This study is based on Scarabaeidae species collected from Artvin during the years of 2008-2013. The were collected directly by forceps from fresh dung and then transferred into the small plastic container and subsequently into the laboratory for species identifi cation as well as infectivity to the helminthes. net and light trap were used in collecting . The specimens were killed by using killing jar and pinned according to taxonomic rules and regulations. The samples were processed with standard methods and added to the collection. Totally, 35 species of Scarabaeidae are fi rstly recorded in the research area and also 11 of them are new for Artvin Province of Eastern Black Sea Region part of Turkey. For each species, the Worldwide and Turkey distributions are given. This is the fi rst study of Scarabaeidae species occuring in Artvin. Cetonia aeruginosa, Protaetia (Netocia) ungarica anatolia, Coprimorphus (Aphodius) scrutator, Euheptaulacus sus, Melolontha melolontha, Anoxia orientalis, solstitiale, Palaeonthophagus fracticornis, Palaeonthophagus similis, Sisyphus schaefferi, Oryctes nasicornis were new records for Artvin Province and its surroundings. Among those, the most abundant species are the members of Scarabaeidae with 98 specimens (28 %) of four species. Including the recorded species, the main four species were with the following numbers as percentage of the total catch: Cetonia aurata (% 9.8), Colobopterus erraticus (% 7.2), Emoniticellus fulvus (6.9) and Colobopterus brignoli (% 5.7). The most abundant species is Cetonia aurata with 29 specimens and this species was found in Artvin. In this study, the most less with 1-2 species are found Coprimorphus (Aphodius) scrutator, Palaeonthophagus gibbulus, Palaeonthophagus similis, Sisyphus schaefferi and Oryctes nasicornis. It is expected that the number of scarab species will increase signifi cantly by the future investigations of Turkey Scarabaeidae fauna.

INTRODUCTION Europe [6,7]. This worrying trend should be attributed to The superfamily Scarabaeoidea comprises worldwide more the drastic changes observed in land use and farm practices. than 35.000 species [1]. Scarab beetles under superfamily Scarab beetles comprise a species group and are a Scarabaeoidea, comprise a species rich group and a conspicuous component of the fauna of the world. conspicuous component of the beetle (Coleoptera) fauna of Adults of these beetles are noticeable due to their relatively the World. The family Scarabaeidae includes about 91% of large size, bright colors, often elaborate ornamentation, and all Scarabaeoids and includes about 27,800 species belong interesting life histories. If we analyze the lifecycle we can to 2,000 genus worldwide [2]. Currently the superfamily observe that they feed in many different ways as on live Scarabaeoidea is divided into 12 families, 43 subfamilies, plant matter, plant roots or rotting wood, manure, carrion, 118 tribes and 94 subtribes. The scarab beetles of the order fungi, plants, pollen, fruit, compost [8]. Some species Coleopteran include both useful as well as harmful insects. are being used in various countries for the biological Within the Scarabaeidae, the Aphodiinae and Scarabaeinae control of important parasites of livestock because they include approximately 6,850 species worldwide (about decrease the availability of sites for reproduction of those 22% of scarabaeoids and 25% of Scarabaeidae) [3]. parasitic organisms. The effectiveness of these insects in In Europe, both species richness and endemism of removing organic matter makes them essential components Scarabaeidae are concentrated around the Mediterranean in maintaining and regulating of terrestrial ecosystems basin [4,5] and one may expect that climate warming could in which they live [9]. Scarab beetles have diversifi ed induce a global northward shift of the distribution of most into most habitats, and they are fungivores, herbivores, of these species. Nevertheless, during the twentieth century, necrophages, coprophages, saprophages, and carnivores. a signifi cant rarefaction of Scarabaeidae was observed in Even though they are prominent members of the entomo

71 fauna, they are still poorly known taxonomically. This study is based on Scarabaeidae specimens from Artvin In Turkey, 522 Scarabaeoidea species in 86 genus and 141 province between 2008-2013. We use pitfall traps, aspirator, species Scarabeidae in 44 genus are represented [2,10]. hand, net, and forceps. Pitfall traps consisted of 200 ml cups Taxonomic and ecological studies about Scarabaeidae buried in the soil in such a way that the lip of the trap fi ts with species of Turkey are considerably insuffi cient besides ground level. They were half fi lled with ethylene glycol and there has been no research about Scarabaeidae species water mixture at 1:1 ratio. The beetles were collected and the of the Artvin until now. Some important studies on the traps were cleared in two weeks intervals from the beginning Scarabaeidae of study area have been established by Lodos of April to the end of October in 2008 and 2013.The samples et al.

НОВЫЙ ВКЛАД В SCARABAEIDAE (INSECTA: COLEOPTERA) ФАУНЫ АРТВИНСКОЙ ПРОВИНЦИИ ТУРЦИИ

Темел Гоктурк, Ахмет Михли

Данное исследование основано на исследовании видов Scarabaeidae, собранных в Артвине 2008-2013 годы. Жуки непосредственно были собраны пинцетом и перенесены в небольшой пластиковый контейнер, а затем в лабораторию для идентификации видов и для инфекции. Для сбора насекомых были использованы ловушки. Образцы были убиты с помощью морилки и удержаны в соответствии с таксономическими нормами и правилами. Всего было выявлено 35 вида Scarabaeidae, из них 11 (Cetonia aeruginosa, Protaetia (Netocia) ungaricaanatolia, Coprimorphus (Aphodius) scrutator, Euheptaulacussus, Melolonthamelolontha, Anoxia orientalis, Amphimallon solstitiale, Palaeonthophagus fracticornis, Palaeonthophagus similis, Sisyphus schaefferi, Oryctes nas icornis) являются новыми для Восточного Черноморского региона Артвинской провинции. В статье предоставлено их распределения по всему миру и в Турции. Это первое в Артвине исследование видов Scarabaeidae. Среди них наиболее распространенными видами являются члены Scarabaeidae с 98 образцов (28%) из четырех видов (Cetonia aurata (% 9,8), Colobopterus erraticus (% 7,2), Emoniticellus fulvus (6.9) and Colobopterus brignoli (% 5,7)). Наиболее распространенным видом является Cetonia aurata с 29 образцами, и этот вид был найден в Артвине. Меньше всех были найдены следующие виды: Coprimorphus (Aphodius) scrutator, Palaeonthopha gusgibbulus, Palaeonthophagussimilis, Sisyphus schaefferi и Oryctesnas icornis. Ожидается, что число видов Scarabaeidae значительно возрастет в результате будущих исследований.
