Six New Heteroptera (Hemiptera) Species for the Fauna of Turkey with a New Synonymy (original) (raw)

Further contribution to the Heteroptera (Hemiptera) fauna of Turkey with a new synonymy

A total of 11 new Heteroptera species are recorded from Turkey for the first time: Amphiareus constrictus (Stål, 1860), Anthocoris simulans (Reuter, 1884), Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855), Engistus exsanguis (Stål, 1872), Campylomma unicolor Poppius, 1914, Campylomma vendicarinum Carapezza, 1991, Capsodes gothicus (Linnaeus, 1758), Leucodellus zagdani (Putshkov, 1970), Phytocoris scitulus scitulus Reuter, 1908, Psallus cruentatus (Mulsant and Rey, 1852) and Solenoxyphus punctipennis (Reuter, 1879). Additionally, Phytocoris (Phytocoris) malickyi Rieger, 1995 is synonymized with Phytocoris (Exophytocoris) parvuloides Wagner, 1961; Phytocoris (Exophytocoris) parvuloides = Phytocoris (Phytocoris) malickyi Rieger, 1995 syn. nov.

Çerçi, B., Koçak, Ö. & Tezcan, S., 2024. Review of the Heteroptera (Hemiptera) fauna of Turkey: perspectives for future research.

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2024

Research on the Heteroptera fauna of Turkey has not been extensive enough to illustrate its true diversity. Although several factors contribute to this, the lack of an up-to-date and comprehensive review is a basic factor. To address this issue, we compiled a list of all the Heteroptera species recorded from Turkey in the literature and iNaturalist. In addition, we re-examined several specimens preserved in the Lodos Entomological Museum, İzmir, Turkey (LEMT). Consequently, we excluded 24 species from the checklist of Heteroptera fauna of Turkey, and proposed a new synonymy: Psallus (Psallus) pardalis Seidenstücker, 1966 = Psallus (Psallus) oenderi Wagner, 1976 syn. nov. Furthermore, we recorded following six species from Turkey for the first time: Blissus hirtulus Burmeister, 1835 (Blissidae), Loricula (Loricula) pselaphiformis Curtis, 1833 (Microphysidae), Globiceps (Globiceps) coryli V.G. Putshkov, 1970, Heterocordylus (Heterocordylus) cytisi Josifov, 1958, Mesopsallus fagi (Drapolyuk, 1990) and Psallus (Psallus) helenae Josifov, 1969 (Miridae); and described following six species as new for science: Orthonotus efei Çerçi & Koçak sp. nov., Orthotylus (Parapachylops) oenderi Çerçi, Tezcan & Koçak sp. nov., Orthotylus (Pinocapsus) girayi Çerçi & Tezcan sp. nov., Psallus (Psallus) eceae Çerçi & Koçak sp. nov., Psallus (Psallus) pehlivani Çerçi & Tezcan sp. nov. and Ribautocapsus tezcani Çerçi sp. nov. Altogether, 1668 species of Heteroptera have been recorded from Turkey (664 species in the European part and 1633 species in the Anatolian part) until now, out of them, the presence of 37 species needs confirmation. We determined the chorotypical composition of species as follows: Mediterranean (399 spp., 23.9%), European (380 spp., 22.8%), Local (280 spp., 16.8%), Widespread (182 spp., 10.9%), Endemic (128 spp., 7.7%), Turanian (127 spp., 7.5%), Turano-Mediterranean (89 spp., 5.3%), Europeo-Mediterranean (68 spp., 4.1%) and Alien (12 spp., 0.7%). We showed that provinces in the Eastern Anatolian, Southeastern Anatolian, and Black Sea regions had lower numbers of species recorded, compared to the provinces in the remaining regions. Finally, we underlined that 109 species, absent from Turkey, were recorded from three or more neighboring countries of Turkey. In summary, our findings emphasize that despite the abundant research devoted over the last 150 years to the Heteroptera fauna of Turkey, our understanding of it remains incomplete in the majority, if not in all, of the regions. Our findings strongly encourage further research, particularly in regions with small numbers of recorded species. This endeavor will undoubtedly lead to numerous novel discoveries and provide a better understanding of the true Heteroptera diversity in Turkey.

Contribution to the knowledge of Heteroptera (Hemiptera) fauna of Turkey

This study is based on material of the suborder Heteroptera collected and photographed from different provinces of Turkey between 2011 and 2015. In this study, 15 species belonging to 9 families are recorded from various provinces of Turkey. All of the species listed include remarks on their known distribution either in Turkey or in worldwide. Among them 12 species are new for the Heteroptera fauna of Turkey. In addition it is found out that Pasira marinadolina Putshkov & Moulet, 2003 could also have bicolored connexivum.

A new record of a genus (Hoplomachus Fieber, 1858) and species (Hoplomachus thunbergii (Fallen, 1807) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Phylinae) from Turkey

TURKISH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, 2017

The subfamily Phylinae characteristics are straight, hairlike parempodia between the claws, pulvilli being present, male genitalia with rigid ductusseminis, and distinctive left clasper. Hoplomachus is a genus from Phylinae with body elongate-oval, gray species with simple, black pubescence; head oblique; pronotum trapeziform, lateral margin sangulate; pubescence black, erect with black spots at bases; hemelytra shiny; pubescence as on pronotum; tibiae spotted with black (Kelton, 1980). Phoenicocapsus Reuter, 1876, which does not differ significantly from Hoplomachus Fieber, 1858 and has the same type of male and female genitalia, should be considered a synonym of the latter (Matocq and Pagola-Carte, 2008). Turkey is biogeographically one of the most interesting countries in the western Palaearctic region. Some faunistic studies have been conducted on this family in Turkey. However, there have been no faunistic and systematic studies on Miridae in the research area. Erzurum Province and its districts have various biotopes and climatic conditions. At the end of this study, the fauna of this region was detailed considerably, and many species were added to the present Miridae fauna
