Specimens were collected from host plants using an insect net. During this study, 42 species belonging to 13 genera from 3 subfamilies were determined in this region. Urophora tenuis Becker, 1908 is recorded for the first time from Turkey. In addition, zoogeographic distribution and wing figures of all species are given. Key words: Tephritidae, fauna, Adıyaman, Kilis, Şanlıurfa, Turkey 1. Introduction 2. Materials and methods Fruit flies are high profile insects among commercial fruit Adult specimens were collected from host plants using and vegetable growers, marketers, exporters, government an insect net in various locations of Adıyaman, Kilis, regulatory agencies, and the scientific community. Locally, and Şanlıurfa provinces during 2009 and 2010. Species producers face huge losses without some management were identified using the keys of Freidberg and Kugler scheme to control fruit fly populations. At the national (1989), Merz (1994) Korneyev and White (1999), and Kütük (2003a). The terminology primarily follows that of and international levels, plant protection agencies strictly White et al.

Some species of Tephritidae infest the flower heads of Asteraceae host plants, 3. Results collectively belonging to several tribes, with or without the In this study, 42 species belonging to 13 genera in 3 induction of galls (Freidberg, 1984). subfamilies were determined from Adıyaman, Kilis, and Faunistic studies on the tephritid fly fauna in Turkey Şanlıurfa provinces: Acanthiophilus helianthi (Rossi), began with Giray (1966). Kütük (1998) reported 21 species Campiglossa producta (Loew), Capitetes ramulosa (Loew), from Malatya province in his MSc thesis. Kütük (2003a) Chaetorellia jaceae (Rob-Des), Chaetorellia succinea reported 62 species from the southwestern Anatolian (Costa), Chaetostomella cylindrica (Rob-Des), Goniurellia region. Kütük (2003b) reported 17 species of Urophora Rob- longicauda Freidberg, Sphenella marginata (Fallen), Des (Diptera: Tephritidae) from the Eastern Mediterranean Tephritis acanthiophilopsis Hering, T. divisa Rondani, region of Turkey. Kütük (2006b) determined 22 species T. hurvitzi Freidberg, T. merzi Freidberg-Kütük, T. nigricauda (Loew), T. postica (Loew), T. praecox (Loew), of Tephritis Latreille (Diptera: Tephritidae) from Turkey. T. simplex (Loew), Tephritomyia lauta (Loew), Terellia Kütük (2008) reported 39 species of fruit flies from Kayseri colon (Meigen), T. gynaecochroma (Hering), T. longicauda and Sivas provinces. Kütük and Yaran (2011) reported 15 (Meigen), T. nigripalpis (Hendel), T. serratulae (Linnaeus), species of Terellia Rob-Des (Diptera: Tephritidae) from T. virens (Loew), Trupanea amoena (Frauenfeld), T. stellata Turkey. Görmez (2011) reported 115 species of fruit flies (Fuesslin), Urophora affinis (Frauenfeld), U. aprica (Fallen), from Turkey. Kütük et al.

Most species are phytophagous and have prominently patterned wings (White, 1988). So they are economically important because of the damage they may cause in fruit plantations (Merz, 2001). Other species are important agents in biological control programs against weeds (White & Elson-Harris, 1992). This family is recognized by the following characters: medium or small sized flies; vertical plate usually dose not reach midpoint of frons and carries one or more orbital bristles; antennae with glabrous or plumose arista; wings usually with a pattern consisting of brown strips and spots, costal vein with two interruptions, one before humeral vein and one at place of ending of subcostal vein; abdomen in males with five and in females with six segments visible externally (Rikhter, 1989).

