Journal Title: Journal of Insect Biodiversity - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 16
Abstract
Faunistic and sistematics studies on the family Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) were reviwed occuring in eastern Turkey for over 20 years. In this study, 8 Acaenitinae, 16 Anomaloninae, 33 Banchinae, 26 Campopleginae, 1 Collyriinae, 23 Cremastinae, 29 Cryptinae, 9 Ctenopelmatinae, 1 Cylloceriinae, 6 Diplazontinae, 142 Ichneumoninae, 23 Mesochorinae, 30 Metopiinae, 15 Ophioninae, 2 Orthocentrinae, 2 Orthopelmatinae, 66 Pimplinae, 1 Stilbobinae, 13 Tersilochinae and 41 Tryphoninae species were recorded. So far, totally, 487 species with 186 genera and 20 subfamilies are recognized. With present knowledge, among them, Colpotrochia triclistor (Aubert, 1979), Exochus protuberans Kolarov & Çoruh, 2009 and Coelichneumon nigritor Riedel, Çoruh & Özbek, 2010 are endemic to Anatolia. The species composition, collected biogeographical regions, altitudinal distribution, seasonal dynamics, individual diversity and available host data of species in the region were reviewed.
