Members of tribe Pogonocherini Mulsant (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) in Turkey with new distribution records and new host plants
Abstract : The paper presents detailed distribution data in Turkey of the members of Pogonocherini tribe with their host plants. As a result, only 11 species-group taxa (11 species or 8 species + 3 nominal subspecies) of two genera were determined and evaluated with their distributions in Turkey and their all host plants for Turkish Pogonocherini. In terms of range of provincial and modern regional distribution in Turkey, P. perroudi perroudi with 14 provinces and 5 regions and P. fasciculatus fasciculatus with 10 provinces and 4 regions are strikingly prevailing. Then, P. decoratus with 6 provinces and 5 regions, P. hispidulus with 6 provinces and 2 regions, P. anatolicus with 5 provinces and 2 regions, and P. sieversi with 4 provinces and 2 regions follow them. Similarly, in terms of number of recorded classical regions in Turkey, P. perroudi perroudi with 12 concepts is strikingly prevailing. Then, P. fasciculatus fasciculatus and P. anatolicus with 5 concepts, and also P. decoratus and P. hispidulus each with 4 concepts follow it. Moreover, the distribution range of two species-group taxa is expanded by determining new records for them. Pogonocherus inermicollis Reitter is recorded for the first time from Rize province, while Pogonocherus anatolicus (K. Daniel & J. Daniel) is recorded for the first time from Aydın and Muğla provinces with the present study. With the present study, host plants of all taxa are determined. Among them, 6 of 11 species-group taxa are polyphagous in both deciduous and coniferous trees. Also, 2 of 11 species-group taxa are polyphagous only in coniferous trees. The remaining 3 of 11 species-group taxa are monophagous in coniferous trees. In addition, Pinaceae (Abies nordmanniana and Picea orientalis) are objectively first detection as host plants of P. sieversi. Also, the host range of two species-group taxa is expanded by determining new host plants for them. Pinaceae (Abies bornmulleriana) for P. fasciculatus fasciculatus and Lauraceae (Laurus nobilis) for P. anatolicus are detected for the first time as new host plants. In terms of the number of host plant families and species, P. hispidus with 35 plant species of 18 different plant families and P. hispidulus with 29 plant species of 14 different plant families are strikingly prevailing. Then, P. fasciculatus fasciculatus with 19 plant species of 5 different plant families follow them. Finally, Turkish Pogonocherini has no endemic taxa interestingly.
