Abstract

The Zygaenidae fauna in some provinces (Aksaray, Karaman, Kayseri, Konya, Nevşehir and Niğde) of Central Anatolia was studied using attractant traps as well as by netting specimens in biotopes in 2017. The sex attractants for the Procridinae had been produced in the Crimean Federal University and were esters of 2-dodecenoic acid and isomers of 2-butanol: EFETOV-2 [racemic mixture of R- and S-enantiomers], EFETOV-S-2 [R-enantiomer] and EFETOV-S-S-2 [S-enantiomer]. Zygaena attractants were made at Canterbury Christ Church University using a range of acetate compounds with known attraction to various genera as originally identified by Priesner et al. (1984). Fourteen Zygaenidae species from four genera belonging to Procridinae and Zygaeninae subfamilies were found: Rhagades Wallengren, 1863 (1 species), Adscita Retzius, 1783 (1 species), Jordanita Verity, 1946 (4 species), and Zygaena Fabricius, 1775 (8 species).

Orta Anadolu Bölgesi (Türkiye) Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) faunası üzerine bir araştırma

Abstract

Orta Anadolu’nun bazı illerinde (Aksaray, Karaman, Kayseri, Konya, Nevşehir ve Niğde) Zygaenidae faunasını belirlemek için 2017 yılında, türlerin yaşam alanlarında, çekici tuzaklar ve atrap kullanılarak çalışılmıştır. Procridinae alt familyası için cinsel çekiciler 2-asit esterleri ve 2-butanol isomerleri: EFETOV-2 [R- ve S-enantiyomerlerinin rasemik karışımı], EFETOV-S-2 [R-enantiyomer] ve EFETOV-S-S-2 [S-enantiyomer] kullanılarak, Crimean Federal Üniversitesinde üretilmiştir. Zygaena türleri için çekiciler, Priesner et al. (1984) tarafından ilk defa tanımlanan ve birçok cins için çekici olduğu bilinen asetat bileşimlerinin farklı oranları kullanılarak Canterbury Christ Church Üniversitesinde hazırlanmıştır. Procridinae ve Zygaeninae alt familyalarına ait, 4 cinse giren, on dört Zygaenidae türü bulunmuştur: Rhagades Wallengren, 1863 (1 tür), Adscita Retzius, 1783 (1 tür), Jordanita Verity, 1946 (4 tür) ve Zygaena Fabricius, 1775 (8 tür).
