Abstract

Sarcophaga (Latistyla) czernyi Böttcher, 1912 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) is a poorly known Palearctic species, which is here newly recorded from Turkey based on a single male specimen collected from Antalya Province in 2016. The species has an interesting and unique structure of the phallus with large, tubular styli with recurving teeth and a lobate and hook-shaped vesica. This study redescribed of the species with the external and genital morphology documented with photography and the first data on the ultrastructure of male terminalia using SEM. The taxonomic status, synonymy and subgeneric inclusion of the species are discussed.

Nadir bir et sineği türü, Sarcophaga (Latistyla) czernyi Böttcher, 1912 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)’nin erkek terminalyası ultrastrüktürüyle yeniden tanımlanması

Abstract

Sarcophaga (Latistyla) czernyi Böttcher, 1912 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) az bilinen ve Türkiye’de ilk kez kaydedilen Palearktik bir türdür. Bu çalışmanın incelenen materyali, 2016 yılında Antalya ilinden toplanan bir erkek örneğine dayanmaktadır. Tür, halka şeklinde dişlere sahip boru şeklindeki styli ve lob benzeri kanca şeklindeki vesica ile oldukça ilginç ve benzersiz bir aedegal yapıya sahiptir. Bu çalışma, SEM kullanılarak erkek terminalya yapısı hakkındaki ilk verilerle türü yeniden tanımlanmaktadır. Dış ve genital morfolojiler, kameraya monte edilmiş bir stereo mikroskop ile tarif edilmiş ve fotoğraflanmıştır. Türün taksonomik durumu, sinonimi ve altcinse dahil edilmesi de tartışılmıştır.
