ACTA ZOOLOGICA BULGARICA Acta zool. bulg., 61 (2), 2009: 207-211 New Records of Paederinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) from Turkey Sinan Anlaş¹ and Armin Rose² ¹ Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Ege, 35100 Bornova, Izmir, Turkey; E-mail: sinan.anlas@gmail.com ² DZMB, German Centre for Marine Biodiversity Research, Senckenberg Research Institute, Südstrand 44, D-26382 Wilhelmshaven, Germany; e-mail: arose@senckenberg.de Abstract: Records of 29 species of Paederinae new to certain Turkish provinces are given. Amongst those Astenus adonis Coı f fa ı t 1960, A. bulgaricus Coı f fa ı t 1971, A. rufopacus Reı t t e r 1909, and Lathrobium wrasei Sch ü l k e 1990 are the first records for Turkish fauna. Key words: Staphylinidae, Paederinae, new records, fauna, Turkey Paederinae is a widespread and rather big subfamily of Staphylinidae, comprising about 6000 species worldwide out of 225 genera (Her m a n 2001). According to Anl a ş (2009), 192 species of 30 genera belonging to Paederinae have been reported for Turkey. However, many Turkish provinces are sparsely investigated regarding their Paederinae species inventory. The aim of this study is to enhance knowledge on the distribution of Turkish Paederinae. Material and Method The present paper is primarily based on material collected during three field trips to Antalya province carried out by Armin Rose in March 2000, 2001, and 2002, as well as recent collections by Sinan Anlaş and Ersen Aydın Yağmur. Classification and nomenclature of Paederinae suggested by Sme ta n a (2004) has been followed in this study. The material referred to in this study is deposited in the following collections: LEMT... Lodos Entomological Museum, Izmir (S. Tezcan) canl.. first author s private collection cass.. private collection of Volker Assing (Hannover) cros.. second author s private collection Results In this study, 29 species of 14 genera belonging to 6 subtribes of Paederinae are newly reported for certain Turkish provinces. Amongst those Astenus adonis Coı f fa ı t 1960, A. bulgaricus Coı f fa ı t 1971, A. rufopacus Reı t t e r 1909, and Lathrobium wrasei Sch ü l k e 1990 are the first records for Turkish fauna. The formerly known distribution of these species for Turkey is given by Anl a ş (2009). Subfamily Paederinae Fle m i n g 1821 Tribe Paederini Fle m i n g 1821 Subtribe Astenina Hatch 1957 207
