Ankara, Kırşehir, Nevşehir ve Aksaray illeri Eumenidae (Hymenoptera: Vespoidea) türleri üzerine faunistik araştırmalar ve ekolojik gözlemler
Özet
In this study, the Eumenidae family (Insecta: Hymenoptera) has been investigated faunistically in the provinces of Ankara, Aksaray, Kırşehir and Nevşehir, and natural habitats and their food plants of adult individuals in this family have been determined based on the ecological observations. Total of 1088 (720 ŞŞ, 368 33) specimens from studied provinces have been collected from 1999 to 2003. 82 species and subspecies from studied provinces have been recorded. The Eumenes punctaticlypeus punctaticlypeus G.S., 1943 is a new record for the fauna of Turkey. Each taxon was arranged in systematical order. The material examined, the months that specimens were collected in, the kind of habitat, the plants that specimens were collected on, and distribution in the world as well as in Turkey were given for each taxon. The results were discussed from the ecologic and faunistic points of view, the literature records have been compared with the new records, and the distribution of species in respect to provinces, their habitat preferences and their zoogeographic distribution have been illustrated in charts. 2004, 115 pages Key Words: Hymenoptera, Eumenidae, fauna, ecology, habitat, Ankara, Aksaray, Kırşehir, Nevşehir, Turkey.
