ABSTRACT: Evaluated on insect species in various ecologies have been conducted in the
provinces (Adıyaman, Batman, Gaziantep, Diyarbakır, Mardin, Siirt, Şanlıurfa, Şırnak) of
Southeastern Anatolia region between the years 1948-2019. During this study totally 208
species were found in 10 families and in 5 superfamilies of Heteroptera. Those superfamilies
are Reduvioidea, Tingoidea, Aradoidea, Coreoidea and Lygaeoidea. The distribution of
determined insect types according to the provinces, plant hosting and feeding type is also
done. Information about their host plants, and distribution in Southeastern Anatolia Region
was presented as detailed.
KEY WORDS: Insect fauna, Heteroptera, Southeastern Anatolia region, Turkey
Insects (Insecta) are the most numerous group of animals in the world, with
over one million species that have been described (Price, 1997). Insects are
difficult to study because they represent the most species-rich, yet one of the least
known, of all taxa of living organisms, a problem that is compounded by a dearth
of skilled entomologists. Although the number of described insect species is
uncertain due to synonyms and the lack of a global list, most authorities recognize
900 000–1 000 000 named morpho-species, representing 56% of all species
known on Earth (Groombridge, 1992; Anonymous, 2003). Sensible estimates of
the number of insects yet to be discovered range from another 1 million to 30
million species (Erwin 1982, 1991), although most predict around 2–8 million
more species (May, 1990; Gaston, 1991; Stork, 1997; Ødegaard,
2000).Conservative estimates suggest that 50–90% of the existing insect species
on Earth have still to be discovered, yet the named insects alone comprise more
than half of all known species of organism.
Insects constitute the most diverse form of animal life in terrestrial
ecosystems. Most species are innocuous and essential components of natural
ecosystems. Because they are cold-blooded, the rates of key physiological
processes in their life cycles are determined by environmental conditions,
especially temperature and precipitation. In general they have short generation
times, high fecundity and high mobility (Moore & Allard, 2008).
Turkey in fact seems to be like a small continent in terms of biological
diversity. Despite the Anatolia is not a continent alone, it contains all properties of
a continent that should have an ecosystem and habitat. Each of seven
geographical regions in Turkey has a distinguishable climate, flora and fauna.
This study aims to determine insect species found in various ecologies on
Southeastern Anatolia.
Heteroptera includes 9365 species belonging to 1632 genera in Palaearctic
Region (Aukema et al., 2013).

Heteroptera includes 1526 species and subspecies belonging to 40 families in
Turkey (Önder et al., 2006).
This study aims to determine insect species found in various ecologies on
Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Entomology studies on insect species of Southeastern Anatolia Region
(Adıyaman, Batman, Gaziantep, Diyarbakır, Mardin, Siirt, Şanlıurfa, Şırnak) in
different ecological provinces were made between the years 1948-2019 (Fig. 1).
In this study, I prepared for the inventory has reached the major advantage of
the waterways:
-Currently in Turkey, published or unpublished entomology journals related
to scanning,
-Giving more weight to faunistic studies, and in the meantime, the insect
fauna of our country foreign scientific journals that publishes articles about
scanning,
-Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Science and Regional Plant Protection
Research Institute in the library of books on insect fauna and the screening of the
booklet,
-The doctorate (PhD) and the master's thesis of entomology in the region on
the scanning,
-Review of other studies on the insect fauna in the area.
In this study, I evaluated the information as described above were obtained.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Surveys on insect species in various ecologies have been conducted in the
provinces (Adıyaman, Batman, Gaziantep, Diyarbakır, Mardin, Siirt, Şanlıurfa,
Şırnak) of Southeastern Anatolia region between the years 1948-2019. Almost
2600 species and subspecies almost 180 families belonging to 13 insect orders are
defined owing to these studies. The distributions of determined insect species are
as follows: suborder Heteroptera included 10 families were recorded (Table 1).
