Turkish Red List Categories of Longicorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Part II – Subfamily Lepturinae: Xylosteini, Enoploderini, Rhamnusiini, Oxymirini and Rhagiini

Abstract :

The aim of this study is to create a Turkish Red List of the longicorn beetles. Moreover, presence such a Red List is necessary for Turkey. Even governmental evaluations could cause some erroneous decisions due to absence such a Red List. Since, governmental evaluations at the present time are based on the works that are realized with respect to the European Red List. Furthernore, Turkey appears a continental property changeable in very short distances in terms of climatical features and field structures. So, the status of European fauna and the status of Turkish fauna are not the same. Clearly, there is no any work that subjected to create a Turkish Red List except Parts I. Hence, a series work is planned with this purpose. This type of study is the second attempt for Turkey.
