In this study, 25 species of 10 genera belonging to two tribes of Tachyporinae collected in different parts of Turkey between 2005-2010 are listed. Tachyporus formosus A. Matthews, 1838 and Tachyporus lignorum (Linnaeus, 1758) are the first records for the Turkish fauna. Many species were reported for the first time from some regions of Turkey. Among them Tachyporus hypnorum (Fabricius, 1775) and Tachyporus nitidulus (Fabricius, 1781) are found the most common and abundant species. In addition, agricultural importance of these species are discussed.

Türkiye’den Tachyporinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) altfamilyasına ait yeni ve ek kayıtlar ile Tachyporus cinsinin tarımsal önemi üzerine gözlemler

Öz

Bu çalışmada Türkiye’nin farklı yerlerinden 2005-2010 yılları arasından toplanan iki tribus içinde yer alan, 10 cinse bağlı 25 Tachyporinae türü değerlendirilmiştir. Bunlardan Tachyporus formosus A. Matthews, 1838 ve Tachyporus lignorum (Linnaeus, 1758) türleri Türkiye’den ilk defa bildirilmiştir. Birçok tür de Türkiye’nin bazı bölgelerinden ilk kez rapor edilmiştir. Bunlardan Tachyporus hypnorum (Fabricius, 1775) ve Tachyporus nitidulus (Fabricius, 1781) türleri en yaygın ve bol olarak bulunmuştur. Ek olarak bu türlerin tarımsal önemleri tartışılmıştır.
