Abstract

Bu
çalışmada, Korsika ve Pireneler'deki yüksek dağlarda yer alan glasiyal
rheokrenler ve akarsulardan toplanmış materyal incelenmiş ve Rheocricotopus cinsine
ait iki yeni tür (R. costai sp. n. and R.
pyrenaeus
 sp. n.) tanımlanmıştır.
Rheocricotopus costai sp. n. erkek birey ve pupal kılıf ile
tanımlanırken R. pyrenaeus sp.
n. yetişkin erkek ve dişi bireyler ve pupal kılıf ile tanımlanmıştır. 
Rheocricotopus costai sp. n. hem Batı Korsika'dan
hem de Pireneler’in doğusundan elde edilirken R. pyrenaeus sp. n.'nın
coğrafik dağılımı Doğu Pirenler’de bir koruma alanı olan Mantet doğa koruma
alanı ile sınırlıdır. Hem R. costai sp. n. hem de R.
pyrenaeus 
sp. n. larvaları yüksek rakımlardaki lotik habitatlarda
sınırlı olduklarından reofilik özelliktedirler. 
Rheocricotopus costai sp. n., pupal kılıfın 3.
tergiti üzerinde medyan alanda yer alan küçük dairesel spinül yamasına ek
olarak yetişkin erkeklerdeki çeşitli spesifik karakterleri ile effusus-grubu
içinde yer almaktadır.
Rheocricotopus pyrenaeus sp. n. ise özellikle distalde içe doğru dönük olan
superior volsellanın olağan olmayan şekli bakımından Finlandiya, Norveç ve Uzak
Doğu Rusyası'ndan bilinen R. reduncus Sæther & Schnell, 1988
ile Uzak Doğu Rusyası'ndan bilinen R. tchernovskii Makarchenko
& Makarchenko, 2005'e benzemektedir. Rheocricotopus cinsi Fransa'da 10, Korsika'da ise 8 tür ile
temsil edilmekteydi (Moubayed-Breil 2016). Sonuç olarak, R. costai sp.
n. and R. pyrenaeus sp. n.'nın tanımlanması ile cinsin
Fransa'daki tür sayısı 12'ye, Korsika'daki tür sayısı ile 9'a çıkmıştır. İki
yeni türün ekolojileri ve coğrafik dağılımları ile ilgili taksonomik notlar,
görüşler ve değerlendirmeler verilmiştir.

Abstract

Two
new species of the genus
Rheocricotopus subgenus Rheocricotopus (R. costai sp. n. and R. pyrenaeus sp. n.) are diagnosed and
described, based on material collected in some glacial rheocrenes and streams
located in the high mountains of Corsica and the Eastern Pyrenees. Rheocricotopus costai sp. n. is
described as male and pupal exuviae, while R. pyrenaeus sp. n. is
described as male and female adults and pupal exuviae. Rheocricotopus costai sp.
n. is known from both western Corsica and the Eastern Pyrenees, while the
geographical distribution of R. pyrenaeus
sp. n. is restricted to the protected area of the Mantet Nature Reserve
(Eastern Pyrenees). Larvae of both R.
costai sp. n. and R. pyrenaeus sp. n. are exclusively
rheophilic being confined to lotic habitats located at high altitude (crenal
and rhithral). Apart from the presence of an additional median circular small
patch of spinules on tergite III of the exuviae, R. costai sp. n. directly
keys into the effusus-group on the
basis of several specific characters found in the male adult. Nevertheless, R. pyrenaeus sp. n. keys near both of R. reduncus Sæther & Schnell, 1988
(known from Finland, Norway and Russian Far East) and R. tchernovskii Makarchenko & Makarchenko, 2005 (known from
Russian Far East), based in particular, on the unusual shape of the superior
volsella which is inwardly markedly turned over distally. The genus Rheocricotopus is currently represented by 10 species in continental France and by 8
species in Corsica (Moubayed-Breil 2016). Consequently, the description of R. costai
sp. n. and R. pyrenaeus sp. n.
increases the total number in the genus to 12 for continental France and to 9
for Corsica. Taxonomic remarks, discussion and comments on the ecology and
geographical distribution of the two new species are given.
