ÇAM Gaziosmanpaşa University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Plant Protection, Tokat, Turkey Abstract - A checklist of Eurytomidae species known in Turkey is presented for the first time in the present paper, including their distributions in Turkey. A total of 88 species in 8 genera belonging to 2 subfamilies (Eurytominae, Rileyinae) are determined. Sycophila mellea Curtis, 1831 is presented as a new record for Turkish fauna. Key words: Checklist, Eurytomidae, Sycophila mellea, new record, Turkey INTRODUCTION The Eurytomidae is a medium-sized family of the superfamily Chalcidoidea, the members of which are distributed in all zoogeographical regions of the world. The family includes 1424 valid species belonging to 88 genera worldwide (Noyes, 2010). They are characterized by their large and quadrate pronotum; antennae with less than 13 segments; body robust to elongate and strongly sculptured, about mm in length, and a mesoscutum with notauli deep and complete. Most species are black or dark in color. Some species of the family are phytophagous (feeding in stems, seeds or galls), while others are entomophagous (parasitoids of a wide range of hosts in the orders Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera) and entomophytophagous. Several species are recorded from spider (Araneae) and cicada (Hemiptera) eggs. Recent studies have been carried out by various local and foreign researchers (Boucek, 1951, 1977; Nikol skaya, 1952; Doğanlar, 1984, 1990; Doğanlar and Çam, 1991, 2005; Çam, 1994, 1998, 2003, 2004; Gençer, 1994; Narendran et al., 1995; Zerova et al., 2003, 2004; Askew et al., 2006; Lotfalizadeh et al., 2007) on the species of Eurytomidae occurring in Turkey. Although there are many new records, in some parts of the country the species inventory of Eurytomidae is still rather poorly investigated. One of the reasons is that only a few entomologists have collected and identified Eurytomidae in some parts of Turkey. Another important reason may be the difficulties in the identification of Eurytomidae in general. There are no comprehensive faunistic studies of Eurytomidae carried out in Turkey to date. Only Noyes (2010) gives a list of 32 eurytomid species (in the text they are marked by an asterisk) at the Universal Chalcidoidea Database where all data are based on literature. Turkey links major faunal regions: Europe, Asia Minor and Asia, and also Africa. In addition to this, it is a large country (about 780,500 km 2 ) with different climatic zones. However, the variety of natural conditions of Turkey offers possibilities for a greater species richness of this family. 667

2 668 H. ÇAM This list presents the results of preliminary studies of more comprehensive work on the eurytomids of Turkey. It also includes the distribution of the species in Turkey with proper references to the fauna of Eurytomidae in Turkey for future studies. METHODOLOGY The available data from the literature have been used to compile this review paper. I did not intend to confirm identifications by previous researchers except for obvious cases, because more comprehensive studies are required for the collection-based works needed to confirm the actual Turkish occurrence of each species listed in this checklist. It is determined that Sycophila mellea is a new record for the fauna of Turkey. The species in each subfamily are arranged alphabetically, with their citation presented chronologically. The museum material of most specimens is deposited at Gaziosmanpasa University, Agricultural Faculty, Plant Protection Department, Tokat, Turkey. The classification and taxonomic arrangement are according to Noyes (2010). RESULTS In this study, the last situation of Eurytomidae species known from Turkey is evaluated. 88 species in 8 genera belonging to 2 subfamilies have been recorded to date. The list of species is given below. CHECKLIST OF EURYTOMIDAE OF TURKEY Family: Eurytomidae Walker, 1832 Subfamily 1. Eurytominae Walker, 1832 Genus 1.

As mentioned in the introduction, Turkey is a large country with various geographical regions and different climatic zones

7 UPDATED CHECKLIST OF THE EURYTOMIDAE SPECIES OF TURKEY 673 and has a diverse fauna of Eurytomidae, as expected. Although several faunistic surveys were performed in different localities of Turkey by several researchers, the present situation may not contain all Eurytomidae species. In addition, more detailed studies need to be conducted for the Eurytomidae fauna of Turkey. These studies may include more species and their particular ecological properties as well. The continuation of the faunistic studies of Eurytomidae in different localities is therefore necessary in order to complete the list of Turkish fauna of this family. It can be estimated that the Eurytomidae fauna of Turkey comprises more than 150 species. REFERENCES Anonymous (1971) Liste d identification des entomophages 8.
