First Record of Micrasema cinereum Mosely (Trichoptera, Brachycentridae) in Turkey and a List of the Caddisfly Fauna in Araç Creek. Trakya Univ J Nat Sci, 20(2): 81-87, DOI: 10.23902/trkjnat.484166 Received: 16 November 2018, Accepted: 30 April 2019, Online First: 03 May 2019, Published: 15 October 2019 Abstract: Systematic studies on Trichoptera larvae in Turkey are very limited. The larval stage of the endemic species remains especially unknown. This study was carried out in Araç Creek between April and October 2013 and it is the first study to determine the caddisfly fauna in Araç Creek. Fourteen caddisflies taxa belonging to nine genera within eight different families (Brachycentridae, Hydropsychidae, Hydroptilidae, Lepidostomatidae, Leptoceridae, Limnephilidae, Psychomyiidae and Rhyacophilidae) were identified. Four of these taxa have previously been recorded from the creek and the other ten taxa are new records for the study area while Micrasema cinereum Mosely is the first record for the Trichoptera fauna of Turkey. As a result of the study, the number of caddisfly taxa in Turkey is now 501, with the addition of M. cinereum. Key words: New record, larvae, description, benthic macroinvertebrates, Araç creek, Turkey. Özet: Türkiye’de Trichoptera larvaları üzerindeki sistematik çalışmalar çok sınırlıdır ve özellikle endemik türlerin larva evresi bilinmemektedir. Çalışma Araç Çayı'nda 2013 yılı Nisan-Ekim ayları arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir ve Araç Çayı’nın Trichoptera faunasını belirleyen ilk çalışmadır. Sekiz farklı familyadan (Brachycentridae, Hydropsychidae, Hydroptilidae, Lepidostomatidae, Leptoceridae, Limnephilidae, Psychomyiidae ve Rhyacophilidae) 9 cinse ait 14 Trichoptera taksonu belirlenmiştir. Bu taksonlardan dördü daha önce Araç Çayı’ndan kaydedilmiş, diğer 10 takson ise Araç Çayı için yeni kayıttır. Buna ek olarak, Micrasema cinereum Mosely ise Türkiye Trichoptera faunası için ilk kayıttır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, Türkiye'deki Trichoptera takson sayısı yeni bir kayıtla birlikte 501 olmuştur. Introduction Brachycentridae larvae are characterized and 500 taxa (461 species and 39 subspecies) (Darılmaz & distinguished from larval stages of other caddisfly Salur 2015, Küçükbasmacı & Kıyak 2017, Sipahiler 2016, families by (i) the absence of lateral and dorsal humps in Sipahiler 2017a, b, Sipahiler 2018a, b) Most of the studies the first abdominal segment, (ii) possessing transverse on caddisflies have been performed based on their adults, groove at midlenght of pronotum, (iii) a pair of plates (that but taxonomic studies on their larval stages are limited in are often divided longitudinally by narrow sutures) on Turkey. In particular, there is a lackabout descriptive mesotonum, and (iv) either the absence of primary setal studies on larvae of endemic species. The lack of area or the presence of sclerotized setae on metanotum taxonomic and ecological data on benthic (Flint 1984, Vieira-Lanero et al. 1998, Pescador et al. macroinvertebrates has been concluded to negatively 1995). Larvae, in general, live in cold lotic fresh-water affect their reliable use in biomonitoring related studies in springs, streams and rivers while some species can also Turkey, and studies at species level on key taxons one of live in the shores of lakes, as in the case of the genus which is Trichoptera in addition to Ephemeroptera, Micrasema McLachlan (Pescador et al. 1995). Micrasema Odonata, Plecoptera, Simuliidae and are believed to consists of only 23 species in the West Palearctic Region contribute to improvement of such studies (Kazancı & fauna (Malicky 2004) and their larvae, whose inhabitant Ertunç 2010). From this point of view, this study was area is mostly surrounded by mosses and other plants, can performed in order to determine caddisfly fauna of Araç resist and therefore inhabit shallow streams (Hilsenhof Creek (Kastamonu) as a contribution to Turkish caddisfly 1985). The caddisfly fauna of Turkey is represented by fauna. OPEN ACCESS © Copyright 2019 Trakya University 82 İ. Küçükbasmacı & Ö.
