Abstract

Zoology Collection of İstanbul University has a unique position among other institutional collections found in Turkey. This collection has very oldest insect specimens recorded from Turkey and especially from all around İstanbul. Actually the collection owes this uniqueness to a hobbyist, Bernard Tubini. His personal collection which contains specimens collected from 1920 to 1940 was later donated to the İstanbul University. However this special collection has never been studied, nor documented so far. In this study we aimed to make a checklist of the insect species of İstanbul from the Zoology Collection of İstanbul University and by the way take Tubini collection out into daylight. As a result, beyond seven Orthoptera species, 313 species of Coleoptera were listed from the collection.
