“…Adults feed on a variety of substrates, such as leaf debris and billets in the hollow parts of fast-flowing waters (Webster and DeMerchant, 2012). It is known that 11 species are connected to 3 genera from our country (Taşar, 2014a(Taşar, , 2018a. The Elmidae family has 1497 species connected to 147 genera.…”

With the rapidly increasing population of people today, mass production, inexpensive labor, low cost, high market share and economic sufficiency are the first issues that come to mind in poultry farming. The most important cost in the poultry farming sector is production of food. As insects are in the richest group that provides species variations in the feeds for living beings, they are a significant source of feeding poultry animals. In addition to this, it is believed that aquatic insects (Coleoptera) are a source with very high protein contents that is used in poultry husbandry. The levels of edible insect consumption are only known by some people in the world. In feeding hens, hen feeds may be experimentally used by mixing these with other edible insect groups that are easier to obtain. As it is possible to use edible insects as protein sources in human consumption, these may also be utilized in feeding poultry animals that are grown for eggs. Our aim for the future is to develop alternative methods that aim to enrich the quality of meat and eggs from poultry animals and conduct a study that provides statistical analysis results regarding hematological, biochemical and economic data. Moreover, we expected to see whether or not there would be potential health risks related to the consumption of these mixed feeds by laying hens and broilers. Consequently, the purpose of this review study is to provide information about edible aquatic insect species which are more economical and practical.

“…These species are reported to be clean water indicators due to their high sensitivity to pollutants (Braun et al 2014, Taşar, 2018a. The Heteroceridae family is known to have 200 species of 5 genera worldwide (Mascagni, 1995;Taşar, 2014a). Members of this family live in muddy or sandy parts of the aquatic habitats.…”

In this study, the aquatic and semiaquatic Coleoptera species that were collected from Diyarbakır, Mardin and Batman provinces in 2013-2015 years, were evaluated. 44 taxa belong to eight families (Coleoptera: Polyphaga: Dryopidae, Helophoridae, Heteroceridae, Hydrochidae, Hydrophilidae; Adephaga: Gyrinidae, Haliplidae, Noteridae) were detected in the research area. Within these species, 32 taxa were first records for the research area.

A group of aquatic Coleoptera specimens was collected from Güvenç Village in the Kahramankazan region of Ankara. Among these specimens was Dryops rufipes (Krynicki, 1832) (Coleoptera: Dryopidae), which is recorded from the Middle Anatolian Region of Turkey for the first time. The egg morphology of D. rufipes is described based on light and scanning electron microscope micrographs. Copulation and oviposition are described.
