Abstract:

 In this study, samples of Dryopidae, Heteroceridae and Spercheidae Coleoptera were collected from the shallow areas of lakes, ponds, rivers and small puddles in Erzurum province Türkiye between 2015 and 2020 with sieves of 3.15 x 1 mm pore size mesh size 500 µm. A total of 4 different species were found. Two individuals from Dryops griseus Erichson, 1847 species; 1 individual from the species Dryops jeanneli Bollow 1938; 2 individuals of Heterocerus fenestratus Thunberg 1784; and 2 individuals of Spercheus emarginatus Schaller, 1783 species were caught. The collected samples were evaluated based on their morphological and ecological characteristics. While D. griseus was recorded for the first time in Türkiye, D. jeanneli and S. emarginatus are the third examples of species recorded in Türkiye. Additionally, these two species were recorded for the first time in the Eastern Anatolia region. H. fenestratus, collected from the Eastern Anatolia Region by another researcher, was also found during the study. The lateral parameters of the species aedeagophores collapse from the middle towards the interior. Aedeagophore photographs and distribution data in the country and worldwide are discussed in the article. The average temperature and chemical parameters electrical conductivity, pH, total nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, total phosphorus and water temperature of the water bodies where the four different species were collected were found to be close to each other. To comprehend the life cycle, ecological data, along with morphological descriptions and vegetation information for each species are described.

 Bu çalışmada, Dryopidae, Heteroceridae ve Spercheidae Coleoptera örnekleri 2015-2020 yılları arasında Erzurum ilindeki Türkiye göl, gölet, nehir ve küçük su birikintilerinin sığ alanlarından 3.15 x 1 mm gözenek boyutuna sahip eleklerle ağ boyutu 500 µm toplanmıştır. Toplam 4 farklı tür bulunmuştur. Dryops griseus Erichson, 1847 türünden 2 birey, Dryops jeanneli Bollow 1938 türünden 1 birey, Heterocerus fenestratus Thunberg 1784 türünden 2 birey ve Spercheus emarginatus Schaller, 1783 türünden 2 birey yakalanmıştır. Toplanan örnekler morfolojik ve ekolojik özelliklerine göre değerlendirilmiştir. D. griseus Türkiyede ilk kez kaydedilirken, D. jeanneli ve S. emarginatus Türkiyede kaydedilen üçüncü tür örnekleridir. Ayrıca, bu iki tür Doğu Anadolu Bölgesinden ilk kez kaydedilmiştir. Doğu Anadolu Bölgesinden başka bir araştırmacı tarafından toplanan H. fenestratus da çalışma sırasında bulunmuştur. Türlerin adegoforlarının yanal parametreleri ortadan iç kısma doğru çökmektedir. Adegofor fotoğrafları ile ülke ve dünyadaki dağılım verileri makalede tartışılmıştır. Dört farklı türün toplandığı su kütlelerinin ortalama sıcaklık ve kimyasal parametrelerinin elektriksel iletkenlik, pH, toplam azot, çözünmüş oksijen, toplam fosfor ve su sıcaklığı birbirine yakın olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yaşam döngüsünü anlamak için, her türün morfolojik tanımları ve vejetasyon bilgileri ile birlikte ekolojik veriler açıklanmıştır.
