Rare flea beetles records for the fauna of Turkey from Ankara and Kayseri provinces (Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini)
Abstract :We
had the opportunity to study some rare material of Alticini collected during
the expedition of Ankara and Kayseri provinces in 2015-2018. As a result of
this, a total of 7 rare species belonging to 5 genera of Turkish flea beetles
were determined. All species except for Phyllotreta pallidipennis Reitterare the first record for Kayseri province. Dibolia timida Illiger, Hermaeophaga ruficollis (Lucas),
Longitarsus truncatellus Weise,Psylliodes
isatidis Heikertinger, Psylliodes saulcyi Allard and Psylliodes
vindobonnensis Heikertinger are also the first record for Central Anatolian
region of Turkey.
Especially, Psylliodes saulcyi Allard in after 19 years and Psylliodes vindobonnensis Heikertinger in after 47 years are the
second records for Turkey. So the occurrence in Turkey of both species are
confirmed. In addition Phyllotreta
turcmenica Weise as
an interesting darkened form of Phyllotreta
pallidipennis Reitter is
reported for the first time from Turkey
