Abstract

Promachus leoninus Loew 1848'un çok uzun zamandan beri Anadolu'nun sadece batısında yayılış gösterdiği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, yeni ve eski yerleşim haritası ile bu türün yayılışları hakkında ek bilgi verilmektedir. Elde edilen yeni popülasyonlar COI ve NADH2 gen bölgeleri ile birlikte filogenetik olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda yeni populasyonların birbirinden farklılaşmakta olan 3 populasyon şeklinde gruplandığı görülmüştür. Erkek bireyin genital özellikleri ve habitusu fotoğraflanmıştır.

Assessment the Promachus leoninus Loew 1848 (Diptera: Asilidae) Species, with COI and NADH2 Gene Regions, with New Locality Records in Anatolia

Abstract

Promachus leoninus Loew 1848 is known to be distributed just in the western part of Anatolia for a very long time. In the present study additional information is given about the distribution of this species with a new and previous localities map. Assessment of new populations evaluated phylogenetically with the COI and NADH2 gene regions. As a result of this analysis the new populations are grouped into 3 different diverging populations. Genital features and habitus of the male specimen are photographed
