ABSTRACT: In this study, an updated list of the Turkish Lygaoeidea superfamily (excluding Rhyparochromidae) is presented along with the results obtained from field studies carried out in 91 localities with different habitat characteristics in 5 Provinces in the Thrace Region between 2015 and 2020. As a result of the evaluation of materials collected in the region, 53 species belonging to 7 families were identified of which 16 are first records for Turkish Thrace. The first exact locality records were given for two species from the Thrace Region. In addition, as a result of reviewing the studies carried out in Türkiye so far, it has been determined that 49 genera and 146 species/subspecies belonging to 10 families (Artheneidae, Berytidae, Blissidae, Cymidae, Geocoridae, Heterogastridae, Lygaeidae, Oxycarenidae, Pachygronthidae, Piesmatidae) from the Lygaeoidea superfamily are distributed, but 7 of these species need to be confirmed. The distributions of the species are handled separately for the European part (Thrace) of Türkiye and the Asian part (Anatolia). With the 16 new records obtained in this study, 71 species are from European Türkiye and 137 species are from Asian Türkiye (2 species are distributed only in European Türkiye, 68 species only in Asian Türkiye and 69 species in both parts). The type localities of 7 species are in Türkiye (Anatolia) and 2 species of them are endemic to Anatolia.

ABSTRACT: The food plants, habitat type and Turkish distribution of Rhopalus (Aeschyntelus) maculatus (Fieber, 1837) was studied in this paper In addition, this study provides the second record of this species from Çankırı province. The specimens were collected from Işık Mountains, in this province.

ABSTRACT:In this study, which was conducted to determine the Reduviidae fauna of Edirne Province, the material collected between 1992-2014 was evaluated and as a result, 6 genera and 11 species belonging to 4 subfamilies (Harpactorinae Peiratinae Reduviinae Stenopodainae) were identified. Of these species, Coranus kerzhneri P.V. Putshkov, 1982 from the Harpoctorinae subfamily is the first record for the Thrace Region.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to determine the effects of two different doses (450 ppm, 600 ppm and 670 ppm) of intermittent carbon dioxide (CO2) application on the time required for individuals of Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) to reach the adult stage, under controlled conditions, targeting the 1st and 3rd nymphal instars. As a result of the study, it was evaluated that CO2 applications made at both doses had a statistical effect on nymphal development times compared to the control application (450 ppm). It was determined that in the control dose, the time from the 1st nymphal stage to the adult varied between 44-55 days, while in 600 ppm dose this period was 60 days, and in 670 ppm this period was approximately 67 days. It was determined that in the control dose, the time from the 3rd nymphal stage to the adult varied between 34-39 days, while in 600 ppm it was 44 days, and in 670 ppm it was 51 days. According to the obtained results, it was understood that the time to reach the adult increased depending on the dose compared to the control application. In studies, revealing the differences in different nymphal stages of the pest and different durations of exposure to carbon dioxide is important in terms of determining both the effects of gas exchange on the behavioral parameters of the pest and the effects of atmospheric gas exchange in the control of the pest.

ABSTRACT: This study reviewed faunistic and systematic studies on the Heteroptera fauna collected from numerous localities in Anatolia, particularly Eastern Anatolia between 1963 and 2017 and their distribution and biogeography are analyzed material in Atatürk University Biodiversity Science Museum, Erzurum, Türkiye (ABBM). Totally, 407 species in 221 genera belonging to the following 30 families are recorded. It was determined that 357 species were from Eastern Anatolia, 105 species from South-eastern Anatolia, 156 species from Black Sea, 171 species from Central Anatolia, 201 species from Mediterranea, 121 species from Aegean and 146 species from Marmara. Species composition, diversity and proportion of endemism varies considerably among the geographic regions of the country.

ABSTRACT: The article presents the first records of Deraeocoris ruber (Linnaeus, 1758) and Deraeocoris rutilus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1838) from Uzbekistan. These species were discovered in the mountainous regions of Uzbekistan, in the Tien Shan and Pamir-Alay mountain ranges. These records expand the known distributions of both species significantly towards Central Asia.
