Faunistic contributions on the subfamily Agathidinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) of Central Black Sea Region of Türkiye

Abstract

This study was conducted between 2003-2004 to investigate the Agathidinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) fauna of the Central Black Sea Region in Türkiye. For this purpose, Agathidinae samples were collected from different altitudes and habitats of Amasya, Çorum, Ordu, Samsun and Tokat provinces in the region. Seventeen species were determined and identified. These were twelve species in the genus Agathis, four species in the genera Bassus and one species in the genera Disophrys were recorded. Although all identified species were recorded before Türkiye, they are new records for the research area. The distributions and detailed locality records of the identified species are given.

Orta Karadeniz Bölgesi (Türkiye) Agathidinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) altfamilyası üzerine faunistik katkılar

Abstract

Bu çalışma Türkiye’nin Orta Karadeniz Bölgesine ait Agathidinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) faunasını ortaya koymak için 2003-2004 yılları arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu amaçla bölgedeki, Amasya, Çorum, Ordu, Samsun ve Tokat illerinin farklı yükseklik ve habitatlarından Agathidinae örnekleri toplanmıştır. Toplam 17 tür belirlenmiş ve tanımlanmıştır. Bunlar, Agathis cinsine ait on iki tür, Bassus cinsine ait dört tür ve Disophrys cinsine ait bir türdür. Tespit edilen tüm türler Türkiye’den daha önce kaydedilmiş olmasına rağmen araştırma bölgesi için yeni kayıt niteliğindedir. Tespit edilen türlerin dağılışları ve detaylı lokalite kayıtları hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir.
