ArticleAçık Erişim

Özet

This survey was carried out on the genus Macrocheles in Kelkit Valley, Turkey, during 2007–2012. Seven species, M. muscaedomesticae (Scopoli, 1772); M. glaber (Müller, 1860); M. perglaber Filipponi & Pegazzano, 1962; M. scutatus (Berlese, 1904); M. merdarius (Berlese, 1889); M. subbadius (Berlese, 1904); and M. robustulus (Berlese, 1904), were recorded from the valley. M. perglaber, M. scutatus, and M. subbadius are first records for the Turkish fauna. Original drawings and diagnoses for all known species of the genus from the valley are included. In addition, an identification key to the Turkish species of Macrocheles is provided here. © TÜBİTAK.

dc.description.sponsorshipWe are very grateful to Bruce Halliday (Australia) for his help with references, and to the anonymous reviewers for valuable corrections to the manuscript. This work was produced mainly from the material from the work supported by Scientific Research Project (BAP) Number 11BAP18 (Scientific Research Department of Erzincan University) and project number 107T183 of TUBITAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey). This study was a part of the first author's PhD thesis, and some species were presented in a short summary at the 21st National Biology Congress in Izmir, Turkey (3-7 September 2012), and at the 1st National Zoology Congress in Nevsehir, Turkey (28-31 August 2013).
