Taxonomic and biogeographic evaluations of the subfamily Cryptinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)

Abstract

The taxonomic and biogeographic data of specimens belonging to the subfamily Cyrptinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) collected from different regions in Turkey between 1990 and 2018 were studied. An additional 13 samples collected before 1990 were also included. Three tribes, 61 genera and 187 species were identified. Most of samples were collected during last 25 years or recorded in this time from seven different regions of Turkey by researchers. Among the species listed, Agrothereutes tiloidalisKolarov & Beyaslan, 1994, Stilpnus adanaensisKolarov & Beyaslan, 1994 and Aptesis cavigenaKolarov & Gürbüz, 2009 were described from Turkey. Also, these species are endemic to Anatolia. Detailed composition, biogeographic and zoogeographic data, vertical distribution, seasonal dynamics, individual diversity, available host data and plants visited by adults are given.
