The Current Knowledge of Turkey Sphecidae and Mutillidae (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) Fauna

Abstract

In the study which was conducted in Bingöl, Diyarbakır and Muş provinces of Turkey between 2016-2022, 12 species in eight genera from families Sphecidae and Mutillidae were identified. These species are: Ammophila hungarica Mocsary, 1883, Hoplammophila clypeata (Mocsáry, 1883), Podalonia fera (Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1845), Podalonia hirsuta (Scopoli, 1763), Podalonia luffii (E. Saunders, 1903), Sceliphron arabs (Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1845), Sceliphron destillatorium (Illiger, 1807) and Sceliphron madraspatanum tubifex (Latreille, 1809) from family Sphecidae and Dasylabris manderstiernii (Radoszkowski, 1865), Trogaspidia catanensis (Rossi, 1794), Tropidotilla litoralis (Petagna, 1787) and Krombeinella aramaea (Suárez, 1963) from family Mutillidae. Except for Podalonia hirsuta (Scopoli, 1763) and Tropidotilla litoralis (Petagna, 1787) species, all species are new records for the provincial fauna of Bingöl, Diyarbakır and Muş. In addition, new localities have been found for some species, which have already been reported from Turkey. The photographs of identified species are provided.

Türkiye Sphecidae ve Mutillidae (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) Faunası Hakkında Güncel Bilgiler

Öz

Türkiye'nin Bingöl, Diyarbakır ve Muş illerinde 2016-2022 yılları arasında yapılan çalışmada Sphecidae ve Mutillidae familyalarından sekiz cinste 12 tür tespit edilmiştir. Bu türler: Sphecidae familyasından; Ammophila hungarica Mocsary, 1883, Hoplammophila clypeata (Mocsáry, 1883), Podalonia fera (Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1845), Podalonia hirsuta (Scopoli, 1763), Podalonia luffii (E. Saunders, 1903), Sceliphron arabs (Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1845), Sceliphron destillatorium (Illiger, 1807) ve Sceliphron madraspatanum tubifex (Latreille, 1809) ve Mutillidae familyasından ise Dasylabris manderstiernii (Radoszkowski, 1865), Trogaspidia catanensis (Rossi, 1794), Tropidotilla litoralis (Petagna, 1787) ve Krombeinella aramaea (Suárez, 1963)’dır. Bunlardan Podalonia hirsuta (Scopoli, 1763) ve Tropidotilla litoralis (Petagna, 1787) türleri hariç diğer türler Bingöl, Diyarbakır ve Muş il faunası için yeni kayıttır. Ayrıca, Türkiye'den daha önce bildirilmiş olan bazı türler için yeni lokaliteler de bulunmuştur.
