of
mandibles smooth; terebral tooth of the right and left mandibles bidentate, strongly prominent; retinaculum of the right mandible strongly
prominent, retinaculum of the left mandible less prominent. Frontal
furrows short and shallow, inside smooth. Frons, vertex and neck with
dense fine punctures, laterally frons with few coarse wrinkles. Labrum
wider than clypeus, moderately notched, without lateral setae. Antenna
protruding beyond the base of pronotum by three-four apical segments;
palpi slightly dilated; penultimate segment of the maxillary palpi equal to
the last segment; penultimate segment of the labial palpi with two setae.
Mentum tooth narrow, triangular, equal or slightly longer than lateral
lobes; submentum with two setae.
Prothorax very broad, broadest at about middle; ratio width/length
1.47. Pronotum convex with sparse fine punctuation and sparse fine
wrinkles. Median longitudinal line distinct; basal foveae very deep and
large, inside finely-punctured. Sides of pronotum broadly margined;
lateral margin slightly bent upwards; lobes of hind angles short, evenly
rounded, slightly bent downwards. Lateral margin with two lateral setae.
Elytra oval, relatively convex, widest at about middle; ratio
length/width 1.60; ratio width of elytra/width of pronotum 1.33;
shoulders prominent; sides of elytra broadly margined, elytral margin
coarsely-granular. Elytral sculpture heterodynamous; secondary elytral
interspaces strongly convex, more convex than in Carabus clathratus
207
clathratus; striae coarsely-punctured; primary elytral foveoles large, wellmarked. Wings are reduced or partially reduced.
Ventral body surface smooth, metepisternum finely-punctured,
slightly longer than its width; sides of abdomen slightly wrinkled; sternal
sulci absent.
Shape of aedeagus and endophallic structure are characteristic for the
species.
Legs of normal length; male fore tarsi with four dilated segments
bearing hairy pads.
Coloration very bright, green with metallic lustre; often margins of
pronotum and elytrae bronze or reddish bronze; primary elytral foveoles
bronze, reddish bronze or goldish bronze; mandibles, antenna, palpi, legs
and ventral body surface black.
Differential diagnosis. The new subspecies differs from nominotypical
subspecies by more dense punctuation of frons, vertex and neck; more
convex pronotum and elytra, more convex secondary elytral interspaces.
Coloration of the new subspecies brighter, green with metallic lustre and
bronze or reddish bronze elytral margins (in nominotypical subspecies
coloration dim, black with green lustre, pronotum and elytra without
colour margins). Body of the new subspecies shorter (23.5 - 24.2 mm, in
C. clathratus clathratus body length is 27.0 - 34.0 mm).
Distribution. Russia, East Siberia, Central Yakutia.
Habitat. The beetles are connected to the coasts of the reservoirs of
various types and usually do not occur far from water.
Carabus (Limnocarabus) clathratus narymicus ssp. n. (Fig. 2).
Holotype: male with label: “West Siberia, Narym Distr., Piakurur River
Vall., 6.VII.1990, T. Buchatzkaya leg.”

Antenna protruding beyond the base of pronotum by three-four apical
segments; palpi moderately dilated; penultimate segment of the maxillary
palpi equal to the last segment; penultimate segment of the labial palpi
with two setae. Mentum tooth narrow, triangular, slightly shorter than
lateral lobes; submentum with two setae.
Prothorax broad, broadest at about middle; ratio width/length 1.50.
Pronotum weakly convex with sparse fine punctuation and sparse fine
wrinkles, laterally with more rough sculpture. Median longitudinal line
distinct; basal foveae deep, inside coarsely-punctured. Sides of pronotum
relatively broadly margined; lobes of hind angles short, evenly rounded,
slightly bent downwards. Lateral margin with two lateral setae.
Elytra oval, relatively convex, widest at about middle; ratio
length/width 1.50; ratio width of elytra/width of pronotum 1.37;
shoulders prominent; sides of elytra relatively broadly margined, elytral
margin coarsely-granular. Elytral sculpture heterodynamous; primary
elytral interspaces strongly convex (nearly like secondary) represented by
rows of short links and tubercles; striae coarsely-punctured; primary
elytral foveoles shallow, indistinct. Wings are reduced.

Differential diagnosis. The new subspecies differs from nominotypical
subspecies by less dense punctuation of frons, less convex pronotum and
elytra, strongly convex primary elytral interspaces, which are represented
by rows of short links and tubercles and shallow and indistinct primary
elytral foveoles. Coloration of pronotum and elytra of the new subspecies
one-colored black; primary elytral foveoles black, sometimes with weak
reddish lustre (in nominotypical subspecies coloration brighter with
green lustre, primary elytral foveoles bronze, reddish-bronze or gold,
well-marked). Body of the new subspecies shorter (23.0 - 27.2 mm, in C.
clathratus clathratus body length is 27.0 - 34.0 mm).
Remark. The new subspecies resembles Carabus (Limnocarabus)
maacki Morawitz, 1862 by the character of the elytral sculpture.
Distribution. Russia, West Siberia, the Ob River basin, Narym District.

NEOMRAZEKIELLA NOM. NOV., A REPLACEMENT NAME
FOR THE GENERIC NAME MRAZEKIELLA BREHM, 1949
(CRUSTACEA: COPEPODA: CANTHOCAMPTIDAE)

[Özdikmen, H. & Pesce, G. L. 2006. Neomrazekiella nom. nov., a replacement name for
the generic name Mrazekiella Brehm, 1949 (Crustacea: Copepoda: Canthocamptidae).
Munis Entomology & Zoology, 1 (2): 211-214]
ABSTRACT: A junior homonym was detected amongst the Crustacea (Copepoda,
Canthocamptidae). The following replacement name is proposed: Neomrazekiella for
Mrazekiella Brehm, 1949.
KEY WORDS: Mrazekiella, Neomrazekiella, Crustacea, Copepoda, Canthocamptidae,
homonymy, replacement name.
Whilst recently researching the “Nomenclator Zoologicus” (Neave
1939-1950) a homonymous copepod generic name was noticed. The
opportunity is here taken to provide a replacement name for it in
accordance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
(2000): Neomrazekiella nom.nov. for Mrazekiella Brehm, 1949.
Crustacea Copepoda Canthocamptidae
Neomrazekiella (nom. nov.)
Remarks. The genus-group name Brehmiella was described by
Chappuis, 1929 as a subgenus belonging to the genus Attheyella Brady,
1880 in Copepoda (Crustacea). However, the genus name Brehmiella was
proposed by Pascher, 1928 in Chrysomonadida (Protozoa). Therefore,
Brehmiella Chappuis, 1929 was a junior homonym of Brehmiella
Pascher, 1928. The junior homonym was duly changed by Brehm, 1949,
who proposed the genus-group name Mrazekiella nomen novum pro
Brehmiella Chappuis, 1929 in Arch. Hydrobiol., Stuttgart, 42: 515 in the
family Canthocamptidae (Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoidea).
However, prior to Brehm's action, the genus Mrazekiella Kijenskii,
1926 had been described in the family Radiophryidae (Protozoa,
Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea, Astomatida). The name Mrazekiella
Brehm, 1949, proposed for a subgenus of the genus Attheyella Brady,
1880 (Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoidea, Canthocamptidae), is
preoccupied by Mrazekiella Kijenskii, 1926 (Protozoa, Ciliophora,
Oligohymenophorea, Astomatida, Radiophryidae). It cannot be used as a
valid genus name in Crustacea by homonymy.
212
Consequently, the name Neomrazekiella nom. nov. is here proposed
as a replacement name. As a result of this, Mrazekiella Brehm, 1949 is a
syn. nov. of Neomrazekiella nom. nov.
Mrazekiella Kijenskii, 1926 (Protozoa) is recorded in Nomenclator
Zoologicus vol. 3 and Mrazekiella Brehm, 1949 (Crustacea) is recorded in
Nomenclator Zoologicus vol. 6 by Neave and Edwards & Hopwood.
Ethimology: from preexisting generic name Mrazekiella.

