Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) from Anatolia. II.
280
Introduction
Parasitic hymenoptera, a big insect group having a wide significance in terrestrial ecosystems
(Shaw & Hochberg, 2001), constitute a specialized group of Hymenoptera, one of the mega insect orders
(Stevens et al., 2007). Ichneumonidae is the biggest hymenopteran family including 1579 genera and
24,281 described species (Yu et al., 2012). The family is renowned as one of the most diverse animal
group (Grissell, 1999). Townes (1969) estimated that there could be about 60,000 ichneumonid species in
the world, whilst Gauld (1997) revised this figure upwards to potentially more than 100,000 species.
Common hosts are larvae and pupae of Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, and Lepidoptera. The
Ichneumonidae with regards to there functions in ecosystem is considered important. In recent years they
have been used successfully as biocontrol agents..There is surely a huge potential for their utilization in
managed biocontrol programmes (Gupta, 1991).
However, despite of their abundance and ecological importance, the Ichneumonidae remain
relatively to be poorly investigated (Shaw & Hochberg 2001). Number of species Ichneumonidae in
Turkey was recorded 1056 in Taxapad (Yu et al., 2012). In term of present studies on the
Ichneumonidae, we found several species so far unknown in Turkey. With the below mentioned
contributions (Özgen et al., 2010; Okyar et al., 2012; Çoruh & Özbek 2013; Çoruh & Kolarov, 2013;
Çoruh et al., 2013; Çoruh et al., 2014a,b; Riedel et al., 2014; Kolarov et al., 2014a,b) the numbers of
Ichneumonidae fauna of Turkey reached to about 1112 species.
With our new records presented here, the total number of species recorded from Turkey are now
1122. For each species we present a zoogeographic characterization following Taglianti et al. (1999).
This study is based upon material of family Ichneumonidae collected from different localities of
Anatolia in Turkey in 2013. The aim of this study was to present the complete records of preserved
material in order to improve knowledge about diversity of this important group in Turkey
Material and Methods
The samples were collected by insect net on different flowering plants in the Erzurum and in East
Black Sea Coast provinces Rize, Trabzon, Giresun, Ordu (Fig. 1) during June, 2013. Collected samples
were transferred into a handmade aspirator and were killed with ethyl acetate. Conventional standard
method was used for preparation of the samples. Materials are preserved in Collection of University of
(Bulgaria) for the present. The Plant species that visited by Ichneumonid species were collected by hand,
pressed and deposited in Herbarium section of Plant Protection Department (Erzurum). Plant specimens
were identified according to Davis (1965-1988) and Herbaryum of Ataturk University, Faculty of
Agriculture, Department of Plant Protection by third author. General distributions of the species were
taken from Yu et al. (2012) and vegetation data in studied areas are given in Table 1.

Zoogeographical characterization
The zoogeographical characterization follows mainly the chorotype classification of the Near East
fauna, proposed by Taglianti et al. (1999). After investigation of the recent geographic distribution of the
species, listed above, they can be divided into the following groups:
1. Cosmopolitan range has the species Hypsicera femoralis.
2. With multi-regional range is the species Acrodactyla quadrisculpta.
3. Ranges in two zoogeographical regions have 8 species. Six species are from Holarctic/Palaearctic
and Oriental region – Dichrogaster liostylus, Mesoleptus laticinctus, Triclistus globulipes, Pimpla
spuria, Acrotomus succinctus and Oedemopsis scabricula. Two species are from
Holarctic/Palaearctic and Afrotropical region – Encrateola laevigata and Gambrus incubitor.
4. Holarctic ranges have 7 species – Aritranis director, Buathra laborator, Mesostenus albinotatus,
Exochus mitratus, Apechthis compunctor, Gregopimpla inquisitor and Pimpla aquilonia.

Çoruh et al., Türk. entomol. derg., 2014, 38(3)
287
5. Palaearctic ranges have 9 species – Bathythrix linearis, Glyphicnemis profligator, Schreineria
populnea, Colpotrochia cincta, Exochus prosopius, E. suborbitalis, Pimpla melanacrias,
Cosmoconus (Cosmoconus) ceratophorus and Ctenochira meridionator.
6. Ranges in Siberoeuropean region have 5 species – Cryptus viduatorius, Itoplectis maculator,
Tryphon (Tryphon) rutilator, T. (T) thomsoni and T. (T) zavreli.
7. Hoplocryptus murarius has Centralasian-European range.
8. Turanoeuropean ranges have 5 species – Agrothereutes hospes, A. parvulus, Bathythrix
pellucidator, Glyphicnemis vagabunda and Ischnus alternator.
9. Numerous are European species – Bathythrix lamina, Endasys plagiator, Gambrus tricolor, Gelis
cursitans, G. formicarius, G. mutillatus, G. trux, Exochus flavifrons, Pimpla insignatoria and
Kristotomus pumilio.
In addition to all this, plant–insect relationships are of great importance to ecosystem (Petanidou
and Lamborn, 2005). Pemberton and Hoover (1980) listed the records of insects (in 66 genera)
associated with plants. Weeds on pastures and meadows, are good food sources for Ichneumonidae ,
which are important beneficial insects as parasitoids of many destructive pests of Coleoptera,
Lepidoptera, and other group of insects and arachnoids.
