FIRST LARVAL RECORD OF Lipiniella moderata Kalugina, 1970 IN TURKISH INLAND WATERS

Abstract

In this study, Lipiniella moderata Kalugina, 1970 (Diptera, Chironomidae) is reported for the first time in larval form from the part of Tunca River in Edirne, Turkey. The larvae were collected from three different sampling stations along the river. One of the stations was selected in the river segment passing next to Edirne city center and the other two stations were selected in Suakacağı and Değirmenyeni villages located to the north of city center. A total of 145 L. moderata from the stations were sampled from June to October 2012. The highest number of larvae (n=89) were determined in the station in Edirne city center in August. Some morphological characters of the larvae and the sampling habitat characteristics are given, and they are discussed in terms of the biogeographical distribution of the species.

FIRST LARVAL RECORD OF Lipiniella moderata Kalugina, 1970 IN TURKISH INLAND WATERS

Öz

Bu çalışmada Lipiniella moderata Kalugina, 1970 (Diptera, Chironomidae) Tunca Nehri (Edirne, Türkiye)’nden ilk kayıt olarak bildirilmiştir. Larvalar nehir boyunca üç farklı örnekleme istasyonundan toplanmıştır. İstasyonlardan bir tanesi nehrin Edirne şehir merkezi yanından geçen bölümünden, diğer iki istasyon ise şehir merkezinin kuzeyinde yer alan Suakacağı ve Değirmenyeni Köyleri’nden seçilmiştir. İstasyonlardan Haziran – Ekim 2012 döneminde toplam 145 adet L. moderata larvası örneklenmiştir. En fazla larva (n=89), Ağustos ayında Edirne il merkezindeki istasyonda tespit edilmiştir. Larvaların bazı morfolojik ve habitat özellikleri verilmiş ve biyocoğrafik dağılım yönünden tartışılmıştır.