[Demir, E. 2006. Contributions to the knowledge of Turkish Auchenorrhyncha with twelve
new records (Homoptera: Cicadellidae). Munis Entomology & Zoology 1 (2): 215-236]
ABSTRACT: In this study, 5225 samples of Cicadellidae specimen collected from Antalya
region in south-west Turkey during field studies in the years 1999 and 2001-2003 are
examined. 111 species are found to be distributed in this region. Distribution of these species
in Turkey and their host plants are given along with their locality records. 79 of these
examined species are new records for Antalya and Macropsis albae Wagner, 1950, Iassus
pseudocerris Abdul-Nour, 1998, Anoscopus assimilis (Signoret, 1879), Ribautiana cruciata
(Ribaut, 1931), Eupteryx insulana (Ribaut, 1948), Euscelis alsioides Remane, 1967,
Fieberiella chioscola Meyer-Arndt, 1988, Paralimnellus cingulatus (Dlabola, 1960),
Paralimnus phragmitis (Boheman, 1847), Laminacutus libanensis Abdul-Nour, 2001,
Platymetopius enatus Dlabola, 1974 and Psammotettix nodosus (Ribaut, 1925) are new
records for Turkey’s fauna.
Key words: Homoptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Cicadellidae, fauna, new record, Turkey.
Turkey’s first faunistic records of Cicadellidae family are given by
Fahringer (1922), Haupt (1930), Kerville (1939), Zachvatkin (1937, 1946),
Dlabola (1957, 1963, 1971a, 1971b, 1974, 1979, 1981, 1985), Linnavuori
(1965), Dworakowska (1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1976, 1982) Kalkandelen
(1972, 1974, 1980, 1985) and Kartal (1981, 1983). Lodos and Kalkandelen
(1981-1988) compiled the faunistic records of their studies up to 1988 and
stated that 423 Cicadellidae species were distributed in Turkey, in the
checklist they prepared. Later, the studies of Abdul-Nour (1988), MeyerArndt (1988), Kartal (1988), Kartal and Zeybekoğlu (1991, 1992,
1994a, 1994b, 1997), Zeybekoğlu (1996, 1998), Zeybekoğlu and Bulut
(2000), Kartal, Zeybekoğlu and Dursun (2001), Başpınar and Uygun
(1991a, 1991b, 1991c, 1992a, 1992b), Güçlü and Özbek (1994, 1995),
Demir (2004a, 2004b, 2005a, 2005b) added 38 records of species
belonging to Cicadellidae. According to the literature, 461 species of
Cicadellidae were known to be distributed in Turkey.
The province of Antalya, which is selected as the study area, is located
on the Mediterrenean coastline in southwest Turkey, between 29 15 32 36 eastern longtitudes and 36 06 - 37 27 nothern lattitudes. The
elevation ranges between 0 and 3070 m. This province is important
because of its biological diversity with four national parks and three
nature protection areas; namely, Olympos Beydağları Coastal National
Park, Termessos Güllük Mountain National Park, Köprülü Kanyon
National Park, Altınbeşik National Park, Çığlıkara Nature Protection
Area, Dibek Nature Protection Area and Alacadağ Nature Protection Area.
216
28 Cicadellidae species were found to be distributed in the study area, as
a result of compilation of the records in the studies of the authors
mentioned above.
Climate of the Study Area: The region is under the influence of
Mediterrenean climate that is an outer tropical climate, in which
photoperiodism is daily and seasonal, precipitation occurs mostly in cold
or relatively colder seasons, summer is the dry period and summer
drought coincides with maximum summer temperature. All the stations
except Gazipaşa (796.3 mm), which is the easternmost station, receive
precipitation over 1000mm, according to Akman (1995). On the coastline,
60-65% of precipitation is received in winter and 0.5-2% in summer.
Vegetation of the Study Area: There are communities dominated by
Pinus brutia forest, garrigue and maquis along the coastline at
approximately up to 1000 m above sea level, although they are damaged
by humans in many places. Pinus brutia can sometimes be seen above
1000 meters and on the coast it is mixed with Pinus pinea. Ceratonia
siliqua, Pistacia lentiscus, Euphorbia dendroides, Myrthus communis,
Clematis cirrhosa, Rubia tinctoria, Teucrium creticum and Capparis
spinosa are examples of common characteristic species of the coastline.
Examples of common characteristic species of the zone just above the
coastline are Quercus coccifera, Pistacia terebinthus ssp. palaestina,
Crataegus aronia ssp. aronia, Fontanesia philliraeoides, Rhamnus
oleoides ssp. graecus, Arbutus andrachne, Melica eligulata, Eryngium
falcatum and Rubia tenuifolia. On the eastern half of the region at
elevations 1500m and higher, there are forests comprising of Cedrus
libani, Abies cilicica, Pinus nigra ssp. pallasiana, Quercus infectoria ssp.
boissieri, Quercus libani, Juniperus excelsa, and Junuperus drupacea.
The western parts of the region is covered with Cedrus libani forests at
elevations 1500m and higher. Although cedars here show floristic
structure, blackpine
forests
are
extremely
poor.
Lonicera
nummulariifolia ssp. glandulifera, Digitalis cariensis and Acer
hyrcanum ssp. sphaerocaryum are examples of characteristic species in
this part, Akman (1995).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Field studies in 143 different localities were executed in the months
March-October in the years 1997-1999 and 2001-2003. In this study,
5225 adult Cicadellidae samples were collected and analyzed. Samples
were collected by sweeping the plants with a wooden shaft net and the
host plants of samples collected from only one species of plant are
determined. Homopterans, found in the net after sweeping were
vacuumed with an aspirator. The samples in the aspirator were then
killed in ethyl acetate in a jar and put in standard envelopes and prepared
according to the standard methods to produce museum material. The
studied samples are preserved in the collection of the author.

Townes, 1946 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) non Chaudoir, 1865. Munis Entomology &
Zoology, 1 (2): 237-238]
ABSTRACT: A junior homonym was detected amongst the Hymenoptera and the following
replacement name is proposed: Oezdemirus for Rhabdotus Townes, 1946 (Ichneumonidae:
Ichneumoninae). Accordingly, seven new combinations are herein proposed for all seven
valid species currently included in Rhabdotus Townes, 1946 (Ichneumonidae).
KEY WORDS: Oezdemirus, Rhabdotus, homonymy, Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae,
replacement name
TAXONOMY
Oezdemirus nom. nov., substitute name
Rhabdotus Townes, 1946. Bol. Ent. venezol., 5, 55. (Insecta: Hymenoptera:
Ichneumonoidea: Ichneumonidae: Ichneumoninae: Ichneumonini). Preoccupied by
Rhabdotus Chaudoir, 1865. Bull. Soc. imp. Nat. Moscou, 38 (2), 94. (Insecta: Coleoptera:
Carabidae).
The genus Rhabdotus was erected by Chaudoir (1865) with the type
species Rhabdotus reflexus Chaudoir, 1865 in Coleoptera (Carabidae). It
is still used as a valid generic name in Coleoptera. Also the Neotropical
genus Rhabdotus was described by Townes (1946) with the type species
Ichneumon intentus Cresson, 1873 in Hymenoptera (Ichneumonoidea:
Ichneumonidae: Ichneumoninae: Ichneumonini) from Mexico. It is still a
valid generic name in Hymenoptera. However, the name Rhabdotus
Townes, 1946 is invalid under the law of homonymy, being a junior
homonym of Rhabdotus Chaudoir, 1865. Under the Zoological Code
(ICZN, 1999) it must be rejected and replaced. In accordance with article
60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, fourth edition
(1999), we propose to substitute the junior homonym Rhabdotus Townes,
1946 with the nomen novum Oezdemirus. As a result of this, Rhabdotus
Townes, 1946 is replaced with Oezdemirus nom. nov. The following
new combination is Oezdemirus intentus (Cresson, 1873), comb. nov.
along with six other new combinations for all seven valid species
currently included in Rhabdotus Townes, 1946 (Hymenoptera:
Ichneumonidae).

Family Ichneumonidae
Subfamily Ichneumoninae
Genus Oezdemirus new replacement name
For Rhabdotus Townes, 1946, junior homonym of Rhabdotus
Chaudoir, 1865.
Type species: Ichneumon intentus Cresson, 1873, from Mexico.
Gender: Masculine
Etymology: Oezdemirus dedicated to the last names of our colleagues Dr.

Species account and distribution: seven species; known from Mexico and
Guatemala in the Neotropical Region (Yu and Horstmann (1997).
Mandatory new combinations:
Oezdemirus alternans (Brullé, 1846) new comb. from Rhabdotus.
Oezdemirus famelicus (Cresson, 1868) new comb. from Rhabdotus.
Oezdemirus gracilentissimus (Dalla Torre, 1902) new comb. from Rhabdotus. This
name was given as new name for Ichneumon gracilentus Cresson, 1868 preoccupied by
Ichneumon gracilentus Wesmael, 1845.
Oezdemirus intentus (Cresson, 1873) new comb. from Rhabdotus.
Oezdemirus salvini (Cameron, 1885) new comb. from Rhabdotus.
Oezdemirus teres (Cresson, 1868) new comb. from Rhabdotus.
Oezdemirus trunculentus (Cameron, 1885) new comb. from Rhabdotus.

Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Munis Entomology & Zoology 1 (2): 239-252]
ABSTRACT: In this study, odonatan specimens collected from the provinces Mersin, Adana,
Hatay, Kahramanmaraş and Osmaniye in East Mediterranean region of Turkey, JulySeptember in 2002 and April-August in 2003 have been established faunistically. It has
been determined that they belong to 52 species and subspecies of 25 genera of 9 families. It
discovered that Ischnura intermedia is a new record for fauna of the research area.
KEY WORDS: Odonata, Additional records, East Mediterranean region, Turkey
There have been many studies reported about the Odonata fauna of
Turkey until now. Among these Demirsoy (1982) and Demirsoy (1995)
(unpublished project report) were the detailed ones. The research area
was studied by Ardıç & Uygun at 1996 as a presentation called “Doğu
Akdeniz Bölgesi Odonata faunasının saptanması”. They reported that 43
species belonging to Odonata had been determined. Materials belonging
to Ardıç and Uygun are stored at the museum of Çukurova University
Faculty of Agriculture, Plant Protection Department. As a result of a
careful investigation on the samples of the museum, it mistakes were
determined in the identification of some species. Wrong identifications
and the correct ones were given at the end of the present study (Table 1).
All samples were collected from the East Mediterranean region of
Turkey (Fig. 1) in the years of 2002-2003 and they were collected by
using a net trap and having been killed in the killing jars vapour of ethyl
acetate. These samples are deposited in Zoological Museum of Gazi
University (=ZMGU).

(Lepidoptera: Geometridae). Munis Entomology & Zoology, 1 (2): 253-256]
ABSTRACT: Two junior homonyms were detected amongst the Lepidoptera and the
following replacement names are proposed: Begumia for Lobus Fletcher, 1979 and Eliphia
for Moneta Warren, 1906 (Geometridae: Ennominae). Accordingly, new combinations are
herein proposed for all type species currently included in monotypic genera Lobus Fletcher,
1979 and Moneta Warren, 1906.

J.Kans.ent.Soc. 45: 8. (Insecta: Diptera: Asiloidea: Asilidae).
The Afrotropical and Oriental genus Lobus was erected by Martin
(1972) in Diptera (Asiloidea: Asilidae). It is still used as a valid generic
name in Diptera (Joseph & Pauri 1983, 1984, 1991, 1992, 1998). Also the
Australian genus Lobus was proposed by Fletcher (1979) as an objective
replacement name for Scioglyptis Meyrick, 1892 with the type species
Scioglyptis lithinopa Meyrick, 1892 by subsequent designation by Turner,
1917 in Lepidoptera (Geometroidea: Geometridae: Ennominae) from
Australia. Scioglyptis Meyrick, 1892 is a junior homonym of Scioglyptis
Guest, 1887 (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Ennominae). Scioglyptis Guest,
1887 and Lobus Fletcher, 1979 are still valid generic names in
Lepidoptera. Scoble (1999) included Scioglyptis Meyrick, 1892 as a junior
synonym of Lobus Fletcher, 1979 that had only one species. However, the
name Lobus Fletcher, 1979 is invalid under the law of homonymy, being a
junior homonym of Lobus Martin, 1972. Under the Zoological Code
(ICZN, 1999) it must be rejected and replaced. In accordance with article
60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, fourth edition
(1999), we propose to substitute the junior homonym Lobus Fletcher,
1979 for the nomen novum Begumia. As a result of this, Lobus Fletcher,
1979 is replaced with Begumia nom. nov. The following new
combination is established: Begumia lithinopa (Meyrick, 1892), comb.
nov.

The genus Moneta was erected by Cambridge (1870) with the type
species Moneta spinigera Cambridge, 1870 in Araneae (Labidognatha:
Theridiidae). It is still used as a valid generic name in Araneae (Okuma
1994, Zhu 1998, Song et al. 1999, Yoshida 2001, 2003, Namkung 2003).
Also the genus Moneta was described by Warren (1906) with the type
species Moneta plenicolor Warren, 1906 by original designation in
Lepidoptera (Geometroidea: Geometridae: Ennominae) from Angabunga
River, British New Guinea [Papua New Guinea]. It is still a valid generic
name in Lepidoptera. Scoble (1999) included only one species in the
genus Moneta Warren, 1906. However, the name Moneta Warren, 1906
is invalid under the law of homonymy, being a junior homonym of
Moneta Cambridge, 1870. Under the Zoological Code (ICZN, 1999) it
must be rejected and replaced. In accordance with article 60 of the
International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, fourth edition (1999), we
propose to substitute the junior homonym Moneta Warren, 1906 for the
nomen novum Eliphia. As a result of this, Moneta Warren, 1906 is

Mountain (Kahramanmaraş, Turkey), in Mediterranean Region. Munis Entomology &
Zoology 1 (2): 257-266]
ABSTRACT: This study was carried out on Ahır Mountain (Kahraman Maraş, Turkey), in the
Mediterranean Region between April and October of 2004 and 2005. In this region, there is
not any work about ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) so far. A total of 24 ground
beetles species were recorded in the pitfall traps. Among them, Calathus (Calathus)
libanensis pluriseriatus Putzeys, 1873 and Calathus (Calathus) syriacus Chaudoir, 1863
were the most abundant species. Separately, habitat selection (grassland, forest edge and
forest interior) of all species, diversity, monthly distribution and chorotypes, ecology of these
species are given in this study. It was recorded that the diversity of ground beetles was
significantly higher in the forest edge and grassland than in the forest interior. There was no
significant difference in the diversity of ground beetles of the grassland and the forest edge in
Ahır Mountain.
KEY WORDS : Carabidae, ground beetle, Ahır mountain.
Ahır mountain is the chain of the Southeast Toros mountains and this
area is located within the boundaries of Kahraman Maraş province,
Turkey, in the Mediterranean. The altitude of Ahır mountain changes
between 600 metre and 2301 metres. This area has a Mediterranean
climate, the main characteristics of which are : dry summers and warm
and rainy winters. The seasonal precipitation regime during the year is
winter, spring, autumn and summer. This is a typical first variant of the
East Mediterranean climate (Akman, 1990; Varol, 2003).
The study area lies within the Mediterranean phytogeographical region.
This region is dominated by the forest species Pinus brutia Ten., Pinus
nigra J.F. 7411 hectare forest field is present in Ahır mountain. 4532
hectare of this forest is fertile but 2879 hectare of it is infertile. This region
is important for its forest in Turkey. The grass and bushes dominated in
Mediterranean Region are found at the forest edge and unforest regions.
In this region, research about insects is rare and there is not any work
about ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) so far.
Ground beetles are very important on the biological agenda. They are
generalist predators which can greatly reduce insect pest (Varchola &
Dunn, 1999). The ground beetles have been an important study group in
ecological research. Because they are diverse and abundant, their ecology
and systematics are relatively well known, and they seem to be highly
sensitive to habitat changes and, thus, good indicators of environmental
change (Thiele, 1977; Ings & Hartley, 1999 ; Magura et al. 2000 ;
258
Melnychuk et al., 2003). There are many quantitative studies on the
distribution of ground beetles in various habitats in the world. For
example, some research has reported distribution of ground beetles in
jack pine, oak and maple, and on aspen stands with various histories of
defoliation and different soil types (Epstein & Kulman, 1990). It was
discovered in a work on the effects of habitat structure on the ground
beetle community composition of a regenerating native forest in the
Deeside region of northeast Scotland (Ings & Hartley, 1999). Similar
findings have been reported by Magura et al., 2000 and Gutierrez et al.,
2004. In addition, much of the previous work using carabids as
enviromental indicators has concentrated on moorland habitats (Gardner
et al., 1997; Ingls & Hartley, 1999). Most studies on the carabid
communities of woodlands have concentrated on the effects of
management practices such as afforestation of uplands (Butterfield et al.,
1995), soil scarificaiton (Parry & Rodger, 1986) and pest control (Walsh et.
Al., 1993). However, only a few studies have been carried out in pine forest
(Young & Armstrong, 1995; Ingls & Hartley, 1999).
In the literature much of the distribution of ground beetles in various
habitats in the world were recorded (Epstein & Kulman, 1990; Gandhi et
al., 2001; Armstrong & McKinlay, 1997; Allegro & Sciaky, 2003; Döring &
Kromp, 2003).
Although many studies were carried out about the effect of different
habitats, different climate, different altitude and different season on
ground beetles in different countries, in Turkey such studies are very rare.
The main aim of the present study is to determine habitat selection
(grassland, forest edge and forest interior), diversity, monthly distribution
and ecology of ground beetles in Ahır Mountain (Kahraman Maraş,
Turkey), in the Mediterranean Region. The study focusses on the use of
carabids as biological agenda forming the base. It also aimed to open the
way to the works on the ecology of ground beetles in Turkey. This is the
first study with this aim done about ground beetles in Turkey.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The material of this investigation was collected from the Ahır mountain
(Kahraman Maraş, Turkey) between April and October of 2004 and 2005.
This region is mostly dominated by pine forest (P. brutia and P.nigra).
Three habitats, forming a transect, were studied: 1). Forest interior, 2).
Forest edge and 3). Grassland. Samples were collected using pitfall traps
that were establihed in each of the 3 habitats. The pitfall traps consisted of
plastic cups filled with 25 % ethylene glycol set into the ground. The traps
were emptied monthly (Epstein & Kulman 1990, Armstrong & Mckinlay
1997, Magura et al. 2000). Specimens were dissected in the laboratory.
Materials were then identified to species using keys in Müller (1926),
Jeannel (1941), Lindroth (1974), Lindroth (1985), Trautner and
Geigenmüller (1987), Hurka (1996). The identificaiton of those which
weren’t identified were made with Prof. Augusto Vigna Taglianti and Dr.
259
Paolo Bonavita in Italy. Those which were already identified were checked
in Italy with Prof. Augusto Vigna Taglianti and Dr. Paolo Bonavita. The
specimens are deposited in the Biology Department of Çukurova
University.
RESULTS
In this study many ground beetles collected are a new record for Ahır
mountain. A total of 24 ground beetles species were recorded in the pitfall
traps, between April and October of 2004 and 2005. The traps were
emptied monthly. The species collected in pitfall traps every month are
given in table 1. Among them, Calathus (Calathus) libanensis
pluriseriatus Putzeys, 1873 and Calathus (Calathus) syriacus Chaudoir,
1863 were the most abundant species. The information collected about the
ecology of ground beetles and chorotypes is given below.
Genus Brachinus Weber, 1801
Ecology: In this research, four species belong to this genus were collected
in the traps forest edge and mostly in the region where grassland
dominated.
“Bombardier Beetles”. These species are found often in open country
on clayey soils, mostly in higher numbers. The larvae of all Brachinidae are
probably parasitic (Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987).
Brachinus (Brachinus) ejaculans Fischer von Waldheim, 1828
Chorotype : Turano-European (Casale & Vigna Taglianti, 1999).

