A new species and additional records of genus Drusilla Leach, 1819 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) from Turkey
Abstract
A study was conducted on the fauna of the genus Drusilla Leach, 1819 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) in Anatolia. The aim of this study was to contribute to biodiversity research by describing a new species, also, to provide a better understanding of the distributions of known species. The field trips were made in different provinces of Turkey between 2010-2019. Specimens were collected by hand and pitfall traps. Drusilla anlasi sp. n. from East Menteşe Mountains in Muğla Province, western Anatolia, is originally described. Additional records are given for six of the nine known species from Anatolia. The distributions of the known species are discussed and distribution maps are given. The diagnostic characters of the new species and sexual characters of the Drusilla lydica Assing, 2007, Drusilla recta Assing, 2005 and Drusilla canaliculata (Fabricius, 1787) are illustrated. A key to the Drusilla species of Anatolia is presented.

Türkiye’den Drusilla Leach, 1819 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) cinsine bağlı yeni bir tür ve ek kayıtlar
Abstract
Anadolu'da Drusilla Leach,1819 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) cinsinin faunası üzerine bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yeni bir tür tanımlayarak biyoçeşitlilik araştırmalarına katkıda bulunmak, ayrıca, bilinen türlerin dağılımlarının daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamaktır. Arazi çalışmaları 2010-2019 yılları arasında Türkiye'nin farklı illerinde yapılmıştır. Örnekler elle ve çukur tuzaklarla toplanmıştır. Batı Anadolu'nun Muğla İli’ndeki Doğu Menteşe Dağları'ndan, Drusilla anlasi sp. n. türünün orijinal deskripsiyonu yapılmıştır. Anadolu'dan bilinen dokuz türden altısı için ek kayıtlar verilmiştir. Bilinen türlerin dağılımı tartışılmış ve dağılım haritaları verilmiştir. Yeni türün ayırıcı karakterleri ve Drusilla lydica Assing, 2007, Drusilla recta Assing, 2005 ve Drusilla canaliculata (Fabricius, 1787) türlerinin eşeysel karakterleri şekillendirilmiştir. Anadolu'daki Drusilla türleri için bir tanı anahtarı sunulmuştur.
