Abstract

The study is based on leaf beetle material collected from Elazığ, Erzincan and Tunceli provinces of Turkey during 2018 and 2019. As a result of examined specimens 44 taxa are identified totally. The numbers of taxa according to the provinces are 23 from Elazığ, 15 from Erzincan and 11 from Tunceli. 19 out of 23 species in Elazığ, 12 out of 15
species in Erzincan and all the reported species in Tunceli are new records. Notes regarding some species are provided under the title “remarks”. In addition, the presence of Galeruca spectabilis spectabilis (Faldermann, 1837) in Turkey is confirmed with the exact locality data. The present study aims to contribute Turkish leaf beetle fauna with new locality records.

Abstract

Çalışma, 2018 ve 2019 yıllarında Elazığ, Erzincan ve Tunceli illerinden toplanmış yaprak böceği materyaline dayanmaktadır. İncelen örnekler sonucunda toplam 44 takson tespit edilmiştir. İllere göre tür sayıları Elazığ’dan 23, Erzincan’dan 15 ve Tunceli’den 11’dir. 23 türün 19’u Elazığ için ve 15 türden 12’si Erzincan için yeni kayıt niteliğindedir. Tunceli için rapor edilen türlerin tamamı bu il için yeni kayıttır. Bazı türlere ilişkin önemli notlar “açıklamalar” başlığı altında verilmiştir. Ayrıca, Galeruca spectabilis spectabilis’in (Faldermann, 1837) Türkiye’deki varlığı kesin lokalite verileriyle doğrulanmıştır. Bu çalışma Türkiye yaprak böceği faunasına yeni lokalite kayıtlarıyla katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.