Genus Calosoma Weber, 1801
Ecology: In this study, only one species belonging to this genus were
collected in the traps put in the forest interior.
This genus is know from lowlands to mountains, more commonly only
at the time of mass occurrence of lepidoptera forest pests (Hurka, 1996).
They mostly prey on caterpillars. Larval development is very short, only 23 weeks. Larvae are predatory, too (Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987).
Calosoma sycophanta (Linné, 1758)
Chorotype : Palearctic (Holarctic) (Casale & Vigna Taglianti, 1999).
Genus Carabus Linné, 1758
Ecology: In this study, three species belong to this genus were collected
in the traps put at the edge and in the interior of the forest but the forest
260
interior traps, yielded.
They preferably feed on earth-worms, snails, slugs, and numerous
insects, however, they do also feed on carrion and sometimes even on
vegetable matter. Digestion is extra-intestinal. Usually single eggs are laid
in the ground. The larval development takes several weeks. Larvae are
predators. Pupation takes place in the ground. Almost all species are
mainly active at night. For their defense they can spray acid fluids from
their anal glands and salivate digestive ferment. Wings reduced in nearly
all species (Lindroth, 1985; Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987).

Genus Leistus Fröhlich, 1799
Ecology: In this study, only one species belong to this genus was collected
in the traps put both in the forest interior and the forest edge.
These species are found in different habitats, some species montane to
subalpine. The species of this genus occur among debris in more or less
shady places, where they prey upon mites, Collembola, etc. They are
nocturnal (Lindroth, 1985; Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987).
Leistus (Pogonophorus) spinibarbis rufipes Chaudoir, 1843
Chorotype :Cyprus and Anatolian (Casale & Vigna Taglianti, 1999).
Genus Notiophilus Duméril, 1806
Ecology: In this study, only one species belonging to this genus was
collected and it was collected in the trap which was put in the forest
interior.
They live on the litter-layer of forests, heaths, or meadows, some at
shores. They are active during the day and hunt by sight. The species are
diurnal, sun-loving insects, very rapid in their movement. They are
visually hunting beetles, preying upon mites, Collembola and other
arthropods. The larvae have specialized on Collembola to a greater extent
than have the adults (Lindroth, 1985; Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987;
Hurka, 1996).
Notiophilus danieli Reitter, 1897
Chorotype : East Mediterranean (Casale & Vigna Taglianti, 1999).
Genus Metallina Motschulsky, 1850
collected and it was collected in the trap which was put in the region where
grassland dominated.
261
They are Brachypterous, rarely macropterous. These live in drier to
semi-moist and unshaded Calluna heaths, mostly on peaty soil and hills
(Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987; Hurka, 1996).
Metallina (Neja) sporadica (J. Sahlberg, 1903)
Genus Amara Bonelli, 1810
Ecology: In this research, two species belonging to this genus were
mostly collected in the traps at the forest edge and mostly in the region
where the grassland dominated.
They are macropterous, observed in flight (Hurka, 1996). Many species
are active at daytime. Imagines are partly or completely phytophagous,
they preferably feed on flowers and seeds (e. g. of Cruciferes). Larvae are
mostly predatory and live in burrows (Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987).
Very distributed and very common. A xerophilous species living in open
country on dry, sandy or clayey soil with rather dense but short vegetation.
Notably on heaths and grasssland; also on cultivated land, often on lawns
in parks and in gardens. The beetle is pronouncedly diurnal, often seen
running on the surface in bright sunshine. It feeds on plant seeds and has
been reported to be harmful to winter cereals. Breeding takes places in
spring (Lindroth, 1985).
Amara (Amara) aenea (De Geer, 1774)
Chorotype : Palearctic (Casale & Vigna Taglianti, 1999).
Amara (Amara) proxima Putzeys, 1866
Chorotype : South European (Casale & Vigna Taglianti, 1999).
Genus Ophonus Dejean, 1821
collected in the traps at the forest ledge and mostly at the region where
These species is brachypterous, rarely macropterous. It occurs in dry,
open habitats, usually on gravelly, clay-mixed chalky soil with short,
sparse vegetation, e.g. in dry meadows and grassland, often on southern
hill-sides. The species is regularly found in company with Harpalus,
Brachinus, etc. It is usually considered a typical spring breeder, but finds
of newly emerged beetles in mid and late June suggest that autumn
breeding may also occur (Lindroth, 1985; Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987;
Hurka, 1996).
Ophonus (Hesperophonus) subquadratus (Dejean, 1829)
Chorotype : Mediterranean (Casale & Vigna Taglianti, 1999).
Genus Harpalus Latreille, 1802
Ecology: In this study, only one species belonging to this genus were
collected in the traps at the forest edge and mostly at the region where

Many species are partly or preferably phytophagous, at least as imago
(Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987). These species is found in unshaded
habitats; steppe, vineyards, fields, fallows; lowlands to hills (Hurka, 1996).
Harpalus (Harpalophonus) metallinus Ménétriés, 1836

Genus Ditomus Bonelli, 1810
Ecology: In this research, only one species belonging to this genus was
collected in the traps at the forest edge and mostly in the region where the
grassland vegetation dominated.
These species are mostly phytophagous. They live mostly on sandy and
partly saline soils near the coast and for aestivation in the dry summer
plantago-seeds are collected and stored in the subterranean burrows
(Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987).

