Contributions to Achenium Leach, 1819 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae) fauna of Turkey

Abstract

In this study, total of 388 specimens of the genus Achenium Leach, 1819 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) were collected by aspirator and sifter methods from different provinces of Aegean and Central Anatolia Regions of Turkey between 2014 and 2019. As a result of the field studies, five species of the genus were recorded. These species wereAchenium anatolicum Jarrige, 1952; A. humile (Nicolai, 1822); A. propontiacum Bordoni, 2009; A. scimbalioides Koch, 1937 and A. turcicum Coiffait, 1971. Of the recorded species; A. humile from the Aegean Region and A. turcicum from Central Anatolia Region were the first recorded for the area. A. turcicum was reported for the first time outside the type locality and its distribution was found to be much wider than previously known. A. turcicum and A. anatolicum were the endemic species for Anatolia.
