Checklist of Braconinae species of Turkey (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Abstract

The Braconinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species recorded from Turkey are listed, the present total number being 195. Changes with respect to the previous Turkish fauna are briefly annotated and the distributions for all the species in each of the 68 biogeographical provinces are presented. After the publication of our previous fauna, 173 species have been recorded as new to Turkey. Of these, 96 species are distributed only in Asian Turkey and 14 species are distributed only in European Turkey, while 85 species occure in both. The presented checklist covers synonyms, zoogeographical region(s), hosts, host plants of host species and parasitoid data for the species.In total, 195 species belonging 9 genera are reported for the studied regions of Turkey. The number of species of each genus is represented by: Atanycolus Foester,

“…Among the countries bordering Iran, knowledge of the Braconinae of Turkey has gradually increased in recent years. To date, 195 species from Braconinae and 107 species of Bracon have been recorded in Turkey (Beyarslan and Fischer, 1990;Beyarslan, 2002Beyarslan, , 2009Beyarslan, , 2010Beyarslan, , 2011Beyarslan, , 2014Beyarslan et al, 2005Beyarslan et al, , 2006Beyarslan et al, , 2009Beyarslan and Tobias, 2008;Bolu et al, 2009;Beyarslan and Çetin Erdoğan, 2010, 2011, 2012.…”
