Fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) Fauna of Amasya and Samsun Provinces, with Two New Records for Turkey

Abstract

In this study, the fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) fauna of Amasya and Samsun Provinces were determined by adult fruit fly specimens collected from host plants in spring and summer between 2015 and 2018. The specimens were collected from host plants with sweeping nets, and killed in ethyl acetate jars. The collected materials were examined as morphological and the species were diagnosed under a stereo microscope. Fifty-six species and 21 genera belonging to five subfamilies were determined for the fruit fly fauna of Amasya and Samsun Provinces. The genera Anomoia Walker and Philophylla Rondani as well as the species Anomoia purmunda (Harris) and Philophylla caesio (Harris) are recorded for the first time for the fauna of Turkey. Material examined and wing photographs belonging to all the species determined in research region are given. In addition to adult body and aculeus figures, their host plants and zoogeographic distribution of the new record species are presented for the fauna of Turkey.
