A preliminary study on the investigation of Hemiptera (Pentatomidae, Scutelleridae, Coreidae, Alydidae, Pyrrhocoridae, Lygaeidae, Stenocephalidae, Rhopalidae) fauna in Eskişehir, Türkiye

Abstract

A preliminary study was carried out to determine the species of Hemiptera pests of wheat in Eskişehir province. It was aimed to determine the existing pests in order to develop appropriate control methods with the possible damages that may occur in the region. The study was carried out in 19 different localities determined especially around wheat, barley, lucerne fields and roadsides in Eskişehir. As a result of the study, 26 genera and 41 species belonging to 8 families were identified. Of the species identified; Aelia cognata Fieber, 1868, Aelia virgata (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1841), Aelia acuminata (Linnaeus, 1758), Eurydema blanda Horváth, 1903, Pausias martini (Puton, 1890), Carpocoris mediterraneus Tamanini, 1958, Rhaphigaster nebulosa (Poda, 1761), Ventocoris trigonus (Krynicki, 1871), Ventocoris fischeri (Herrich & Schaeffer, 1851), Ancyrosoma leucogrammes (Gmelin, 1789), Eurygaster dilaticollis Dohrn, 1860, Odontotarsus robustus Jakovlev, 1884, Odontotarsus purpureolineatus (Rossi, 1790), Psacasta tuberculata (Fabricius, 1781), Enoplops disciger (Kolenati, 1845), Psacasta exanthematica (Scopoli, 1763), Coreus marginatus (Linnaeus, 1758), Dicranocephalus albipes (Fabricius, 1781), Centrocoris spiniger (Fabricius, 1781), Lygaeus pandurus (Scopoli, 1763), Lygaeus equestris (Linnaeus, 1758), Brachycarenus tigrinus (Schilling, 1829) and Corizus hyoscyami (Linnaeus, 1758) were reported for the first time from the research area. As a result of this study, the distribution of the Hemiptera pest fauna in the region was determined. Since most of the detected species are phytophagous, the damages that they may cause to plants such as wheat can be estimated with the data obtained.
