Coleoptera Taxonomy and Distribution

Taxonomic studies combining morphological and molecular characters have become increasingly important in recent years for estimating species diversity and evolutionary relationships. The presented study includes the result of the morphological and molecular analyses of Thymelicus Hübner, 1819 (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae…

A taxonomic revision of the Temnothorax bulgaricus species-group from the Aegean Region revealed that it consists of five species. Temnothorax mersinensis sp. nov., from Mersin Province of Türkiye, is described based on the morphological and morphometrical evidence. Temnothorax caucasicus (Arnoldi, 1977) bona species…

Leptobium libycum sp. nov. from north-western Libya is described, illustrated and compared with related congeners. The distribution of the Leptobium species in Libya is mapped. New and additional records of four species and two subspecies, L. artum (Karsch), L. brevicolle (Koch), L. densiventre (Fauvel), L. gracile (G…

We studied the taxonomy of the Pluteus ephebeus complex using morphological and molecular (nrITS, TEF1-α) data and designate a lectotype and an epitype for P. ephebeus and a lectotype for P. murinus. Based on our type studies, P. murinus and P. lepiotoides were recognized as distinct species; while P. pearsonii was fo…

Biyolojik çeşitliliğin tespit edilerek korunması ve sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması, küresel ve bölgesel ölçekte ekosistem dengesinin temelini oluşturur. Türkiye, üç kıta arasında herpetofauna türleri de dahil olmak üzere canlı türlerinin dağılımı açısından hem doğal bir köprü hem de bir bariyer pozisyonundadır (Sind…

Laemostenus (Pristonychus) violeta Fidan & Elverici, sp. nov., from Türkiye is described and illustrated. The new species belongs to the terricola species group of the subgenus Pristonychus. It is readily distinguished from congeners by the unique structure of the aedeagus (slender median lobe and distinct apical shap…

The main objective of this study was to identify the Coleoptera species occurring in the locally and relictly distributed Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) forests in the Andırın district of Kahramanmaraş Province, Türkiye, and to determine their species diversity. A study site was established in the Andırın–Akifiye a…
