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.

September 1997 Specimens representing 19 orders and 169 arthropod families (mostly insects) were collected from greenleaf manzanita brushfields in northeastern California and identified to species whenever possible. More than500 taxa below the family level wereinventoried, and each listing includes relative frequency of encounter, life stages collected, and dominant role in the greenleaf manzanita community. Specific host relationships are included for some predators and parasitoids. Herbivores, predators, and parasitoids comprised the majority (80 percent) of identified insects and related taxa.

  • Cheshire Wildlife Trust
    Cheshire Wildlife Trust Heteroptera and Diptera surveys on the Manchester Mosses with PANTHEON analysis by Phil Brighton 32, Wadeson Way, Croft, Warrington WA3 7JS [email protected] on behalf of Lancashire and Cheshire Wildlife Trusts Version 1.0 September 2018 Lancashire Wildlife Trust Page 1 of 35 Abstract This report describes the results of a series of surveys on the Manchester mosslands covering heteroptera (shield bugs, plant bugs and allies), craneflies, hoverflies, and a number of other fly families. Sites covered are the Holcroft Moss reserve of Cheshire Wildlife Trust and the Astley, Cadishead and Little Woolden Moss reserves of Lancashire Wildlife Trust. A full list is given of the 615 species recorded and their distribution across the four sites. This species list is interpreted in terms of feeding guilds and habitat assemblages using the PANTHEON software developed by Natural England. This shows a strong representation in the sample of species associated with shaded woodland floor and tall sward and scrub. The national assemblage of peatland species is somewhat less well represented, but includes a higher proportion of rare or scarce species. A comparison is also made with PANTHEON results for similar surveys across a similar range of habitats in the Delamere Forest. This suggests that the invertebrate diversity value of the Manchester Mosses is rather less, perhaps as a result of their fragmented geography and proximity to past and present sources of transport and industrial pollution. Introduction The Manchester Mosses comprise several areas of lowland bog or mire embedded in the flat countryside between Warrington and Manchester. They include several areas designated as SSSIs in view of the highly distinctive and nationally important habitat, such as Risley Moss, Holcroft Moss, Bedford Moss, and Astley Moss.

The specimens were collected between 1999 and 2013 from various provinces of Turkey. Spermathecae were coated in gold/palladium with a Emitech SC 7620 Sputter Coater and examined with a Jeol 6390 LV scanning electron microscope (SEM) operated at 10 kV. Spermathecal structures were characterized as spermathecal bulb, pumping region and spermathecal channel. Descriptions of the spermathecal structures, size of spermathecal bulb, aspect ratio of spermathecal bulb and SEM micrographs of spermathecae are presented for each species.

  • Preliminary Results on the Phytophagous Insect Fauna on Onopordum Acanthium (Asteraceae) in Bulgaria

Cassacia UTAGRI-ECO Via Anguillarese 301, 00123 S. Maria di Galeria (Rome), Italy Received: August 5, 2010 Accepted: November 3, 2010 SUMMARY The Scotch thistle, Onopordum acanthium (Asteraceae) has the Eurasian origin and represents an invasive weed in the USA and Australia. It is a serious problem in pastures, along roadsides, rangeland, etc. The weed is very common in Bulgaria and in 2009-2010 several sites with large populations of O. acanthium have been located. The weekly sur- veys of some of the sites, mainly in the region of Plovdiv, revealed a significant diver- sity of phytophagous insect species, some of which had very high population density. More than 30 species have already been identified and observations on the phenolo- gy and biology of some of them have been conducted. For some of the species, such as endophagous Larinus latus, Lixus cardui, Eublemma amoena, Trichosirocalus briesei, or ectophagous Cassida rubiginosa etc. found during our surveys, there are reports in the lit- erature describing them as having been already introduced as successful biocontrol agents in Australia. Endophagous species like lepidopteran Myelois circumvoluta and Pyroderces argyrogrammos which feed on the stems and the head, and the tephritid flies Tephritis pos- tica and Chaetostomella cylindrica which feed on the capitula, seem quite destructive for the weed, but need to be further studied regarding host specificity.

Two species of Tephritidae, Tephritis conyzifoliae Merz, 1992 and Tephritomyia lauta (Loew, 1869), and one species of Platystomatidae, Platystoma dimidiatum Hendel, 1913, are recorded for the first time from Armenia and Transcaucasia at large. The larvae of T. conyzifoliae develop in two species of Crepis, C. pannonica (Jacq.) K. Koch and C. ciliata C. Koch. The latter species is recorded for the first time as a host plant of T. conyzifoliae. Tephritomyia lauta were reared from Echinops sp. The morphologi­ cal details of all three species of flies are illustrated in colour photos, as well as the host plants of the two species of tephritids. Резюме. Два вида мух из семейства Tephritidae (Tephritis conyzifoliae Merz, 1992 и Tephritomyia lauta (Loew, 1869)) и один вид из семейства Platystomatidae (Platystoma dimidiatum Hendel, 1913) впервые приводятся для Армении и Закавказья в целом.

  • (Diptera: Tephritidae) Fauna of Çorum and Sinop Provinces with Two New Records for Turkey1

Specimens were collected between 2015 and 2018 from possible host plants. The specimens were examined and diagnosed under stereo microscope after preparation of the collected materials in laboratory. Sixty-six species and 24 genera belonging to five subfamilies Were determined for the fruit fly fauna of Çorum and Sinop Provinces. The genus Acidia Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830 as well as the species Acidia cognata (Wiedemann, 1817) and Carpomya wiedemanni (Meigen, 1826) are reported for the first time for the fruit fly fauna of Turkey. In addition to Wing photographs and information on species determined from the research region, host plants, World distribution, body and female genitalia photographs of new records are also presented. Keywords: Çorum, fauna, fruit flies, new record, Sinop, Turkey Öz Türkiye'de Çorum ve Sinop illerinin meyve sineği (Diptera: Tephritidae) faunası belirlenmiştir. Örnekler 2015 ve 2018 arasında muhtemel konukçu bitkilerden toplanmıştır. Toplanan örnekler laboratuvarda preparasyonları yapıldıktan sonra stereo mikroskopta incelendi ve teşhis edildi. Çorum ve Sinop İllerinin meyve sineği faunası için beş alt familyaya ait 24 cins ve altmışaltı tür tespit edilmiştir. Acidia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 cinsinin yanı sıra Acidia cognata (Wiedemann, 1817) ve Carpomya wiedemanni (Meigen, 1826) türleri Türkiye’den ilk defa bildirilmiştir.
