Türkiye'den Cryptocephalus turcicus Suffrian, 1847'nin (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cryptocephalinae) aedeagus ve spermatheca ince yapısının SEM kullanılarak araştırılması

Öz

Makale, Türkiye'den bir bitki zararlısının (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cryptocephalinae) Cryptocephalus turcicus Suffrian, 1847'de aedeagus ve spermatecanın SEM tarafından ilk kez gözlemlenen ultrastrüktürlerini sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Cryptocephalus (s.str.) nominatif alt cinsine ait bu türün Ankara, Kastamonu ve Samsun illerinden toplanan türün erkek ve dişi üreme organlarının morfolojileri Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobu (Scanning Electron Microscopy-SEM) kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Bugüne kadar Türkiye'de Cryptocephalus turcicus Suffrian, 1847'nin erkek genital (aedeagus) ve dişi genital (spermatheca) morfolojilerinin birlikte çalışıldığı bu kapsamda bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Cryptocephalus cinsi Türkiye'de 73 tür ile temsil edilmektedir. Aedeagus ve spermatecanın detaylı araştırılması Cryptocephalus cinsinde yeni tanısal karakterler elde etmek için çok önemlidir. Bu nedenle, Cryptocephalus turcicus Suffrian, 1847'nin Türkiye'den aedeagus ve spermatecalarının ultrastrüktürel ve detaylı incelemeleri ilk olarak Cryptocephalus cinsinde yeni tanısal karakterler elde etmek için SEM ve stereo mikroskop ile incelenmiştir. Türlere ait aedeagus ve spermatecanın ultrastrüktürünün incelenmesiyle elde edilen yeni tanısal karakterler, Cryptocephalus cinsindeki türler arasındaki farklar ve önemli karakterler belirlenerek özellikle birbirine benzeyen türlerin ayrımında kullanılacaktır. SEM'deki fotoğraflar ve stereo mikroskoptaki fotoğraflar da metinde verilmiştir.

Investigation of aedeagus and spermatheca ultrastructure of Cryptocephalus turcicus Suffrian, 1847 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cryptocephalinae) from Türkiye by using SEM

Abstract

This paper presents ultrastructures of aedeagus and spermatheca observed for the first time by SEM of a plant pest (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cryptocephalinae) Cryptocephalus turcicus Suffrian, 1847 from Türkiye. In the present study, the morphologies of male and female genitalia of this species belonging to the nominative subgenus Cryptocephalus (s.str.) collected from Ankara, Kastamonu and Samsun provinces are examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). To date, there has not been a study in Türkiye in this context in which male genitalia (aedeagus) and female genitalia (spermatheca) morphologies of the Cryptocephalus turcicus Suffrian, 1847 have been studied together. The genus Cryptocephalus is represented by 73 species in Türkiye. Detailed investigations of aedeagus “and spermatheca are very important to obtain new diagnostic characters in the genus Cryptocephalus. For this reason, ultrastructural and detailed investigations of aedeagus and spermatheca of Cryptocephalus turcicus Suffrian, 1847 from Türkiye were firstly studied with SEM and stereo microscope to obtain new diagnostic characters in the genus Cryptocephalus. The new diagnostic characters obtained by examining the ultrastructure of aedeagus and spermatheca belonging to the species will be used in the distinction of species that are especially similar to each other, by determining the differences and important characters among the species in the genus Cryptocephalus. Photos in SEM, as well as photos in the stereo microscope, are also given in the text.