1996).
Dixus eremita (Dejean, 1825)
Dixus obscurus (Dejean, 1825)
Genus Calathus Bonelli, 1810
Ecology: In this study, two species belonging to this genus were collected.
These species were collected in the traps which were put mostly in the
forest interior.
This commonly distributed species usually lives in open country on
different kinds of moderately dry ground with sparse vegetation, achieving
its greatest abundance on sandy soil. It is a common inhabitant of dry
meadows, grassland, dunes and heaths; also on agricultural land and in
thin forests, mainly of Pinus. It is frequent in the fields up to the lower
263
alpine region. It is probably chiefly carnivorous (Lindroth, 1985; Hurka,
1996).
Calathus (Calathus) libanensis pluriseriatus Putzeys, 1873

Genus Anchomenus Bonelli, 1810
They are macropterous, observed in flight. They are in unshaded, dry to
moderately moist habitats ; fields, steppe, pastures, edges of small woods ;
from lowlands to mountains, often gregariously (Lindroth, 1985; Hurka,
1996).
Anchomenus (Anchomenus) dorsalis (Pontoppidan, 1763)
Genus Microlestes Schmidt-Goebel, 1846
collected mostly in the region where grassland dominated.
This species is brachypterous, rarely macropterous. They live in rather
dry habitats, indifferent to shade: steppe, pastures, brick-yards; lowlands
to mountains, often in hills (Hurka, 1996). They are found preferably on
sandy or clayey soils which are exposed to sunlight and at least partly poor
in vegetation (Lindroth, 1985; Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987).
Microlestes maurus (Sturm, 1827)
Chorotype : Turano European (Casale & Vigna Taglianti, 1999).
Genus Lamprias Bonelli, 1810
mostly collected in the region where grassland dominated.
Probably all species are parasites or macropterous, observed in flight.
They rarely live in dry to moderatly moist, unshaded habitats : steppe,
pastures ; lowlands to foothills. On low vegetation in open country, mostly
in spring (Trautner & Geigenmüller, 1987; Hurka, 1996).
Lamprias cyanocephalus (Linné, 1758)
DISCUSSION
In the recent studies, generally the ecology of carabids which have a
very important biological agenda has been more important rather than the
systematic study of ground beetles. As in this research, much research on
264
the diverstiy of ground beetles and on their effect on habitat structure in
the forest region of different countries has been investigated (Debinski &
Brussard, 1994; Molnar et al., 2001; Gutierrez et al., 2004).
On Ahır mountain it was observed that the diversity of ground beetles
was significantly higher in the forest edge and grassland than in the forest
interior. There was no significant difference in the diversity of ground
beetles of the grassland and the forest edge. Similar results were obtained
from research carried out in oak- hornbeam forest in Hungary (Molnar et
al., 2001). This also emphasized the edge effect on ground beetles, because
forested habitats were usually significantly less diverse than the open areas
(Magura & Tothmeresz, 1998; Molnar et al., 2001).
Also, the monthly distribution of carabids collected in pitfall traps was
given in this research (table 1) and this information shows seasonal
distribution of ground beetles on Ahır mountain. In addition, similar
studies have been carried out in many countries, but the results showed
some differences according the climate of that country (Epstein & Kulman,
1990; Armstrong & McKinlay, 1997).

NOMENCLATURAL CHANGES IN CERAMBYCIDAE
(COLEOPTERA)
Hüseyin Özdikmen*
[Özdikmen, H. 2006. Nomenclatural changes in Cerambycidae (Coleoptera). Munis
ABSTRACT: A replacement name, Fehmii nom. nov. is proposed for the preoccupied genus
name Damiria Fairmaire, 1900 (Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Cleomenini). Also, a
clarification on the validity of the generic name Zotalemimon Pic, 1925 is presented.
KEY WORDS: Fehmii, Damiria, Zotalemimon, Diboma, homonymy, replacement name,
Coleoptera, Cerambycidae.
Fehmii nom. nov., substitute name
Damiria Fairmaire, 1900. Bull. Soc. ent. France, 1900, 89. (Coleoptera: Chrysomeloidea:
Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Cleomenini). Preoccupied by Damiria Keller, 1891. Z. wiss.
Zool., 52, 308. (Porifera: Cellularia: Demospongiae: Ceractinomorpha: Poecilosclerida:
Microcionina: Acarnidae).
Remarks: The name Damiria was initially introduced by Keller (1891) for
a genus of the sponges family Acarnidae (with the type species Damiria
simplex Keller, 1891). For the present, Anisotylacanthaea Vacelet, 1969;
[Damira] de Laubenfels (lapsus) and Xytopsene de Laubenfels, 1936 are
the junior names of Damiria Keller, 1891 (Hooper, 2000). Subsequently,
Fairmaire (1900) described a beetle genus of the family Cerambycidae
(with the type species Damiria perrieri Fairmaire, 1900 by monotypy)
under the same generic name. Thus, the genus Damiria Fairmaire, 1900
is a junior homonym of the genus Damiria Keller, 1891. According to
Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, I
propose for the genus Damiria Fairmaire, 1900 the new replacement
name Fehmii nom. nov. The name dedicated to Fehmi Özdikmen. The
name is masculine in gender.
Distribution: Known from Madagascar.
Fehmii new replacement name = Damiria Fairmaire, 1900 (non Keller, 1891).
Fehmii perrieri (Fairmaire, 1900) new comb. from Damiria.
Also, Damiria Keller, 1891 (Porifera) and Damiria Fairmaire,
1900 (Coleoptera) are recorded in Nomenclator Zoologicus vol. 2: 10 p.
by Neave (1939).
268
A clarification on the validity of the generic
name Zotalemimon Pic, 1925
Diboma Thomson, 1864. Syst. Cerambycid., 46. (Coleoptera: Chrysomeloidea:
Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Desmiphorini). Preoccupied by Diboma Walker, 1863. List
Specimens Lep. Ins. Brit. Mus., 27, 8. (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea: Pyralidae: Pyralinae).
Remarks: Thomson (1864) proposed the genus Diboma with the type
species Diboma tranquilla Thomson, 1864 in the beetles family
Cerambycidae. Unfortunately, the generic name was already preoccupied
by Walker (1863), who had described the genus Diboma with the type
species Diboma abscissalis Walker, 1863 by monotypy in the moth family
Pyralidae. Thus, the genus Diboma Thomson, 1864 is a junior homonym
of the generic name Diboma Walker, 1863. According to the International
Code of Zoological Nomenclature, it must be rejected and replaced.
However, any replacement name for Diboma Thomson, 1864 is
unnecessary because there are apparently several synonyms. The generic
names Zotalemimon Pic, 1925; Donysia Gressitt, 1940 and
Sybrocentrura Breuning, 1947 are the junior synonyms of Diboma
Thomson, 1864 (Kusama & Takakuwa, 1984; Heffern, 2005). So I
propose to substitute name Zotalemimon Pic, 1925 that is available and
the senior synonym of the generic name Diboma Thomson, 1864 for
Diboma Thomson, 1864.
Distribution: Known from Madagascar, Comores and SE Asia: beginning
from southern Japan and Taiwan and extending as far south as Malaysia.
Zotalemimon Pic, 1925 = Diboma Thomson, 1864 (non Walker, 1863) = Donysia
Gressitt, 1940 = Sybrocentrura Breuning, 1947.
Zotalemimon tranquilla (Thomson, 1864) new comb. from Diboma.
Zotalemimon procera (Pascoe, 1859) new comb. from Diboma.
Zotalemimon costata (Matsushita, 1933) new comb. from Diboma.
Zotalemimon posticata (Gahan, 1890) new comb. from Diboma.
Zotalemimon borneotica (Breuning, 1969) new comb. from Diboma.
Also, Diboma Walker, 1863 (Lepidoptera) and Diboma Thomson,
1864 (Coleoptera) are recorded in Nomenclator Zoologicus vol. 2: 66 p.
by Neave (1939).

