CONTRIBUTIONS TO APHIDIINAE (HYMENOPTERA: BRACONIDAE) FAUNA OF TURKEY WITH NEW RECORDS

Abstract

Samples were collected from eight different habitats by using either a sweeping-net and Malesian trap in Edirne province of European Turkey in the Spring, Summer and Autumn of 2014. A total of six genera and 27 species have been identified. Of these, nine species (Aphidius eadyi Starý, Gonzales & Hall, 1980, A. rosae Haliday, 1834, A. picipes (Nees, 1811), Binodoxys acalephae (Haliday, 1833), Ephedrus persicae Frogatt, 1904, Lysiphlebus confusus Tremblay & Eady, 1978, Praon abjectum (Haliday, 1833), P. pubescens Starý, 1961, P. yomenae Takada, 1968) are new records for the Edirne Aphidiinae fauna and seven of them (Aphidius smithii Sharma & Subba Rao, 1959, A. microlophii Pennachio & Tremblay, 1987, Lysiphlebus fritzmuelleri Mackauer, 1960, Praon athenaeum Kavallieratos & Lykouressis, 2000, P. flavinode (Haliday, 1833), P. nonveilleri Tomanović & Kavallieratos, 2003, P. uroleucon Tomanović & Kavallieratos, 2003) are new records for Turkish Aphidiinae fauna.

Abstract

Edirne ili Aphidiinae faunasını tespit etmeye yönelik 2014 yılı ilkbahar, yaz ve sonbahar mevsimleri içinde yapılan bu çalışmada örnekler atrap ve Malezya tuzakları kullanılarak sekiz farklı habitattan toplanmıştır. Aphidiinae altfamilyasına ait 6 cins ve 27 tür saptanmıştır. Tespit edilen türlerin 9’u (Aphidius eadyi Starý, Gonzales & Hall, 1980, A. rosae Haliday, 1834, A. picipes (Nees, 1811), Binodoxys acalephae (Haliday, 1833), Ephedrus persicae Frogatt, 1904, Lysiphlebus confusus Tremblay & Eady, 1978, Praon abjectum (Haliday, 1833), P. pubescens Starý, 1961, P. yomenae Takada, 1968) Edirne Aphidiinae faunası için, 7’si (Aphidius smithii Sharma & Subba Rao, 1959, A. microlophii Pennachio & Tremblay, 1987, Lysiphlebus fritzmuelleri Mackauer, 1960, Praon athenaeum Kavallieratos & Lykouressis, 2000, P. flavinode (Haliday, 1833), P. nonveilleri Tomanović & Kavallieratos, 2003, P. uroleucon Tomanović & Kavallieratos, 2003) Türkiye Aphidiinae faunası için yeni kayıttır.
