Abstract

Türkiye’de Trichoptera larvaları üzerindeki sistematik çalışmalar çok sınırlıdır ve özellikle endemik türlerin larva evresi bilinmemektedir. Çalışma Araç Çayı'nda 2013 yılı Nisan-Ekim ayları arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir ve Araç Çayı’nın Trichoptera faunasını belirleyen ilk çalışmadır. Sekiz farklı familyadan (Brachycentridae, Hydropsychidae, Hydroptilidae, Lepidostomatidae, Leptoceridae, Limnephilidae, Psychomyiidae ve Rhyacophilidae) 9 cinse ait 14 Trichoptera taksonu belirlenmiştir. Bu taksonlardan dördü daha önce Araç Çayı’ndan kaydedilmiş, diğer 10 takson ise Araç Çayı için yeni kayıttır. Buna ek olarak, Micrasema cinereum Mosely ise Türkiye Trichoptera faunası için ilk kayıttır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, Türkiye'deki Trichoptera takson sayısı yeni bir kayıtla birlikte 501 olmuştur.

FIRST RECORD OF Micrasema cinereum Mosely (TRICHOPTERA, BRACHYCENTRIDAE) IN TURKEY AND A LIST OF THE CADDISFLY FAUNA IN ARAÇ CREEK

Abstract

Systematic studies on Trichoptera larvae in Turkey are very limited. The larval stage of the endemic species remains especially unknown. This study was carried out in Araç Creek between April and October 2013 and it is the first study to determine the caddisfly fauna in Araç Creek. Fourteen caddisflies taxa belonging to nine genera within eight different families (Brachycentridae, Hydropsychidae, Hydroptilidae, Lepidostomatidae, Leptoceridae, Limnephilidae, Psychomyiidae and Rhyacophilidae) were identified. Four of these taxa have previously been recorded from the creek and the other ten taxa are new records for the study area while Micrasema cinereum Mosely is the first record for the Trichoptera fauna of Turkey. As a result of the study, the number of caddisfly taxa in Turkey is now 501, with the addition of M. cinereum.