Paragonia Mesnil, 1950 and Menetus Aldrich, 1926 (Diptera). Munis Entomology &
Zoology, 1 (2): 270-272]
ABSTRACT: Two junior homonyms were detected amongst the Tachinidae and the
following replacement names are proposed: Mesnilius for Paragonia Mesnil, 1950 and
Aldrichomyia for Menetus Aldrich, 1926. Accordingly, new combinations are herein
proposed for the type species currently included in monotypic genera Paragonia Mesnil,
1950 and Menetus Aldrich, 1926.
Keywords:

TAXONOMY
Order Diptera
Family Tachinidae
Mesnilius nom. nov., substitute name
Paragonia Mesnil, 1950. In Lindner, Flieg. palaearkt. Reg. Stuttgart, 64g, 106 (1950).
(Diptera: Tachinidae: Goniinae: Sturmiini). Preoccupied by Paragonia Huebner, [1823].
Verz. bekannt. Schmett., (19) 292. (Lepidoptera: Geometroidea: Geometridae: Ennominae).
Remarks: Mesnil (1950) proposed the genus Paragonia with the type
species Paragonia portentosa Mesnil, 1950 by original designation in the
fly family Tachinidae (Diptera) (Cantrell & Crosskey, 1989; Evenhuis,
1996; O’Hara & Wood, 2004; O’Hara, 2005). Unfortunately, the generic
name was already preoccupied by Huebner (1823), who had described the
genus Paragonia with the type species Phalaena tasima Cramer, 1779 by
monotypy in the moth family Geometridae (Lepidoptera). Scoble et al.
(1999) included 9 species and 2 subspecies (inc. nominates) in the genus
Paragonia Huebner, 1823 and also Clysia Guenée, 1858 as a junior
synonym of the genus Paragonia. Thus, Paragonia Mesnil, 1950 is invalid
under the law of homonymy, being a junior homonym of Paragonia
Huebner [1823]. In accordance with article 60 of the International Code
of Zoological Nomenclature, fourth edition (1999), I propose to substitute
the junior homonym Paragonia Mesnil, 1950 for the nomen novum
Mesnilius.
Etymology: from L. P. Mesnil who current author name of preexisting
genus Paragonia. The name is masculine in gender.
271
Distribution: Known from Australia (WA).
Summary of nomenclatural changes;
Mesnilius new replacement name = Paragonia Mesnil, 1950 (non
Huebner, [1823])
Mesnilius portentosa (Mesnil, 1950) new comb. from Paragonia
Mesnil, 1950.
Aldrichomyia nom. nov., substitute name
Menetus Aldrich, 1926. Trans. Amer. ent. Soc., 52, 23. (Diptera: Brachycera: Tachinidae:
Dexiinae: Voriini). Preoccupied by Menetus Adams & Adams, 1855. Gen. Moll., 2, 262.
(Mollusca: Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Hygrophila: Planorboidea: Planorbidae).
Remarks: The name Menetus was initially introduced by Adams &
Adams (1855) for a genus of the gastropod family Planorbidae (with the
type species Menetus opercularis (Gould, 1847)). At present, the genus
Menetus Adams & Adams, 1855 includes 5 species and 2 subspecies as
Menetus alabamensis Pilsbry, 1895; Menetus brogniartianus (I. Lea,
1842); Menetus dilatatus dilatatus (Gould, 1841); Menetus dilatatus avus
Pilsbry, 1905; Menetus floridensis F. C. Baker, 1945; Menetus opercularis
(Gould, 1847) and Menetus sampsoni Ancey, 1885 (Baker, 1945;
Thompson, 1983; Burch, 1989; Turgeon et al., 1998). Subsequently,
Aldrich (1926) described a new nearctic fly genus of the family Tachinidae
(with the type species Brachicoma macropogon Bigot, 1889 by
monotypy) under the same generic name (O’Hara & Wood, 2004). Thus,
Menetus Aldrich, 1926 is invalid under the law of homonymy, being a
junior homonym of Menetus Adams & Adams, 1855. In accordance with
article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, fourth
edition (1999), I propose for the genus Menetus Aldrich, 1926 the new
replacement name Aldrichomyia nom. nov.
Etymology: from Aldrich who current author name of preexisting genus
Menetus. The name is masculine in gender.
Distribution: Known from nearctic region.
Aldrichomyia new replacement name = Menetus Aldrich, 1926 (non
Adams & Adams, 1855).
Aldrichomyia macropogon (Bigot, 1889) new comb. from Menetus
Aldrich, 1926.

[Kıyak, S., Canbulat, S., Salur, A. & Darılmaz, M. 2006. Additional notes on aquatic
Coleoptera fauna of Turkey with a new record (Helophoridae, Hydrophilidae). Munis
ABSTRACT: In this study, 31 aquatic beetle specimens collected from the provinces Denizli,
Aydın, Isparta and Antalya in south-west Mediterranean region of Turkey, between 2000–
2002 have been established faunistically. It has been determined that they belong to 13
species of 7 genera of 2 families. 7 of these examined species are new records for south-west
Mediterranean region and Helophorus (s.str.) grandis Illiger, 1798 is a new record for
Turkey.
KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Helophoridae, Hydrophilidae, fauna, new record, Turkey.
A total of 34 genera of aquatic Hydrophilidae are known from the
Palaearctic and Oriental regions. So far, 15 genera and 77 species of
Hydrophilidae have been recorded from Turkey (Gentili & Chiesa, 1975;
Lenistea, 1978; Gentili, 1979, 2000; Henegouwen, 1986; Hansen, 1987;
Hebauer, 1993, 1994; Ribera et al., 1997; Schödl, 1997, 1998; Cuppen &
Van Maanen, 1998; İncekara et al., 2003a, 2003b, 2004a, 2005a, 2005b;
Mart et al., 2003; Hansen, 2004; Hebauer & Ryndevich, 2005; Darılmaz
& Kıyak, 2006).
The Helophoridae is also a large family comprising of a single
subfamily containing a single genus, Helophorus Fabricius. This genus
includes about 190 species (Angus, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1992; Smetana,
1985). 51 species have been recorded belonging to the six subgenera in
Turkey, previously (Lenistea, 1978; Angus, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1992;
Hebauer, 1994; Mart & Erman, 2001; Hansen, 2004; İncekara et. al.
2004b, 2005b, 2005c, 2005d; Darılmaz & Kıyak, 2006). With this study,
one new record was added to the Turkish Helophoridae fauna.
METHODS
All samples were collected from south-west Mediterranean region in
the years 2000-2002. The samples were collected from spring water
areas, with either a sieve, ladle or water-net having a 1 mm mesh size. The
beetles were killed with 70% alcohol and in the laboratory cleaned of
274
debris with a small paintbrush. The aedeagophore was dissected under a
stereo-microscope and left in 10% KOH solution for about 1–2 hours.
Materials have been deposited in the Zoological Museum of Gazi
University (=ZMGU), Ankara, Turkey.

(Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). Munis Entomology & Zoology 1 (2): 279-288]
ABSTRACT: The taxa of Turkish Spondylidinae fauna that were recorded by various authors
from different localities of Turkey are evaluated zoogeographically with the present paper.
For this reason, the distribution patterns in Turkey and rest of the world for each taxon of
related subfamily are determined. Also, chorotypes for each taxon are given in the parts of
zoogeographical remarks.
Key Words: Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Spondylidinae, Turkey, Zoogeography, Fauna
The longhorn beetles or Cerambycidae are classified together with
Chrysomelidae and Bruchidae in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea. But,
some authors recognized Cerambycidae as a separate superfamily
Cerambycoidea (Svacha & Danilevsky, 1986). Cerambycidae sensu stricto
is divided into several subfamilies. These are Parandrinae, Prioninae,
Lepturinae, Necydalinae, Spondylidinae, Apatophyseinae, Cerambycinae
and Lamiinae. Parandrinae are not represented in Turkey. Moreover, the
subfamilies Necydalinae and Apatophyseinae are represented only a few
species in Turkey.
The Turkish Spondylidinae fauna has not been evaluated as detailed
by any authors yet. The works on the fauna of Spondylidinae in Turkey
have been carried out especially towards late second half of the 20.
century mostly faunistically. These are: Fairmaire (1884), Schimitschek
(1944), Alkan (1946), Erdem (1947), Acatay (1948, 1961, 1963 and 1968),
Defne (1954), Çanakçıoğlu (1956 and 1983), Demelt & Alkan (1962),
Demelt (1963 and 1967), Villiers (1967), Erdem (1968), Besçeli (1969),
Gfeller (1972), Gül-Zümreoğlu (1972 and 1975), Tosun (1975), Erdem &
Çanakçıoğlu (1977), Lobanov et al. (1981), Sekendiz (1981), Sama (1982
and 2002), Danilevsky & Miroshnikov (1985), Svacha & Danilevsky
(1986), Öymen (1987), Önder et al. (1987), Adlbauer (1988 and 1992),
Sama & Rapuzzi (1993), Yüksel (1996), Lodos (1998), Tauzin (2000),
Alkan (2000), Tozlu (2001), Tozlu et al. (2002), Danilevsky (2005),
Özdikmen & Çağlar (2004), Özdikmen & Şahin (2005), Malmusi & Saltini
(2005), Özdikmen (2006). But, any work included the subfamily
Spondylidinae completely is presently related to Turkish fauna. The
known taxa of Spondylidinae in the studies above have been given
together with other examined Cerambycidae taxa by various authors step
by step. So nowadays, such data about the Turkish Spondylidinae fauna
have reached a considerable level. The main aim of the present paper is to
280
evaulate the Turkish Spondylidinae fauna zoogeographically and
faunistically by using known data.
In this paper classification and nomenclature of the longhorn beetles
suggested by Danilevsky, 2005 and Althoff & Danilevsky, 1997 are
followed. All genera are listed in the same order as in Danilevsky (2005),
Althoff & Danilevsky (1997) and Sama (2002). Within the genera the
species are listed alphabetically. Each name of a species or subspecies is
accompained by the author’s name and description date. The data,
“Current records from Turkey”, “Range” and “Zoogeographical Remarks”
under the title for each taxon is given in this present text. The present
zoogeographical characterization is based on the chorotype classification
of Anatolian fauna, recently proposed by Vigna Taglianti et al. (1999).
Subfamily Spondylidinae
Tribe Saphanini
Genus Drymochares Mulsant, 1847

