Abstract: This study was conducted in the Bayburt, Erzincan, and Erzurum provinces of Turkey during 2009 and 2010. A total of 10 species in 6 genera from the subfamilies Miltogramminae (4 species in 2 genera) and Paramacronychiinae (6 species in 4 genera) were determined. The genera Angiometopa Brauer and Bergenstamm, 1889 and Rondani, 1856 and the species Angiometopa falleni Pape, 1986, Brachicoma devia (Fallén, 1820), Macronychia polyodon (Meigen, 1824), and M. striginervis (Zetterstedt, 1838) are recorded for the first time from Turkey. Photographs or illustrations of the new records are provided.

1. Introduction immatures (mainly prepupae) of bumble bees, predators Species of the subfamily Miltogramminae (Diptera: of grasshopper egg pods, and parasitoids of grasshoppers Sarcophagidae) are generally small to medium-sized with and snails. Rondani, 1856 and large eyes, broad lower calypteres, and an oval or slightly Brauer and Bergenstamm, 1889 contain scavengers, tapering abdomen. Morphology of the terminalia is rather predators, and some species that produce myiasis uniform. Sexual dimorphism is often present. It usually in mammals. Species of Wohlfahrtia have even been used involves differences in color pattern, males having a denser, in the treatment of human wounds (Pape, 1996; Pape et brighter, and more contrasting microtomentum, and in al., 2012). the chaetotaxy of the fore tarsus, which is equipped with To date, 12 species of Miltogramminae and 8 species specialized setae in the males of many species (Pape, 1996; of Paramacronychiinae had been reported from Turkey Pape et al., 2012). The male terminalia are fairly simple (Pape, 1996; Kara and Pape, 2002; Hayat et al., 2008; Pekbey and generally species specific (Pape and Szpila, 2012). and Hayat, 2010). The aim of this study is to contribute Terminalia consist of 3 distinct dorsal segments (tergite new records and distributional data to the fauna of Turkish 6, syntergosternite 7 + 8, epandrium), and the aedeagus flesh . has an undivided dorsal plate, the dorsolateral processes being fused along the median line (Pape, 1987). The large 2. Materials and methods majority are kleptoparasites in the nests of solitary aculeate The specimens were collected using insect sweep nets in Hymenoptera (Szpila and Pape, 2007). Bayburt, Erzincan, and Erzurum provinces in Turkey in The subfamily Paramacronychiinae generally contains 2009–2010. All material was obtained by the first author medium-sized species although they range from small (G. Pekbey). The material has been deposited in the to large. Most species are densely covered with grayish Entomology Museum, Erzurum, Turkey (EMET). Species or light brown microtomentum with a more or less identifications were verified by Mr René Richet (Jaligny- distinct abdominal pattern consisting of a median stripe sur-Besbre, France). and dark lateral spots. In the male terminalia, tergite 6 is Most females and some males were identified (by R fused to syntergosternite 7 + 8, the surstyli are fused to Richet, France) without dissection. The other specimens the epandrium, and the acrophallus is long and curved were dissected for examination, and abdomens were (Pape, 1996; Pape et al., 2012). The biology ranges from removed and placed in a cold 10% KOH solution for lepidopteran predators or parasitoids to predators on 18–24 h. Then the important terminalia parts showing * A partial summary of Gamze Pekbey’s PhD thesis (Atatürk University, Institute of Science, Department of Plant Protection) ** Correspondence: [email protected] 514 PEKBEY and HAYAT / Turk J Zool taxonomic characters of the species were removed from the abdomen. Digital photographs were captured on a Leica DFC290 camera mounted on a Leica MZ16A stereo zoom microscope, using the Leica application suite (version 2.7.0). Illustrations were done using CorelDRAW graphics software (version 12.0). The classification and terminology used by Pape (1987, 1996) and Richet et al. (2011) were followed in this paper. The distributions of the species are taken from Pape (1996) and Pape and Beuk (2011). Wohlfahrtia meigenii (Schiner, 1862) was distinguished from W. vigil (Walker, 1894) by Verves (1986), whose distribution and classification we follow here for this species. The following abbreviations are used in the figures: GT1 (genital tergite 1), ST6–ST8 (abdominal sternites 6–8).
