Faunistical, Ecological and Zoogeographical Assessments on Some Subfamilies of The Family Staphylinidae (Coleoptera) in Ankara Province.

Abstract

This study was carried out with excursions which species belonging to the family Staphylinidae (Coleoptera) were collected in May-July, 2003, May-August, 2008 and April-June, 2009 in Ankara province. As a result of the study, 28 species belonging to 15 genera and five subfamilies (Aleocharinae, Omaliinae, Oxytelinae, Tachyporinae, Paederinae) were identified. Sampling localities, distributions of the species in Turkey and World are given. Specimen numbers, vertical distributions, collecting months and habitats, distributions of species in other geographical regions of Turkey and Zoogeographic regions are shown. According to present literature 18 of all detected species are new records for Ankara and Mycetoporus baudueri Mulsant & Rey, 1875 is a new record for Turkey.

INTRODUCTION
Family Staphylinidae is one of the largest
families of beetles and, indeed, of animals,
passing the 50,000 described species mark in
2007 [1]. The family Staphylinidae becomes the
largest in Coleoptera and in the whole Animal
Kingdom, with 55,440 described species, thus
surpassing Curculionidae with an estimated
51,000 described species [2].
Owing to its biogeographic situation and
its huge territory, Turkey is characterised
by an enormous biological diversity. Its
zoogeographically heterogeneous endemic fauna
is composed of elements from the Balkans, the
Caucasus, as well as from the Iranian and the
Syrian regions. Also, its topography with numerous
mountain ranges and its climatic heterogeneity
are important factors accounting for the species
richness of the region [3]
The recent world species catalog of
Staphylinidae lists 563 species from Turkey [4], but
it does not contain the subfamilies Aleocharinae,
Paederinae, Pselaphinae and Scaphidiinae. The
Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera reports 1.112
species from Turkey [5].
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The species were collected in May-July, 2003,
May-August, 2008 and April-June, 2009 in
Ankara. Habitats like under soil and stone, leaf
debris, edge of streams, carcass, dung, and
mushroom which species belonging to the family
Staphylinidae could be found were examined and
samples were collected by aspirator, sifter and
aerial net methods.
Identified specimens were deposited in our
private collection in Hacettepe University. Some
of the identified species were checked by Michael
Schülke (Berlin, Germany) and Volker Assing
(Hanover, Germany), Adriano Zanetti (Verona,
Italy).
All species sampling localities and distributions
in the world and Turkey were given. The figures
showing species distributions according to
their subfamilies, genera, collecting months and
altitudes were prepared.
At the end of the study 28 species belonging
to 15 genera and five subfamilies (Aleocharinae,
Omaliinae, Oxytelinae, Tachyporinae, Paederinae)
were identified.

DISCUSSION
In this study, 28 species belonging to five
subfamilies of the fmaily Staphylinidae were
identified from Ankara province. The subfamily
Aleocharinae has the largest number of species
in Staphylinidae worldwide. Its members occupy
atremendous diversity of ecological niches and
are often extremely abundant [41]. Our findings
are similar to this literature. The subfamily
Aleocharinae composes the major part of research
area’s Staphylinidae fauna with 11 species (39%)
followed by Tachyporinae (29.8% species),
Paederinae (18.5% species), and Oxytelinae (11.3%
species). The subfamily Omaliinae has the minor
part with 1 species (3%) (Figure 1). As a result of
the study, Aleochara has the highest number of
species (7 Species), followed by Tachyporus (3
species). While the genera Falagria, Platystethus,
Paederus, Lordithon and Tachinus have two
species each, the genera Drusilla, Nehemitropia,
Lesteva, Carpelimus, Lobrathium, Paederidus,
Rugilus and Mycetoporus have the lowest number
of species with one species each. The species
numbers according to detected genera is shown
in Figure 2.
According to the number of specimens,
Platystethus cornutus has the highest number of
specimens (36 specimens). Drusilla canaliculata,
Falagria sulcatula, Nehemitropia lividipennis,
Platystethus nitens, Lobrathium rugipenne,
Rugilus angustatus, Lordithon rostratus, Tachinus
scapularis, which are the least detected species of
this study, have only one specimen (Table 1).
As a result of zoogeographical evaluations, we
have detected that all of the species distribute in
Europe. The fauna of Ankara shares less species
with other zoogeographical regions, which are
Middle East (21 species), North Africa (20 species),
Far East (18 species), Middle Asia (18 species),
Siberia (18 species), Nearctic region (8 species),
Oriental region (5 species), Afrotropical region (5
species), Neotropical region (3 species), Australian