Ganglbauer, 1888 occurs only in Caucasus. Drymochares starcki cavazzutii is known from
Abchazia, Armenia and north-eastern Turkey. Drymochares starcki ivani is only known
from northern part of Turkey (Sama & Rapuzzi, 1993). These taxa may be distinguished by
the different pubescence of elytra. Tauzin (2000) mentioned that Ilgaz Mountains in
Kastamonu province was the hybridization area for the two subspecies occurring in Turkey.

DISCUSSION
The Turkish Spondylidinae subfamily is represented by 4 tribes as
Saphanini, Anisarthronini, Asemini and Spondylidini. The tribe
Saphanini includes 3 genera as Drymochares, Saphanus and Oxypleurus.
The tribe Anisarthronini includes 2 genera as Anisarthron and Alocerus.
The tribe Asemini includes 4 genera as Nothorhina, Asemum, Arhopalus
and Tetropium. The tribe Spondylidini includes only one genus as
Spondylis normally.
In the tribe Saphanini, the genus Drymochares is represented by 2
subspecies as D. s. cavazzutii and D. s. ivani of the species Drymochares
starcki. The other two genera, Saphanus and Oxypleurus are represented
285
by one each species as Saphanus piceus (Laicharting, 1784) and
Oxypleurus nodieri Mulsant, 1839 respectively.
In the tribe Anisarthronini, both genera Anisarthron and Alocerus are
represented by one species each as Anisarthron barbipes (Schrank, 1781)
and Alocerus moesiacus (Frivaldsky, 1838) respectively.
In the tribe Spondylidini, the genus Spondylis is represented by the
species Spondylis buprestoides (Linnaeus, 1758).
In the tribe Asemini, the genus Nothorhina is represented by the
species Nothorhina muricata (Dalman, 1817). The genus Asemum is
represented by 2 species as Asemum striatum (Linnaeus, 1758) and
Asemum tenuicorne Kraatz, 1879. The genus Arhopalus is represented by
3 species as Arhopalus ferus (Mulsant, 1839), Arhopalus rusticus
(Linnaeus, 1758) and Arhopalus syriacus (Reitter, 1895). According to
literatures, the genus Tetropium has been represented by 3 species as
Tetropium castaneum (Linnaeus, 1758), Tetropium fuscum (Fabricius,
1787) and Tetropium gabrieli Weise, 1905. But, as seen in the text,
Tetropium gabrieli has only been known by Acatay’s records from Turkey.
However, Acatay’s records are wrong. We think the species must not
occur in Turkey according to its known distribution patterns in the world.
Consequently, the Turkish Spondylidinae subfamily includes 4 tribes,
10 genera, 14 species and 2 subspecies until now according to the present
paper. Taking into consideration the status of the species Tetropium
gabrieli, the known real taxa number of Turkish Spondylidinae is 15 as
species and subspecies. Moreover, Sama (pers. com.) mentioned that
Anisarthron barbipes, Saphanus piceus and all species of the genus
Tetropium are very likely absent in Turkey. Under these circumtances,
Turkish Spondylidinae includes 4 tribes, 7 genera, 9 species and 2
subspecies.
Zoogeographically, Asemum striatum (Linnaeus, 1758) and Arhopalus
rusticus (Linnaeus, 1758) have the Holarctic chorotype. Oxypleurus
nodieri Mulsant, 1839, Alocerus moesiacus (Frivaldsky, 1838) and
Arhopalus syriacus (Reitter, 1895) have the Mediterranean chorotype.
Saphanus piceus (Laicharting, 1784) and Anisarthron barbipes (Schrank,
1781) have the S-European chorotype. Nothorhina muricata (Dalman,
1817), Tetropium castaneum (Linnaeus, 1758), Tetropium fuscum
(Fabricius, 1787) and Spondylis buprestoides (Linnaeus, 1758) have the
Sibero-European chorotype. Arhopalus ferus (Mulsant, 1839) has the
Sibero-European and the Turano-Europeo-Mediterranean chorotypes.
Asemum tenuicorne Kraatz, 1879 has probably the Turano-European
chorotype. Tetropium gabrieli Weise, 1905 has the Centraleuropean
chorotype. The subspecies Drymochares starcki cavazzutii Sama &
Rapuzzi, 1993 has been known from Turkey and Caucasus. The other
subspecies Drymochares starcki ivani Sama & Rapuzzi, 1993 are known
only from Turkey yet.

