Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the Cercopidae Leach, 1815 (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) fauna of the Central and Southern Kuseyr Plateau (Hatay/Turkey). For this purpose, samples were collected with a net, hand and tweezers from the different habitats of the region in April-June 2014-2015. However, in the process of evaluating the samples, it was found that Cercopis sanguinolenta (Scopoli, 1763) and Cercopis intermedia Kirschbaum, 1868 species were frequently confused with each other. This is because two different approaches were adopted that have resulted in a dilemma over the type of C. sanguinolenta before the “Principle of Priority” was established. With this study, not only the current controversy is eliminated, but also redescriptions of Cercopis distincta (Melichar, 1896), C. intermedia and Cercopis septemmaculata (Melichar, 1903) is made with informative images and morphometric data. Among these species, complete locality record has been provided for an uncertain Turkey records of C. septemmaculata and the first local record of C. distincta, which is defined as an endemic species in Turkey but whose terra typica is unknown, was also revealed with this study. New distribution maps of these species are presented with local and worldwide distributional data, and also an identification key is given, including other Cercopis Fabricius, 1775 species that occur in Turkey.

We thank to Dr. Igor Malenovsky who is a curator in Moravian Museum in Brno, where the personal collection of Dr. Leopold Melichar is preserved, for providing the syntype photos of Cercopis septemmaculata to check the diagnosis.

Cercopis sanguinolenta (Scopoli, 1763) (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cercopidae) ikilemi ve Türkiye'den nadir Cercopis Fabricius, 1775 türlerinin yeniden tanımlanması

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Orta ve Güney Kuseyr Platosu'nun (Hatay/Türkiye) Cercopidae Leach, 1815 (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) faunasını belirlemek için yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla 2014-2015 yıllarının Nisan-Haziran aylarında, bölgenin farklı habitatlarından; ağ, el ve pensle örnekler toplanmıştır. Ancak örneklerin değerlendirilmesi sürecinde Cercopis sanguinolenta (Scopoli, 1763) ve Cercopis intermedia Kirschbaum, 1868 türlerinin sıklıkla birbirleriyle karıştırıldığı görülmüştür. Bunun nedeni, “Öncelik İlkesi” tesis edilmeden önce C. sanguinolenta'nın tipi üzerinde bir ikilemle sonuçlanan iki farklı yaklaşımın benimsenmiş olmasıdır. Bu çalışma ile sadece mevcut tartışma ortadan kaldırılmakla kalınmaz, aynı zamanda Cercopis distincta (Melichar, 1896), C. intermedia ve Cercopis septemmaculata (Melichar, 1903) türlerinin, aydınlatıcı görseller ve morfometrik verilerle birlikte yeniden tanımlanmaları yapılmaktadır. Bu türlerden C. septemmaculata'nın kesin olmayan Türkiye kayıtları için tam lokalite kaydı sağlanmış ve ülkemize endemik bir tür olarak tanımlanan ancak terra tipi dahi bilinmeyen C. distincta'nın ilk yerel kaydı da yine bu çalışma ile ortaya konulmuştur. Yerel ve dünya yayılış verileri ile bu türlerin yeni dağılım haritaları sunulmakta ve ayrıca Türkiye'de görülen diğer Cercopis Fabricius, 1775 türlerini de kapsayan bir teşhis anahtarı verilmektedir.
