Faunistic and sistematics studies on the family Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) were reviwed occuring in eastern Turkey for over 20 years. In this study, and 41 Tryphoninae species were recorded. So far, totally, 487 species with 186 genera and 20 subfamilies are recognized. With present knowledge, among them, Colpotrochia triclistor (Aubert, 1979), Exochus protuberans Kolarov & Çoruh, 2009 and Coelichneumon nigritor Riedel, Çoruh & Özbek, 2010 are endemic to Anatolia. The species composition, collected biogeographical regions, altitudinal distribution, seasonal dynamics, individual diversity and available host data of species in the region were reviewed.
SummaryFaunistic data of 24 Ichneumoninae species from Anatolia (Turkey), including Erzurum, Giresun, Rize, Trabzon and Ordu (total 78 specimens) are presented. Of them 8 species -Coelichneumon (Coelichneumon) bilineatus (Gmelin), Coelichneumon (Coelichneumon) desinatorius (Thunberg), Cratichneumon sexarmillatus (Kriechbaumer), Cratichneumon versator (Thunberg), Eupalamus wesmaeli (Thomson), Heterischnus excavatus (Constantineanu), Homotherus varipes (Gravenhorst) and Phaeogenes alternans Wesmael are new records for Turkish fauna. Also, among them one species -Heterischnus schachti at now is Turkish endemic. For each species short zoogeographical characterization is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
