The ecological properties and zoogeographical composition of the Elateridae fauna of the Eastern Black Sea region is presented. During field studies, 53 species belonging to five subfamilies and 23 genera were collected. Among these, 13 species are recorded for the first time from the research area and detailed locality records for Turkey were given for two of them. With the addition of previously reported one subfamily, 11 genera and 61 species from research area in present literature, it is exhibited that there are six subfamilies, 34 genera and 114 species belong to Elateridae fauna of the Eastern Black Sea region, which represents almost 23.1% of Elateridae fauna of Turkey. Most of the Elateridae fauna of the Black Sea region comprises from the species of subfamilies Elaterinae and Dendrometrinae. The genus Athous is the most species-rich genus. Results of this study also exhibit that, species numbers of research area represents 25.3% of total species numbers of detected genera of Turkey. Artvin province is the most species-rich part of research area. The Black Sea region of Turkey shares the most species in common with the European part of the Western Palaearctic region.
In this paper, some distributional data of three species belonging to three genera of Agrypninae CANDÈZE 1857; 34 species belonging to two genera of Cardiophorinae CANDÈZE 1860; 15 species belonging to six genera of Denticollinae STEIN & J. WEISE 1877; 36 species belonging to nine genera of Elaterinae LEACH 1815; four species
belonging to one genus of Melanotinae CANDÈZE 1859 and one species belonging to one genus of Negastriinae NAKANE & KISHII 1956 (Coleoptera, Elateridae) fauna of Turkey housed in the collection of Lodos Entomological Museum, Turkey (LEMT), Ege University, Izmir, Turkey, have been given. Among those Cardiophorus procerulus
KIESENWETTER 1859 is the first record for Turkish Elateridae fauna. The material is presented together with collecting dates and locality data.
Ninty-five species of Elateridae, from 30 genera and five subfamilies are documented from Turkey based
on specimens collected throughout the country. Ampedus sanguineus (Linnaeus, 1758), A. sinuatus Germar,
1844; Elater ferrugineus Linnaeus, 1758; Agriotes acuminatus (Stephens, 1830); A. brevis Candéze, 1863;
A. turcicus Candéze, 1863, Lacon punctatus (Herbst, 1779) and Idotarmonides anatolicus Agajev, 1985 are
recorded for the first time in the Eastern Anatolian Region. Those of Cardiophorus cyanipennis Mulsant and
Wachanru, 1852 and Mulsanteus guillebeaui (Mulsant and Godart, 1853) are recorded from the southeastern
Anatolia region. New distribution records of the most of the species are evaluated. So that, each species
show different distribution pattern; most of species are sparsely collected, the rest of examined species have
moderate or widespread distributions. Some species were recorded from one or two provinces, even a single
sample. They might be classified as endangered species and should be considered for additon to the ICUN red list. Additionally, previously undescribed female of Elathous rufobasalis Wurst, 1994 and bursa copulatrix of Lacon solai Platia and Gudenzi, 2000 are described here.
Abstract The main aim of this study was to understand the faunistic composition, ecological properties, and zoogeographical composition of the family Elateridae (Coleoptera) of the Western Black Sea region of Turkey. As a result, 44 species belonging to 5 subfamilies and 19 genera were identified. After adding species reported in the literature to the analysis, the fauna in the research area consists of 6 subfamilies, 23 genera and 72 species. Most of the Elateridae fauna of the Western Black Sea region were classified in the subfamilies Elaterinae and Dendrometrinae. The genus Athous was the most species-rich genus. The species composition of the Elateridae fauna of the Western Black Sea region partially overlaps with the known Elateridae fauna of Turkey. The Western Black Sea region shares the most species with the European part of the Western Palaearctic region, including many of those in the Elateridae family, compared to other regions. Comparisons of the three geographical regions of Turkey show that fauna composition, ecological properties, and zoogeographical compositions of the Middle and Western Black Sea regions are more similar to each other than to those of the Central Anatolian region.
