Abstract: The distribution of Vipio Latreille, 1804 species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Braconinae) within eight phytogeographical provinces in Turkey is presented on the basis of field studies during 1980–2004. A total of twelve species were found, and the majority of species were associated with the Subeuxin, Euxin, Xeroeuxin and Mediterranean provinces. Vipio humerator (Costa, 1885), V. longicauda (Boheman, 1853) and V. tentator (Rossi, 1790) were the most common species in Turkey, and V. mlokossewiczi Kokoujev, 1898 is a new record for the Turkish fauna. An identification key is provided for 18 species of Vipio from Turkey and adjacent regions with relevant figures of the wings and metasoma. Key words: Braconidae; Vipio; phytogeography; Turkey

Introduction between 1980 and 2004 (Fig. 1). Sweeping samples of adult wasps were mounted, and samples of host larvae were kept The large number and great ecological diversity of land for parasitoids emergence. All specimens were deposited in arthropods in Turkey make them an excellent subject the collection of the Zoological Museum of Department of for biogeographical studies. However, Demirsoy (1987) Biology, Trakya University. The specimens of Vipio were identified by using the keys of Tobias (1986), Belokobylskij estimated that over half of the insect fauna in Turkey (2000), Telenga (1936) and Fahringer (1928). In this process, are still unknown. Moreover, little information is avail- a general key to Vipio was created specifically for the wasps able with regard to the distribution and abundance of of Turkey and adjacent regions. these species.
