Thrips species associated with cereals of the Lakes Region of Turkey with new records

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the Thysanoptera species in the cereal production areas in the Lakes Region of Turkey, in 2016 and 2017. Thrips samples were collected at two different periods of cereal crops, before and after the spike stage. Destructive sampling and strike methods were used to obtain thrips species. The individuals were mounted on slides with Canada balsam for morphological characterisation. As a result of this study, a total of 51 species were identified including 9 species belonging to Tubulifera and 42 species belonging to Terebrantia. The most abundant species were Haplothrips tritici (Kurdjumov 1912) (58.25%), Collembolothrips mediterraneus Priesner 1935 (8.29%), Thrips angusticeps Uzel 1895 (6.61%), and Limothrips cerealium Haliday 1836 (4.31%). The most common species were H. tritici, T. angusticeps, L. cerealium, Aeolothrips intermedius Bagnall, 1934 and Aptinothrips stylifer Trybom, 1894. Three species were first recorded for Turkish fauna: Tylothrips osborni (Hinds), Mycterothrips sanubari Alavi Modarres Awal Fekrat & Minaei and Tenothrips hispanicus (Bagnall).
