Aphrodes diminuta Ribaut, 1952 (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae): a new record for Turkish leafhoppers

Abstract

Abstract In this study, specimens which belong to genus Aphrodes Curtis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Aphrodinae), collected from Kastamonu provinces between 2016-2018 have been examined. Materials were collected by a sweeping net and a hand aspirator on the plants during daytime. Two species were found distributed in this area; Aphrodes bicinctus (Schrank, 1776), Aphrodes diminuta Ribaut, 1952. A. diminuta is a new record for the Cicadellidae fauna of Türkiye. The distribution of the species both in Türkiye and the world, the photograps of aedeagus and the coordinates of the specimen’s were given. In order to show the differences in aedeagus, photographs and measurements of the Aphrodes makarovi have also been added.

Aphrodes diminuta Ribaut, 1952 (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae): Türkiye Cicadellidae faunası için yeni bir kayıt

Abstract

Bu çalışmada 2016-2018 yılları arasında Kastamonu’dan toplanan Aphrodes (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Aphrodinae) cinsine ait örnekler incelenmiştir. Materyal gün içinde bitkilerin üzerinden atrap ve aspiratör yardımıyla toplanmıştır. Çalışma alanında bu cinse ait 2 tür tespit edilmiştir: Aphrodes bicinctus (Schrank, 1776), Aphrodes diminuta Ribaut, 1952. A. diminuta, Türkiye Cicadellidae faunası için yeni bir kayıttır. Türlerin Türkiye ve Dünya’daki dağılımları, aedeagus fotoğrafları ve örneklerin toplandıkları lokalitelerin koordinatları verilmiştir. Aedegustaki farklılıkları gösterebilmek için Aphrodes makarovi'nin fotoğrafları ve ölçümleri de eklenmiştir.
