Abstract

The study was conducted using light traps and pheromone traps between 2021 and 2022 in selected forest nurseries of the Western Black Sea Region of Türkiye. The insect species were morphologically described. Identification of species was made by referring to the relevant literature. The antenna and aedeagus of some species were photographed using a stereo microscope. In total, 3 families, 7 subfamilies, 7 genera and 7 species were identified in this study. These species are Anobium punctatum, Attagenus persicus, Dermestes undulatus, Ptinus (Bruchoptinus) sp., Sinoxylon sexdentatum, Trogoderma inclusum, and Xestobium rufovillosum. At the end of the study, 2 insect species were identified as new records for the region.
