A Contribution to the Moth Fauna (Lepidoptera, Heterocera) of Elazığ Province, Turkey

Abstract

This study contributes to the Heterocera fauna of eastern Turkey. The paper presents a faunal list of 208 moth species belonging to 15 families, Arctiidae, Ctenuchidae, Cossidae, Drepanidae, Lasiocampidae, Lemoniidae, Lymantriidae, Notodontidae, Noctuidae, Psychidae, Pyralidae, Sphingidae, Thaumetopoeidae, Thyatiridae and Zygaenidae from Maden district of Elazığ Province. Among these moths, 150 species are recorded for the first time in Elazığ Province.The moth fauna of Turkey is represented by 5158 species in 67 families (Koçak & Kemal, 2018). Information on the Turkish Lepidoptera fauna mostly based on the taxonomic and faunistic investigations. However, significant studies have been conducted in terms of finding out of the Turkish moth fauna. In this respect, examined and evaluated articles on the Heterocera fauna of Turkey and in point of the research region, are as follows: Staudinger .
