In Kemaliye, 91 species/subspecies Ibelonging to 52 genera within 9 families were confirmed to occur. Of these species, 11 species of Tettigoniidae, 1 species of Raphidophoridae, 4 species of Pamphagidae, 5 species of Acrididae are endemic to Anatolia.

Sevgili, A. Demirsoy, Y. Durmuş / Hacettepe J. Biol. & Chem., 2012, Special Issue, 317-335 INTRODUCTION MATERıALS AND METHODS rthoptera from the Turkey have long been This research covers the results of field studies Ostudied and it’s diversity has led to many conducted between 2005-2007. Specimens Turkish and European orthopterists studying them collected during field studies were prepared as in detail [1-32]. Many factors contribute to the faunal museum materials by the standart methods in diversity in Turkey, where the number of endemic University of Hacettepe and deposited in the species is high and and most species restricted Museum of Ali Demirsoy in Kemaliye, Erzincan. to small areas [22, 33-35]. Kemaliye is such an Some specimens were preserved in alcohol. interesting district, situated in Eastern part of Turkey Taxonomy follows the OSF database [42]. which sometimes can have the characteristics of Mediterranian climate [36]. TAXONOMY ENSIFERA Mainland Kemaliye consists mostly of plateaus TETTIGONIIDAE uninterrupted by mountainous regions with deep PHANEROPTERINAE valleys and canyons which supports diverse and PHANEROPTERINI distinct fauna and flora. Forexample, there are 61 PHANEROPTERA Serville, 1831 endemic plants in Kemaliye and nearby [37]. Bulut Phaneroptera (Phaneroptera) nana (Fieber, and Yılmaz [38] stated that majority of them are in 1853) critically endangered category. These mountains Distribution in Turkey: This species is widespread in host several endemic taxa and some isolated overall Turkey, mainly associated with mediterranian local populations belonging to highland-inhabiting habitats [13, 43]. Adults were seen from mid-July to species of Orthoptera. Many endemic species in the end of August. region are characterised by limited mobility and a Previous records: Erzincan: Kemaliye, 20.08.1967, topographic distribution of isolated populations of 3♂♂, 4♀♀ [20]. high or low density and close habitat. There are two Examined material: Although Demirsoy [20] faunistic studies about Orthoptera from Malatya (43 recorded the species from Kemaliye, but we had not Ensiferan, 72 Caeliferan species/subspecies) [39,40] been collected in the field during the study. and Elazığ (99 species/subspecies) [41] provinces adjacent to Kemaliye. The Orthoptera fauna of ACROMETOPINI Kemaliye is rather poorly studied, excluding some ACROMETOPA Fieber, 1853 records by Demirsoy [21] and Çıplak et al. [39,40]. Acrometopa syriaca (Brunner von Wattenwyl, The purpose of the present paper was to determine 1878) the Orthoptera fauna of Kemaliye district. Distribution in Turkey: Two species of the genus known from Turkey; A. syriaca and A. servillea. A. The faunal list produced in this study should servillea distributes in regions of Marmara, Ege and provide some baseline data on the Orthoptera Batı Karadeniz.