region (2 species). Distribution data of the species
in Palaearctic region shows that, eight species
(A. bilineata, A. bipustulata, A. tristis, Carpelimus
corticinus, Platystethus cornutus, Platystethus
nitens, Paederus fuscipes and Paederus littoralis)
distribute in the whole Palaearctic region
(including Europe, Asia, North Africa). 14 species
(A. haematoptera, A. intricata, A. lata, A. moesta,
Nehemitropia lividipennis, Falagria caesa, Falagria
sulcatula, Lesteva longoelytrata, Paederidus
ruficollis, Rugilus angustatus, Mycetoporus
baudueri, Lordithon trinotatus, Tachinus signatus
and Tachinus scapularis) distribute in Western
Palaearctic region (including, Europe, North
Africa and Middle East). Some of the detected
species distribute more restrictedly. As an
example, Lobrathium rugipenne only distributes
in several Balkan countries and Georgia and L.
rostratus distributes in Ordu and Rize provinces
of Turkey and Caucasus. These data show us that,
22 species broadly distribute. Zoogeographical
distributions of detected species are given in
Figure 7 and Table 1.
According to present literature on the family
Staphylinidae of Turkey [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13,
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 29, 31, 33, 36, 37,
38, 42] Aleochara bilineata, A. bipustulata, A.
haematoptera, A. moesta, A. tristis, Drusilla
canaliculata, Falagria caesa, F. sulcatula,
Nehemitropia lividipennis, Lesteva longoelytrata,
Lobrathium. rugipenne, Paederus littoralis,
Rugilus angustatus, Lordithon rostratus, Tachinus
signatus, T. scapularis, T. caucasicus are new
records for Ankara province and Mycetoporus
baudueri is a new record for Turkey. Furthermore,
the detailed locality for Falagria caesa, which was
previously reported from Turkey without detailed
locality, is given for the first time with this study.
After comparing the Staphylinidae fauna of
Ankara and geographical regions of Turkey (Figure
8), we determined that, most of the detected
species are shared with Central Anatolian region
because of the major part of Ankara province
is situated in this region. The minimum number
of detected species are shared with Eastern
Anatolian region and South Eastern Anatolian
Region which are the furthest regions to Ankara.
Although some part of Ankara is situated in the
Black Sea region, more number of species are
shared with Marmara, Aegean and Mediterranean
Regions than with the Black Sea region.
The species were collected between April and
August. When we examine the species distributions
according to months, 6 species in April, 17 species
each in May and June, 10 species in July and 3
species in August were collected (Figure 3). While

subfamilies.

the highest number of species were collected in
May and June, the least number of species were
collected in August. We thought that, warmer
weather in July and August in Turkey is the
probable reason for this. When we assess the
phenologies of the species according to collecting
periods, one species was collected only in April,
five species only in May, two species only in June,
two species only in July, two species in April and
May, one species in April and June, four species in
May and June, one species in May and July, three
species in June and July, one species in April, May
and June, one species in April, June and July, two
species in May, June and July, two species in May,
June and August, and one species in June, July
and August (Figure 4). According to this data, 10
species were collected for a one month period, 11
species were collected for two months period and
seven species were collected for three months
period.
The species were collected from different
altitudes, between 500 m–1750 m. Species
numbers according to altitudes was given at
Figure 5. With reference to this figure; 14 species
were collected between 500 and 750 m, 13 species
were collected between 751 and 1000 m, 16 species
were collected between 1001 and 1250 m, 11 species
were collected between 1251 and 1500 m and 8
species were collected between 1501 and 1750 m.
So, the highest number of species were collected
between 1000 and 1250 m and the least number
of species were collected between 1501 and
1750 m. While Aleochara bilineata, A. bipustulata
and Paederidus ruficollis were determined at
Figure 3. Number of collected species according to months.

all altitude ranges, Aleochara intricata, Drusilla
canaliculata, Falagria sulcatula, Nehemitropia
lividipennis, Lesteva longoelytrata, Platystethus
nitens, Lobrathium rugipenne, Rugilus angustatus
and Lordithon rostratus were determined at only
one altitude range (Table 1).
Species were collected from different habitats
(Figure 6). Most of the species were collected on
edge of streams. Followed by other habitats, which
are under stones, in soil and dung, under leaf,
debris and carcass, and on herbaceous vegetation
by using insect net. As a result of these findings,
it could be stated that detected species primarily
prefer moist habitats.
