Aquatic Coleoptera fauna of Ramsar site Sultan Sazliği (Kayseri, Turkey) and its surroundings: New distribution records of four species from the southern limit of its range

Abstract

Aquatic Coleoptera fauna of the Ramsar site Sultan Sazl??? (Kayseri, Turkey) was investigated between May and October 2009. A total of 87 species were determined. Their distributions in Turkey are presented. Worldwide distributions of four newly-recorded species (Agabus lineatus Gebler, 1848, Helophorus pumilio Erichson, 1837, Helophorus redtenbacheri Kuwert, 1885 and Cercyon tristis (Illiger, 1801)) from Turkey are also given. It was established that Turkey is the southernmost limit of distribution of all the newly recorded species from Turkey.

“…And only two species have known from Specheidae in Turkey (Darılmaz & Kıyak, 2009a;Topkara & Ustaoğlu, 2014). In the last eight years, 28 species from Dytiscidae and one from Haliplidae were recorded (Aykut & Fery, 2017;Bergsten, Weingartner, & Hájek, 2017;Darilmaz & Kiyak, 2009bFery, 2009;Fery & Erman, 2009;Fery & Hendrich, 2011a, 2011bFery & Przewozny, 2011;Hajek & Fikacek, 2010;Hájek, Stastny, Boukal & Fery, 2011;Hernando, Aguilera, Castro & Ribera, 2012;İncekara, Polat, Darilmaz, Mart & Taşar, 2010;Taşar et. al., 2012;Vorst & Fey, 2014) In the present study two new species were added for Dytiscidae in Turkish fauna.…”

“…Although Hydrophilidae and Helophoridae represent two important aquatic groups of Hydrophiloidea, they are poorly studied in Turkey. Some faunistic studies have been performed mainly in the Eastern, Black Sea, Central Anatolia, Marmara and inner Western parts of Turkey (Kıyak, Canbulat, Salur, & Darılmaz, 2006;Ertorun & Tanatmış, 2009;İncekara, Darılmaz, Mart, Polat, & Karaca, 2009;İncekara, Polat, Darılmaz, Mart, & Taşar, 2010;Mart et al, 2010;Topkara and Balık, 2010;Taşar et al, 2012;Mart, Tolan, Caf & Koyun, 2014).…”
