    Additional and new records of some Oxytelinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) from Turkey with notes on habitat associations
    (Entomological Soc Turkey, Ege Univ, 2020) Ciftci, Derya
    In this study, the specimens collected between 2011-2015 belonging Anotylus Thomson, C.G., 1859, Oxytelus Gravenhorst, 1806 and Platystethus Mannerheim, 1830 (Staphylinidae: Oxytelinae) were evaluated in terms of habitats and distributions. New and additional distribution data for 16 species are reported from various provinces of Turkey. Among them, Anotylus rugifrons (Hochhuth, 1849), Anotylus sexualis (Eppelsheim, 1892) and Oxytelus pseudopiceus Kashcheev, 1999 are new records for Turkey. For several other species, the author provides new provincial records. Distributions of 16 species in Turkey are mapped. Photographs of habitus, male sternites VII-VIII and aedeagus of A. sexualis, and habitus and male sternite VII of O. pseudopiceus are provided. EUNIS habitat types where the species were collected were mentioned. The highest number of species (9 species) was found in E3.4 followed by G1.7 (6 species) and G3.5 (5 species). Most of species were taken from cow dung. Habitat and environment information of species listed in present study were compared and evaluated with the literature. In addition, it is thought that nutritional requirements are at the main determinant in the habitat associations of the species.

    An Effective Method for the Monitoring of Stag Beetle (Lucanus cervus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Lucanidae)) larvae
    (Gazi Entomological Research Soc, 2021) Ayaz, Zafer; Ciftci, Derya
    Lucanus cervus (Linnaeus, 1758) is involved in the Near Threatened (NT) danger category in the IUCN Red List. It plays an important role in the ecosystem, nutrient cycling, and the decomposition process of wood. Its larvae live under or in damp and decaying trees. We designed an equipment to ensure the detection and the long-term monitoring of Lucanus cervus and many other insect larvae that complete their larval stages in a wood tissue without destroying their habitats. The equipment developed is an audio listening device that amplifies the larval sounds. This device was designed as a 4-stage structure with a sensor stage, low and high pass filter stage, voltage gain sound amplifier stage, and output stage. This device was used for the first time in the larvae's natural environment. With this new equipment, listening was performed on decaying trunks in the Amanos Mountains, which are included in the spreading area of Lucanus cervus akbesianus Planet, 1896, located within the borders of Hatay province in June-July 2017. The presence of the larvae of Lucanus cervus akbesianus was detected in oak tree trunks, and sound recording was performed. Accordingly, the larvae made approximately 5 clicks in a series and left a 7-8 second gap between two series. It is considered that the audio listening device developed in this study is an effective method for the detection of other saproxylic beetles larvae in decaying wood.

    Three New Species of Hilara Meigen (Diptera: Empididae) from Central and Northeastern Turkey
    (Gazi Entomological Research Soc, 2020) Ciftci, Mustafa Cemal; Ciftci, Derya; Can, Sirin Bahar
    Three new species, Hilara elifae Ciftci & D. Ciftci sp. nov. (Hilara interstincta-group), Hilara ardahanensis Ciftci & Can sp. nov. (Hilara abdominalis-group) and Hilara hasbenlii Ciftci sp. nov. (Hilara maura-group) are described from central (Sivas province) and northeastern (Ardahan province) Turkey. Male and female specimens of new species are described and male genitalia and forelegs are illustrated. The relationships between the new species and related species are compared.
