Abstract

Insects communicate with each other and the environment in different ways such as sound, smell and taste. One of the ways to communicate is through the sense of sound. In insects, sound is received through the tympanal organ. It is known that the tympanal organ structure and placements can be used in the classification of higher categories. In this study, hypothesis regarding to the usage of the tympanal organ features can also be used in the classification of was tested. For this purpose, tympanal morphology of the four taxa (Evergestis frumentalis (Linnaeus, 1761) E. flavifuscalis Rebel, 1903, E. mundalis (Guenée, 1854) and E. umbrosalis (Fischer von Röslerstamm, 1841)) belonging to the Evergestis genus in the Evergestinae subfamily were examined, analyzed and photographed.

We thank Dr. Muhabbet Kemal Koçak for allowing us to evaluate using adult and tympanal photographs of 3 species of the genus Evergestis.

Yetişkin Evergestis Hübner [1825]'in timpanal organ morfolojisinin karşılaştırılması (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

Abstract

Böcekler birbirleriyle ve çevreyle ses, koku, tat gibi farklı yollarla iletişim kurarlar. İletişim kurmanın yollarından biri ses duyusudur. Böceklerde ses, kulak zarı organı yoluyla alınır. Timpanal organ yapısı ve yerleşimlerinin daha üst kategorilerin sınıflandırılmasında kullanılabileceği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada timpanal organ özelliklerinin alt kategorilerin sınıflandırılmasında da kullanılabileceğine ilişkin hipotez test edilmiştir. Bu amaçla, Evergestinae alt familyasında yer alan Evergestis cinsine ait dört taksonun (Evergestis frumentalis (Linnaeus, 1761) E. flavifuscalis Rebel, 1903, E. mundalis (Guenée, 1854) ve E. umbrosalis (Fischer von Röslerstamm, 1841)) timpanal morfolojisi incelendi, analiz edildi ve fotoğraflandı.
