A study on the Nepomorpha (Hemiptera) species of some provinces of Anatolia, Turkey, with new records of Anisops debilis perplexus Poisson, 1929 and Notonecta reuteri Hungerford, 1928

Abstract

In this study, 610 adults and 83 nymphs from the infraorder Nepomorpha (Hemiptera) were collected from 29 different localities in eastern Anatolia, the Black Sea region and Kelkit Valley and Hatay from 2006-2010. In addition, the unpublished materials collected in different parts of Turkey by Seidenstucker and preserved in the Zoologische Staatssammlung Munchen were examined. 11 genera, 20 species and 2 subspecies were recorded. Of those, 20 are new records for the particular research areas and Anisops debilis perplexus Poisson, 1929 and Notonecta reuteri Hungerford, 1928 (Hemiptera: Notonectidae) are recorded for the Turkish fauna for the first time.
