Third contribution to the knowledge of the Symphyta (Hymenoptera) from Turkey

Abstract

The present paper is the third part of the faunistic investigation of the Anatolian sawfly fauna. The so far recorded 58 species is extended to 64 species. Tenthredo (Tenthredo) brevivertex turkestanica Forsius, 1930 is new species to the Turkish fauna.

New data on Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) fauna of Turkey

“…In spite of intensive 6 years collection (2016-2021) only 15 species were captured. It means: although Braconidae is the second largest parasitoid family generally, the high species richness of braconid wasps is not true for the Anatolian region, where their species richness is far behind even the smallest suborder, Symphyta (Kaplan et al 2018, Kaplan and Haris 2021and 2022. The dominant species is Hormius moniliatus (Nees, 1811) with 16 collected exemplars makes 44% of the total collected material.…”
