A survey of Turkish Glyptomorpha (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Braconinae) fauna with redescription of G. baetica from a new host

Abstract

Glyptomorpha baetica, G. discolor, G. gracilis, G. kasparyani, and G. pectoralis are recorded from Turkey. Glyptomorhpa baetica is new to the Turkish fauna. It was reared from a new host Sesamia nonagrioides (Noctuidae, Lepidoptera) and was redescribed. Its diagnostic characters are illustrated. An identification key is provided for nine species of Glyptomorpha of Turkey and adjacent regions. Distribution of each species is added.

Study of the genus Bracon Fabricius, 1804 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) of Southern Iran with description of a new species

“…Among the countries bordering Iran, our knowledge of Braconinae of Turkey has gradually increased in recent years. To date, 189 species from Braconinae and about 107 species of Bracon have been recorded in Turkey (Beyarslan 2002a(Beyarslan , 2002b(Beyarslan , 2009(Beyarslan , 2010(Beyarslan , 2011, 2011Beyarslan et al 2005Beyarslan et al , 2006Beyarslan et al , 2009Beyarslan & Fischer 1990;Beyarslan & Tobias 2008;Bolu et al 2009).…”

New records of Cheloninae (Förster, 1862) and Braconinae (Nees, 1811) (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Iran

“…Occurrence of Glyptomorpha nachitshevanica is the second species record of the genus Glyptomorpha (Holmgren, 1868) for Iran. The first species, Glyptomorpha pectoralis (Brullé, 1832) together with some other species of the genus are widely encountered throughout central and southwestern Asia till Far East or rarely in adjacent territories of Europe (Tobias 1976(Tobias , 1986Beyarslan et al 2006;Papp 2009). However, most species of Glyptomorpha are generally distributed in the tropics and/or subtropics.…”

Bracon (Glabrobracon) jenoi sp. n. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Braconinae) from Turkey

“…Braconinae fauna of Turkey and also of the genus Bracon F., 1804 is very sparsely investigated. Until now only about 150 species from Braconinae were recorded among which 120 species belong to the Bracon genus (Beyarslan 1988(Beyarslan , 1991(Beyarslan , 1992(Beyarslan , 1996(Beyarslan , 2002aBeyarslan et al 2002Beyarslan et al , 2005Beyarslan et al , 2006aBeyarslan et al , b, c, 2008Beyarslan & Tobias, 2008). The genus in Central Anatolia is represented with 86 species constituting about 71% of the known species.…”
