New contribution to the Turkish Dolichopodidae (Diptera) fauna and taxonomy Introduction
Abstract
The following five species are recorded for the first time from Turkey: Dolichopus subpennatus d'Assis Fonseca, 1976; Sybistroma transcaucasica (Stackelberg, 1941); Tachytrechus genualis Loew, 1857; Diaphorus hoffmannseggi Meigen, 1830 and Diaphorus winthemi Meigen, 1824. Hercostomus varicoloris Becker, 1917 and Hercostomus caucasicus Stackelberg, 1933 are transferred to the genus Poecilobothrus Mik, 1878 (comb. nov.). A new subspecies, Poecilobothrus varicoloris flavifemoratus subsp. nov. collected in Bolu region is described. As a result, the dolichopodid list of Turkey has increased to 117 species.
... The authors did not include the publication of Pârvu & Popescu-Mirceni (2006) which reported 26 species from Turkey, 10 of which recorded for the first time. Tonguç et al. (2009Tonguç et al. ( , 2010 added 13, , 2010a 12 (Diaphorus winthemi added twice) and Naglis (2009Naglis ( , 2010 22 species. In this paper faunistic data are provided for 26 species of Dolichopodinae including 16 new records and two new species as well as one new record of Sympycninae. ...
... Remarks: Recorded from Turkey by Grichanov et al. (2007). The species has been transferred from Hercostomus by Grichanov & Tonguç (2010a). The specimens at hand vary in the coloration of the femora: one specimen has entirely black femora, while two others have the basal half of all femora yellow. ...
... The specimens at hand vary in the coloration of the femora: one specimen has entirely black femora, while two others have the basal half of all femora yellow. A similar variability is also known from the closely related P. varicoloris (Becker, 1917) (see Grichanov & Tonguç 2010a). ...
Rhaphium srilankensis sp. nov. is newly described from Sri Lanka. It is distinguished from all congeners by the total absence of an arista in males. The new species is the first Oriental record of Rhaphium outside of China. A key to the Oriental genera of Rhaphiinae is provided.
... Distribution in Turkey: Zonguldak (Grichanov and Tonguç, 2010b). Negrobov et Maslova, 2005 Diaphorus pilitibius Negrobov et Maslova, 2005: Vestnik zoologii 39(6): 77. ...
... Distribution in Turkey: Sakarya (Grichanov and Tonguç, 2010b). Becker, 1918 Diaphorus varifrons Becker, 1918: N. Acta Acad. ...
The first checklist of the Dolichopodidae of Turkey is presented. A total of 187 species and one subspecies belonging to 35 genera are listed. The type locality and the distribution in Turkey for each species are given.
... Genus Poecilobothrus Mik, 1878 NOTES. Until now the genus Poecilobothrus, belonging to the subfamily Dolichopodinae, had long been supposed to be Mediterranean in distribution, with 16 known species [Grichanov, 2017] occurring in the West Palaearctic countries with relatively mild climate, from southern Scandinavia in the North, to North Africa and Central and Middle Asia (Iran, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) in the South [I raise here Poecilobothrus flavifemoratus Grichanov et Tonguç, 2010, subspecies of P. varicoloris (Becker, 1917, to a species level (stat.n.)]. With new re-combinations in this paper (see below) the genus is distributed in the Russian Prymorye and all over China in addition to West Palaearctic countries, numbering totally 31 valid species. ...
... New to Iran. Distribution: Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Russia (Adygea), Slovakia, Sweden, Turkey and UK (Grichanov, 2007;Grichanov and Tonguç, 2010). New to Iran. ...
Based on specimens collected from East Azerbaijan province during 2009-2011, four genera and eleven species of the family Dolichopodidae are recognized. Seven species (Diaphorus sublautus Negrobov, Dolichopus austriacus Parent, D. campestris Meigen, D. immaculatus Becher, D. subpennatus Fonseca, D. ungulatus (Linnaeus), Hercostomus phoebus Parent are recorded from Iran for the first time. Photos and an adapted key to species of the family Dolichopodidae occurring in this region are given.
... Until recently, only 21 species of long-legged flies were known from this territory (Negrobov, 1991). Later, Dolichopodidae material collected from Turkey was extensively studied in several regions, especially during recent years (Grichanov et al., 2007; Naglis, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012; Popescu-Mirceni and Pârvu, 2009; Tonguç et al., 2009; Grichanov and Tonguç, 2010a, 2010b; Tonguç et al., 2010; Tonguç and Barlas, 2011; Tonguç and Grootaert, 2013). Nevertheless, some territories of Asia Minor remain poorly investigated. ...