  • Faunistical and Systematical Studies on the Genus Tephritis Latreille, 1804 (Diptera: Tephritidae) in the South West of Turkey Along with New Records*
    TUrk. entomo!. derg., 2003, 27 (4) : 243-252 ISSN 1010-6960 Faunistical and systematical studies on the genus Tephritis Latreille, 1804 (Diptera: Tephritidae) in the South West of Turkey along with new records* Murat KOTOK** A. Faruk aZGOR** Summary The present study is based on Tephritis Latreillesamples collected from South West Anatolia Region of Turkey during the years of 1999 - 2001. During the study, eleven species belonging to the genus Tephritis were recorded. Among these species, Tephritis hyoscyami (Linnaeus), T. nigricauda (Loew), T. sauteri Merz, T. seperata Rondani, T. vespertina (Loew) are new records for the Tephritidae fauna of Turkey. Identification key to the species were prepared. The distribution of the species in Turkey and elsewhere in the world is reported. Key words: Tephritis, Tephritidae, South West Anatolia, Turkey Anahtar sozcukler. Tephritis, Tephritidae, Guneybati Anadolu, Ttirkiye Introduction The genus Tephritis Latreille is distinguished from all other Tephritinae genera by the following combination of characters (only the major characters are listed; more complete lists of characters can be found in Freidberg & Kugler (1989) and Merz (1994)); two orbital setae, anterior seta acuminate and dark (brown or blackish), posterior seta usually lancealate and pale (whitish or yellowish; in two species brown or black); two dark frontal setae; dorsocentral seta situated on or slightly posterior to transverse suture; scutellum flat, with two pairs of setae, apical seta about 0.4-0.6 times as long as basal seta; wing pattern highly variable among • This study is a part of PhD thesis of the first author. •• University of Cukurova, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Plant Protection, Adana, Turkey e-mail: [email protected] Alnus (Received): 30.04.2003 243 r the species, usually reticulate with well developed apical fork, sometimes stellate (as in T.

  • Biological Control of Yellow Starthistle
    Biological Control of Yellow Starthistle Lincoln Smith, USDA-ARS-WRRC, 800 Buchanan St, Albany CA 94710 Joe Balciunas, USDA-ARS-WRRC, 800 Buchanan St, Albany CA 94710 Michael J. Pitcairn, California Dept. of Food and Agriculture, 3288 Meadowview Road, Sacramento, CA 95832 Yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis L.) is an alien plant that probably originated from the eastern Mediterranean. It was first collected in California in 1869, and now infests 42% of the state’s townships. It interferes with land use such as grazing and recreation, displaces native species, and is toxic to horses (Sheley, et al. 1999 and papers cited therein). This weed is much less invasive in its land of origin. This is presumably because natural enemies, such as insects, plant diseases, animals or competing plants help to keep it under natural control. We are exploring for insects and pathogens that attack this plant. They are tested for host specificity to make sure they do not attack other plants. After evaluation and approval by state and federal agencies, these agents will be released to try to reestablish the natural control that occurs in the land of origin. So far, six species of insect biological control agents have been introduced to control yellow starthistle (Turner et al. 1995; Rees et al. 1996; Jette, et al. 1999). All six attack the seedheads. The most promising agent is the hairy weevil (Eustenopus villosus), which is well established in California and occurs in high densities, attacking 25 to 80% of seedheads. Adults damage young flower buds by feeding on them, and lay eggs on later-developing flower buds.

Larvae of Terellia develop in the flowerheads of the family Asteraceae. In this study, the authors collected species of Terellia from possible host plants in the summer of 2009 and 2017 in northeastern Turkey using an insect net. Collected materials were pinned and deposited in the Gaziantep University Entomology Laboratory. Upon identification, Terellia (Cerajocera) akguli sp. nov. has been described as a new species and placed in the subgenus Cerajocera. Also, T. (C.) armeniaca Korneyev, 1985 has been recorded for the first time in Turkey with this study. The paper describes new species and presents morphological characteristic figures of the new species. Additionally, the key for the subgenus Cerajocera distributed in Turkey is provided. Key words: Fruit flies, new species, Tephritidae, Terellia, Terellia akguli, Turkey 1. Introduction This study was based on fruit fly samples that were Tephritidae is one of the largest Diptera families; there collected in the summer of 2009 and 2017 in northeastern are about 4500 known species and 500 genera in the Turkey.
