Abstract

The study was performed in Saklıkent vicinity (Antalya), located at Beydağları mountain range, during 2005 and 2006. A total of 130 Chrysomelidae species belonging to 35 genera and 9 subfamilies were recorded from various habitats of different altitude, topography and vegetation. Alticinae was the most dominant subfamily among the others representing about 63% of the all species collected. Host plant associations of 76 Chrysomelidae species out of 130 were determined and listed in a table. Fagaceae (11%) and Rosaceae (6%) were the mostly preferred host plant families representing Chrysomelidae species specialized to tree vegetation, while Lamiaceae (20%), Brassicaceae (16%), Scrophulariaceae (7%), Boraginaceae (6%), and Asteraceae (5%) were dominant host plant families for species feeding herbaceous vegetation.
