New and additional records of the Subfamily Tachyporinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) from Turkey, with observations on agricultural importance of the genus Tachyporus
Abstract
In this study, 25 species of 10 genera belonging to two tribes of Tachyporinae collected in different parts of Turkey between 2005-2010 are listed. Tachyporus formosus A. Matthews, 1838 and Tachyporus lignorum (Linnaeus, 1758) are the first records for the Turkish fauna. Many species were reported for the first time from some regions of Turkey. Among them Tachyporus hypnorum (Fabricius, 1775) and Tachyporus nitidulus (Fabricius, 1781) are found the most common and abundant species. In addition, agricultural importance of these species are discussed.