THE OCCURRENCE OF CHORISTONEURA MURINANA
IN ABIES CILICICA FORESTS IN ASIA MINOR

[Sarıkaya, O. & Avcı, M. 2006. The occurrence of Choristoneura murinana in Abies
cilicica forests in Asia Minor. Munis Entomology & Zoology 1 (2): 289-296]
ABSTRACT: Although widespread in European fir forests, Choristoneura murinana
(Hübner) was not known in Asia Minor until 2000. Owing to the serious damage caused by
this budworm in the Lakes District to stands of Abies cilicica Carr., this study was launched
on its distribution, morphology, biology and injury.
Forewings of the C. murinana adults are yellowish-beige colored. The mean wingspan
between forewings was 22.8±1.7 mm (mean ± standard deviation) in female and 18.5±1.6
mm (mean±SD) in male adults. The main flying period of C. murinana lasts from the mid of
June to the end of July. The moth is univoltine and overwinters in larval stage. C. murinana
has a total of 6 larval instars, with greyish-light green mature larvae. Pupation takes place
among the last needles they feed on. C. murinana causes serious damage to fresh shoots,
buds and needles, especially when the larvae molt to third stage in the second half of April.
Spring feeding of the larvae causes more damage than summer and autumn feeding.
Key words: Choristoneura murinana, fir forest, the Lakes District, budworm, Turkey
The European fir budworm (=EFB) Choristoneura murinana
(Hübner) (Lep.: Tortricidae) feeds on the needles, buds and shoots of fir
trees (Du Merle & Géraud, 1988). It was recorded for the first time in Asia
Minor in 2000, in Abies cilicica Carr. stands in Yenişarbademli, county of
Isparta, Turkey (Sarıkaya & Avcı, 2002). EFB is a pest of the fir, and after
heavy defoliation the tree weakens and is attacked by bark beetles
(especially Pityokteines curvidens Germ. and Cryphalus piceae Ratz.)
which may cause the death of the tree.
EFB is widespread in the northern hemisphere especially in Central
and Eastern Europe. Damage caused by C. murinana was first recorded
in 1805 in Thüringerwald forests in Germany (Bucher, 1953). Outbreaks
of the insect in different regions of Germany were recorded by
Schimitschek (1936) and Franz (1940). Outbreaks of EFB were reported
from Central and Eastern Europe (Patocka, 1960; Birova, 1966; Du Merle
et al., 1992; Géraud, 1988; Du Merle & Brunet, 1991; Du Merle et al.,
1990; Markalas & Bogenschütz, 1995). Beside these studies, the moth was
recorded in central Russia and Siberia (Ivliev et al., 1970; Galkin, 1980).
Du Merle et al. (1992) and Bogenschütz (1997) stated that EFB caused
serious damage throughout A. alba regions in Europe. Their studies
showed that C. murinana, which was first known as monophagus on A.
alba, caused damage on other species of trees in various regions of
Europe and Siberia also. The occurrence of the moth in Yenişarbademli
fir forests suggests that Asia Minor is included in the range of EFB and A.
cilicica is a new host plant (Sarıkaya & Avcı, 2002). The study on the
290
biology and ecology of the moth was launched owing to the severe
damages inflicted to the local fir stands.
MATERIALS & METHODS
Field studies were conducted between 2001 and 2003 in May-August
in a mixed forest in Yenişarbademli (Fig. 1). The stand includes mainly A.
cilicica, a few Pinus nigra Arnold and Juniperus excelsa Bieb. The
morphology and biology of EFB was studied on laboratory reared
individuals. Larvae were removed from the damaged fir trees at different
altitudes (between 1060 and 1400 m) of the study area. A survey was
conducted by Delta pheromone traps in neighbor fir stands. The larvae
were put into plastic jars (25x25x30 cm) and fed with fresh fir shoots. In
addition to the laboratory reared pupae, additional pupae were taken
from the forest and put into jars. The development was monitored until
adult emergence. Measurements of the wingspan of 30 ♂ and 30 ♀ were
taken. The sex ratio and the life span of moths were assessed. The mating
took place in reproduction jars. The eggs were collected from the shoots
and maintained in the laboratory at 21-24 °C.
RESULTS
Distribution
After the finding of the budworm in A. cilicica forests of
Yenişarbademli, a county of Isparta, in 2000, investigations were
conducted also in A. cilicica forests of Lakes District, southwest Turkey.
However, EFB was found only in Yenişarbademli Taurus fir (A. cilicia)
forests.
Biometrics
The wings of adult are yellowish-beige colored with light stripes and
brown patterns. Forewings bear had light stripes and brown patterns.
Hind wings are brownish grey (Fig.2). Male are smaller than female
moths, and the mean wingspan was 22.8±1.7 mm (18-24 mm) in female
and 18.5±1.6 mm (16-21 mm) in male moths.
The eggs are laid in two rows and attached on the needles. The eggs
are oval, the upper surface is convex and lower surface is disc-shaped,
with a width of 0.8-1 mm (0.9±0.06 mm). Mean number of eggs in an egg
mass was 26±3.4 (12-42) (n=76).
The newly hatched larvae are greenish-yellow, with reddish-brown
head capsules. The first instar larvae are 2 mm long on average. The
mature larvae are grayish-light green with blackish-brown head capsules.
Abdomen segments are black and clearly visible. The thoracic legs are
black. The mean length of mature larvae is 1.6±0.25 cm (1.2-2.1 cm) (Fig.
3). The mean width of the head capsules of last (sixth) instar larvae is
1.60±0.32 mm (1.43-1.80 mm, n=32).
The prepupa is greyish green like last instar larvae. 1-2 days after
pupating, the pupae turn to brown (Fig. 4). The pupa mean length is
9.8±1.3 mm (8-12 mm, n=75). Its mean width is 3.6±0.22 mm (3-4 mm,
291
n=75). Male pupae were smaller (0.33±0.0035 g) and lighter than female
pupae (0.48±0.012 g).
Feeding and damage symptoms
The larvae feed on young shoots, buds and needles. They seem to
prefer the current year needles. The heavily defoliation is caused by the
advance instar larvae (3-6) soon after hibernation. They move between
shoots by spinning webs, surrounding two or more neighbouring needles
used for shelter. Larvae caused heavy damage on the shoots (Fig. 5).
Basic Biology
C. murinana is a univoltine species. The main flight period lasts from
the mid of June to the end of July. Lifespan of adults was 6 days in
laboratory. The ratio of male/female was determined as 1/1.
Fresh egg masses are green; they turn to light green in 2 nd day and to
yellow-green 4-5 days after deposition. Incubation lasted 7-9 days in the
laboratory. Hatching began on June 17 in 2002 and on June 15 in 2003.
In the forest hatching occurred one week later.
The larvae terminated hibernation in the second half of April. It was
observed that larvae were carried by the wind between shoots and trees.
The 6th instar larvae were observed at the end of May.
Pupation takes place inside webs surrounded by half consumed
needles. In laboratory (21-24 °C) pupation occurred on June 3 and adult
emergence occurred on June 12. Hence, pupa stage lasted about 9 days.
In the forest the pupation extended for about 12-14 days.
DISCUSSION
The first record of C. murinana in Turkey was in 2000 in the Abies
cilicica stands in Yenişarbademli district. Similar to other species of
Abies, A. cilicica is also a suitable host for EFB. In Europe, Priesner et al.
(1980), Du Merle & Cornic (1991), Du Merle et al. (1992) and
Bogenschütz (1997) described the biology and the damage caused by the
budworm on A. alba. Kailidis & Georgevits (1971) found the budworm on
A. cephalonica and A. borisi regis. In addition to these results, other
hosts were identified by Du Merle et al. (1992) (A. grandis), Du Merle &
Cornic (1989; 1991) (Cedrus atlantica Endl.) and Du Merle et al. (1990)
(Picea abies L.).
Du Merle & Cornic (1991) conducted research in three different
regions of France (Combe Noire, Mont-Ventoux and Luberon) and
reported the wingspan between forewings of mature males and females.
In their research in Combe Noire in 1985, they determined the wingspan
between forewings of mature males to be between 13.0-21.2 mm and 18
mm on average. In the study in Mont-Ventoux, they observed that this
distance in mature males is between 12.0-20.6 mm and is 17.6 mm on
average. In the same study in Luberon region in 1988, they reported that
the wingspan between forewings of male matures was between 14.2-18.6
mm and 16.6 mm on average whereas in female matures this distance was
between 14.8-21.8 mm and 18.8 on average. Du Merle et al. (1992) found
292
the wingspan between forewings of matures to be 22.6 mm in females
and 18.2 mm in males. It can be seen that the results of these
investigations and our measures do not have great difference, except the
fact that the values that are found in Luberon region are smaller than
what we have found.
Du Merle & Brunet (1991) counted the number of C. murinana eggs in
A. alba forests in Combre-Noire region of France and they determined
the average number of eggs in an egg packet as 17.6. Du Merle et al.
(1992) determined the average number of eggs as 23.3 in their research in
Massif Central region of France. Our results are similar to the ones that
were reported for the Massif Central region, whereas they were different
from the results obtained from Combre Noire forests.
Du Merle & Brunet (1991) reported that eggs changed yellow green in
color about 5-6 days after laying and larvae hatched in 10-12 days. We
determined that hatching occurred 10-12 days after depositing.
Bogenschütz (1991) reported that the lengths of mature larvae were
usually between 1.2-1.8 cm and this value may be as high as 2.2 cm. In
our study this value was determined to be between 1.2 and 2.1 cm
(average 1.6±0.25 cm). It can be seen that values about the length of
mature larva do not have any significant difference.
Du Merle et al. (1992) determined the width of pupa to be between
2.5-3.4 mm in their study which was conducted in France. Also in same
study they published that the average weight of male pupa was 0.035 gr
whereas in female, it was 0.052 gr. Bogenschütz (1991) reported that the
average weight of male pupa was 0.040 gr in female it was 0.052 gr. and
the length of pupae were between 8-14 mm. When our work is compared
with the two works mentioned above it can be seen that our results are
similar to those of Du Merle et al. (1992).
Bogenschütz (1991) reported that the flight period of the moth is from
the end of June until the end of July. Du Merle & Brunet (1991)
determined this period to be from the beginning of July until the
beginning of August in natural A. alba forest and afforestation field which
is constituted by C. atlantica trees in France. Markalas & Bogenschütz
(1995) reported the flying period to continue from mid June until mid
July. When our work is compared with the other papers, it can be seen
that our results are similar to the results of Markalas & Bogenschütz
(1995) in Greece. According to the results of Du Merle & Brunet (1991)’s
study, which was conducted in France, the flying period starts later than
in Greece and in Turkey.
It was observed that the females deposit their eggs in a double row on
the needles in the middle and upper crowns of fir trees. Also Géraud et al.
(1987), Du Merle & Brunet (1991) and Bucher (1953) reported that
females lay their eggs on the upper shoots of trees.
In our study the larvae started to hatch on June 17 in 2002 and on
June 15 in 2003 in laboratory conditions. Bogenschütz (1997) reported
that the hatching of larvae began at the end of June. When our results are
compared with the results of Bogenschütz (1997), it is obvious that larvae
293
hatched earlier in Yenişarbademli. Pupa duration was between 12-14 days
in our study. Also Bogenschütz (1997) reported this period to continue for
about 14 days. In both studies the results concerning pupa duration are
similar.
In conclusion, it appears that the outbreak of C. murinana on Abies
cilicica forests in Turkey is similar to other outbreaks observed in Europe.
Further work is needed in order to better characterize this apparently
isolated population of the moth.
