Contribution to Neuroptera (Insecta) Fauna of Tokat Province of Turkey

Abstract

In this study, a total of 641 Neuroptera were collected between May and August 2005, in order to determine the Neuroptera fauna of the Tokat province. Collected specimens were determined to belong to 44 species, 24 genera and 6 families, which is 21 percentage of the number of neuropteroids recorded in Turkey. Occurrence of two species (Chrysopa hungarica and Hemerobius (H.) gilvus) previously reported from the area, has not been confirmed during the fieldwork of this study. 41 species are the first records for the Neuroptera fauna of Tokat province. The most abundant and most frequent species living on coniferous trees and deciduous trees were Chrysoperla carnea. Osmylus elegantissimus have here their western distribution in Turkey. Abundance, dominance and frequency for each species are added. Osmylus elegantissimus have here their western distribution in Turkey

Tokat İli Neuroptera (Insecta) Faunasına Katkılar (Türkiye)

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Tokat ili ve çevresinde 2005 yılı Mayıs ve Ağustos ayları arasında Neuroptera Faunasını belirlemek amacıyla 641 örnek toplanmıştır. Toplanan örneklerin teşhisleri sonucunda 6 familyanın 24 cinsine ait 44 tür tespit edilmiştir. Türkiye'de kaydedilen neuropteroids sayısının % 21’idir. Daha önce bölgeden kaydı verilen iki tür (Chrysopa hungarica ve Hemerobius (H.) gilvus) bu çalışmanın arazi çalışmalarında bulunamamıştır. 41 tür Tokat ili Neuroptera faunası için yeni kayıttır. Çalışmada, en bol bulunan Chrysoperla carnea türü hem iğne yapraklı hemde geniş yapraklı ağaçlarda bulunmuştur. Osmylus elegantissimus Türkiye’de en batıdaki yayılışına ulaşmıştır. Her bir türün bolluk ve baskınlık frekanslarıda verilmiştir
