Studies on Turkish Hydrophilidae (Coleoptera) IV. Genus Berosus Leach, 1817 with description of a new species: Berosus dentalis sp. n.

Abstract

A check list of Berosus spp. (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) known in Turkey are presented with their distributions in Turkey. 14 species of the genus are determined. Of these, Berosus dentalis sp. n. is described from Middle Anatolia (Kayseri). Descriptions of Berosus (Enoplurus) guttalis and B. (Enoplurus) asiaticus, newly recorded for the Turkish fauna, are reviewed. Figures of some diagnostic characters of these species are provided. The ecology of some species is shortly discussed. Distributional maps of each subgenus in Turkey are presented. A short identification key of Turkish species of the genus is also given.
