New records for the latridiidae (coleoptera) fauna of Turkey

Abstract

This study, which was carried out using window and pitfall traps, was conducted between April-December in 2012-2014 to identify the species connected to the Latridiidae (Coleoptera) family found in oak and beech areas in Balıkesir. As a result of the study, a total of 22 species belonging to nine genera of the family Latridiidae were determined. Six of these species, Cartodere nodifer (Westwood, 1839), Corticaria longicollis (Zetterstedt, 1838), C. obscura C.N.F Brisout de Barneville, 1863, Corticarina minuta (Fabricius, 1792), Enicmus fungicola (C. G. Thomson, 1868) and Enicmus testaceus (Stephens, 1830) are new records for Turkey. The 13 species whose locality was recorded for the first time from Turkey are Metophthalmus hungaricus Reitter, 1884, E. transversus (Oliver, 1790), Enicmus brevicornis (Mannerheim, 1844), Latridius minutus (Linnaeus, 1767), Corticarina curta (Wollaston, 1854), Cortinicara gibbosa (Herbst, 1793), Melanophthalma rhenana Rücker & Johnson, 2007, M. taurica (Mannerheim, 1844), M. fuscipennis (Mannerheim, 1844), Corticaria serrata (Paykull, 1798), Corticaria elongata (Gyllenhal, 1827), C. pubescens (Gyllenhal, 1827) and Migneauxia crassiuscula (Aubé, 1850). E. rugosus (Herbst, 1793) and M. distinguenda (Comolli, 1837) species are new records for the Marmara Region, while Cartodere apfelbecki (Reitter, 1901) species are new records for the local fauna of Balikesir Province. In addition, the zoogeographic distribution of the recorded species was also evaluated.

Balıkesir İli meşe ve kayın alanlarında bulunan Latridiidae familyasına bağlı türleri saptamak amacıyla pencere ve çukur tuzak kullanılarak yürütülen bu çalışma Nisan-Aralık ayları arasında 2012-2014 yılında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, Latridiidae (Coleoptera) familyasına bağlı dokuz cinse ait toplam 22 tür tespit edilmiştir. Bu türlerden, Cartodere nodifer (Westwood, 1839), Corticaria longicollis (Zetterstedt, 1838), C. obscura C.N.F Brisout de Barneville, 1863, Corticarina minuta (Fabricius, 1792), Enicmus fungicola (C. G. Thomson, 1868) ve E. testaceus (Stephens, 1830) olmak üzere altı tür Türkiye için yeni kayıt niteliğindedir. İlk kez Türkiye’den lokalite kaydı verilen 13 tür ise Metophthalmus hungaricus Reitter, 1884, Enicmus transversus (Oliver, 1790), E. brevicornis (Mannerheim, 1844), Latridius minutus (Linnaeus, 1767), Corticarina curta (Wollaston, 1854), Cortinicara gibbosa (Herbst, 1793), Melanophthalma rhenana Rücker & Johnson, 2007, M. taurica (Mannerheim, 1844), M. fuscipennis (Mannerheim, 1844), Corticaria serrata (Paykull, 1798), C. elongata (Gyllenhal, 1827), C. pubescens (Gyllenhal, 1827) ve Migneauxia crassiuscula (Aubé, 1850)’ dır. E. rugosus (Herbst, 1793) ve M. distinguenda (Comolli, 1837) türleri Marmara Bölgesi, Cartodere apfelbecki (Reitter, 1901) türü ise Balıkesir İli lokal faunası için yeni kayıttır. Ek olarak, kaydedilen türlerin zoocoğrafik dağılışları da değerlendirilmiştir.
