Abstract

T he main aim of this study is to determining Meloidae fauna of Ankara. 3301 specimens were collected. 43 species belon - ging to 2 subfamilies and 15 genera were identified. The genus Mylabris Fabricius, 1775 is the most species-rich genus with 10 species. Cerocoma (s.str.) bernhaueri Pardo Alcaide, 1977, Alosimus luteus (Waltl, 1838), Teratolytta monticola Bo- logna, 2006, Hycleus polymorphus (Pallas, 1771), H. sexmaculatus (A.G. Olivier, 1811), Mylabris (Micrabris) unicolor Falder- mann, 1837, Meloe (Eurymeloe) mediterraneus (G. Muller, 1925) and Stenoria (s.str.) apicalis (Latreille, 1804) species were recorded from Central Anatolian Region of Turkey for the first time. Detailed locality records of M. (Micrabris) unicolor and S. (s.str.) apicalis in Turkey were given with this study for the first time. The most western distributions of Alosimus luteus and Teratolytta monticola were given with this study.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Ankara’nın Meloidae faunasını belirlemektir. 3301 örnek toplanmıştır. 2 altfamilya ve 15 cinse ait toplam 43 tür tespit edilmiştir. Mylabris Fabricius cinsi, 1775, 10 türle tür sayısı açısından en zengin cinstir. Cerocoma (s.str.) bernhaueri Pardo Alcaide, 1977, Alosimus luteus (Waltl, 1838), Teratolytta monticola Bologna, 2006, Hycleus poly- morphus (Pallas, 1771), H. sexmaculatus (AG Olivier, 1811), Mylabris (Micrabris) unicolor Faldermann, 1837, Meloe (Euryme- loe) mediterraneus (G. Muller, 1925) ve Stenoria (s.str.) apicalis (Latreille, 1804) türleri ilk defa bu çalışma ile Türkiye’nin İç Anadolu Bölgesi’nden kayıt edilmiştir. M. (Micrabris) unicolor ve S. (s.str.) apicalis’in bu çalışma ile Türkiye için ilk defa detaylı lokalite kaydı verilmiştir. Alosimus luteus ve Teratolytta monticola türlerinin en batı kaydı bu çalışma ile verilmiştir.