Fifteen new records of Dolichopodidae from the inner western Anatolia region resulting from recent expeditions are presented. The following species are recorded from Turkey for the first time: Argyra argyria (Meigen, 1824); Hercostomus griseifrons Becker, 1910; Poecilobothrus principalis (Loew, 1861); Orthoceratium lacustre (Scopoli, 1763); Scellus notatus (Fabricius, 1781); Medetera perfida Parent, 1932; Neurigona abdominalis (Fallen, 1823); Peloropeodes acuticornis (Oldenberg, 1916); Rhaphium albifrons Zetterstedt, 1843; Campsicnemus barbitibia Stackelberg, 1947; Campsicnemus crinitarsis Strobl, 1906; Campsicnemus filipes Loew, 1859; Sympycnus simplicipes Becker, 1908; Syntormon zelleri (Loew, 1850); and Teuchophorus chaetifemoratus Pollet & Kechev, 2007.
... During the last decade various authors contributed to a better knowledge of the Dolichopodidae of Turkey and raised the number of species to 155 2010a;Naglis, 2009;2010;2011;2012;Popescu-Mirceni and Pârvu, 2009;Tonguç et al., 2009;Barlas, 2011). Despite these recent efforts we suspect that at least twice as much species occur in this huge country with its great variety of habitats. ...
A new species of Amblypsilopus is described from Turkey: A. turcicus sp. nov.. It is closely related to A. janatus (Negrobov, 1984) from Japan.
... The Dolichopodinae contain the highest number of species in the Palaearctic region, while the Xanthochlorinae have the lowest species number (9 species). The new Dolichopodinae records from Turkey were recently given in many articles (Pârvu and Popescu-Mirceni, 2006;Tonguç et al., 2009, Tonguç et al., 2010Grichanov & Tonguç, 2010a;2010b). ...
Faunistic data are given for one species of the subfamily Xanthochlorinae and six species of the subfamily Dolichopodinae (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) collected between May 2009 and May 2010 in the Inner West Anatolia region of Turkey. The following species are recorded for the first time; Dolichopus austriacus Parent, 1927, Dolichopus calinotus Loew, 1871, Hercostomus fulvicaudis (Haliday, 1851), Sybistroma crinipes Staeger, 1842, Sybistroma lorifera (Mik, 1878), Sybistroma nodicornis Meigen, 1824. In addition, Xanthochlorus tenellus (Wiedemann, 1817) is the only Xanthochlorinae species recorded in Turkey .
It is presented the distribution of 50 brachyceran dipteran species (11 families) from Turkey and Syria, collected in the expeditions " Euphrates "-2008, " Focida "-2006, " Taurus "-2005. From them, nine species are not reported in the " Catalogue of the Palaearctic Dipterans ". Résumé. On présente la distribution de 50 espèces de Diptères brachycères (11 familles) de Turquie et de Syrie, collectées au cours des expéditions " Euphrates "-2008, " Focida "-2006, " Taurus "-2005. Neuf espèces ne sont pas citées dans le " Catalogue des Diptères Paléarctiques " .
The following eight species are recorded for first time from Turkey: Argyra diaphana (FABRICIUS, 1775), Chrysotus pulchellus KOWARZ, 1874, Diaphorus graecus PARENT, 1932, Diaphorus winthemi MEIGEN, 1824, Gymnopternus celer (MEIGEN, 1824), Hercostomus nigrilamellatus (MACQUART, 1827), Tachytrechus petraeus LOEW, 1871 and Neurigona nubifera (LOEW, 1869). As a result, the dolichopodid list of Turkey has increased to 112 species.
Faunistic data are given for 9 species of Dolichopodidae, mostly new to the fauna of Turkey and collected in Marmara and Antalya regions. The following species are recorded for first time in Turkey: Chryso-tus angulicornis Kowarz, 1874, Dolichopus nubilus Meigen, 1824, Poecilobothrus chrysozygos (Wie-deMann, 1817), Sybistroma discipes (gerMar, 1821), Sybistroma obscurella (Fallén, 1823), Sybistroma sphenoptera (loeW, 1859), Medetera pallipes (Zetterstedt, 1843) and Thrypticus viridis Parent, 1932. The presence of Micromorphus albipes (Zetterstedt, 1843) in the country is confirmed. As a result, 87 Dolichopodidae species are known for Turkey at the present.
Faunistic data are given for 5 species of Dolichopodidae, new to the fauna of Turkey and collected in the Marmara and Eagen regions. The following species are recorded for first time in Turkey Chrysotimus molliculus (Fallén, 1823), Hercostomus libanicola Parent, 1933, Neurigona erichsoni (Zedderstedt, 1843), Teuchophorus cristulatus Meuffels & Grootaert, 1992, Teuchophorus bisetus Loew, 1871. As a result, 104 Dolichopodidae species are known for Turkey at the present. The locations of 5 new collection sites from Turkey are mapped.
A check list and keys to genera and species of Dolichopodidae
of the Caucasus and East Mediterranean are compiled. 518 species
and 52 genera known in this region are included in the list, belonging
to the nine subfamilies. Introductory notes concerning systematic
position, ecology and morphology of Dolichopodidae and new
species records for some regions are given. New synonyms and a
new name are proposed. 512 species are included into the keys.
