CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ZYGAENIDAE (LEPIDOPTERA) OF TÜRKİYE

Abstract

The aim of this study is to contribute to the recent distribution and systematic classification of Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) in 12 provinces in the Aegean, eastern Anatolia, and Thrace regions of Türkiye, with the records obtained from May 2020 to September 2021. Specimens were collected or photographed at 49 out of 132 localities. Twenty Zygaenidae species from five genera belonging to Procridinae and Zygaeninae subfamilies were recorded: Theresimima Strand, 1917 (1 species), Rhagades Wallengren, 1863 (1 species), Adscita Retzius, 1783 (1 species), Jordanita Verity, 1946 (5 species), and Zygaena Fabricius, 1775 (12 species). Zygaena (Zygaena) ephialtes (Linnaeus, 1767) was recorded again nearly 200 years later since after Herrich-Schäffer’s first record in 1845. Zygaena (Mesembrynus) lydia Staudinger, 1887 endemic to Türkiye, was also recorded in this study. In addition, new localities of Zygaena (Agrumenia) armena Eversman, 1851, which is known only in Türkiye and Georgia, were also recorded from the Ardahan province in the eastern Anatolia region of Türkiye.
