“…They significantly reduce yields or crop value by primary damage of various plant parts, which can subsequently facilitate secondary crop damage by pathogens [5,6]. The genus Agriotes is distributed mainly in the Northern Hemisphere; approximately 150 species are known from the Palaearctic region and 40 from the Nearctic region [7][8][9]. In Europe, nine species are recognized as pests of special agricultural importance, i.e., Agriotes brevis Candèze, 1863, A. lineatus (Linnaeus, 1767), A. litigiosus (Rossi, 1792), A. obscurus (Linnaeus, 1758), A. proximus Schwarz, 1891, A. rufipalpis Brullé, 1832, A. sordidus (Illiger, 1807), A. sputator (Linnaeus, 1758), and A. ustulatus (Schaller, 1783) [4,10].…”

Species of the click-beetle genus Agriotes Eschscholtz are economically important crop pests distributed mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. They can inflict considerable damage on various field crops. Therefore, the detection, monitoring, and control of Agriotes include the adult trapping using species-specific sex pheromones, which is a critical component of pest research. To obtain a better understanding of the detailed antennal morphology as background information for subsequent chemical ecology research, we conducted a scanning electron microscopy study of the antennal sensilla of both sexes in 10 European Agriotes species. We identified 16 different sensilla in Agriotes, belonging to six main types: sensilla chaetica (subtypes C1 and C2), sensilla trichodea, sensilla basiconica (subtypes B1–B9), dome-shaped sensilla (subtypes D1 and D2), sensilla campaniformia, and Böhm sensilla. We discuss their possible functions and compare the sensilla of Agriotes with those of other Elateridae in order to consolidate the sensillum nomenclature in this family. Additionally, our study reveals the remarkable interspecific variability in sensillar equipment of Agriotes and identifies several characters of potential importance for future use in systematic studies. The present study provides a strong preliminary framework for subsequent research on the antennal morphology of this crop pest on a wider scale.

“…According to various authors ( Lawrence 1982 ; Booth et al 1990 ; Lodos 1998 ; Demirsoy 1999 ; Laibner 2000 ), the family Elateridae has 6,000–10,000 described species. In Turkey, there are eight subfamilies, 65 genera, and almost 500 species belonging to Elateridae ( Mertlik and Platia 2008 ; Kabalak and Sert 2009 , 2010a , 2010b, 2011, 2012; Platia and Gudenzi 2009 ; Platia et al 2009 ; Schimmel et al 2009 ; Platia 2008 , 2010a , 2010b, 2011a, 2011b, 2012; Platia et al 2011 : Sert and Kabalak 2011 ; Kabalak et al 2013 ).…”

The main aim of this study was to understand the faunistic composition, ecological properties, and zoogeographical composition of the family Elateridae (Coleoptera) of the Western Black Sea region of Turkey. As a result, 44 species belonging to 5 subfamilies and 19 genera were identified. After adding species reported in the literature to the analysis, the fauna in the research area consists of 6 subfamilies, 23 genera and 72 species. Most of the Elateridae fauna of the Western Black Sea region were classified in the subfamilies Elaterinae and Dendrometrinae. The genus Athous was the most species-rich genus. The species composition of the Elateridae fauna of the Western Black Sea region partially overlaps with the known Elateridae fauna of Turkey. The Western Black Sea region shares the most species with the European part of the Western Palaearctic region, including many of those in the Elateridae family, compared to other regions. Comparisons of the three geographical regions of Turkey show that fauna composition, ecological properties, and zoogeographical compositions of the Middle and Western Black Sea regions are more similar to each other than to those of the Central Anatolian region.
