Faunistic Studies on the Genus Medon Stephens, 1833 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) in Turkey

In this study, 702 specimens belonging to the genus Medon Sephenswere examined. The material was obtained from various field tripsbetween 2010-2019 by using aspirator, sifter, pitfall trap, berlesefunnel and MSS trap methods. As a result of the study, 15 of the 22known species from Turkey were identified. Medon brunneus(Erichson, 1839), M. ferrugineus (Erichson, 1840), M. lanugo Assing,2004 and M. subfusculus Fagel, 1969 from the Aegean Region, M.semiobscurus (Fauvel, 1875), M. abantensis Bordoni, 1980 and M.lamellatus Assing, 2004 from the Central Anatolian Region arereported for the first time. Besides, M. rufiventris (Nordmann, 1837)is recorded for the first time from both the Aegean and CentralAnatolian Regions. In addition, many new locality records of therecorded species were presented. The distributions of all Medonspecies in Turkey were mapped.

Türkiye’deki Medon Stephens, 1833 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) Cinsine Bağlı Türler Üzerinde Faunistik Araştırmalar

Bu çalışmada, Medon Stephens cinsine ait 702 birey incelenmiştir. İncelenen materyal, 2010-2019 yılları arasında aspiratör, elek, çukur tuzak, berlese hunisi ve MSS tuzak yöntemleri kullanılarak yapılan arazi çalışmalarından elde edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda Türkiye'den bilinen 22 türden 15'i tespit edilmiştir. Bu türlerden, Medon brunneus (Erichson, 1839), M. ferrugineus (Erichson, 1840), M. lanugo Assing, 2004 ve M. subfusculus Fagel, 1969 Ege Bölgesi’nden, M. semiobscurus (Fauvel, 1875), M. abantensis Bordoni, 1980 and M. lamellatus Assing, 2004 İç Anadolu Bölgesi’nden ilk kez rapor edilmiştir. Ayrıca, M. rufiventris (Nordmann, 1837) Ege ve İç Anadolu Bölgeleri’nden ilk kez kaydedilmiştir. Ek olarak, birçok türe ait yeni lokalite kaydı verilmiştir. Türlerin Türkiye’deki yayılışları haritalandırılmıştır.
