TÜRKİYE’DE CORDULEGASTER (INSECTA: ODONATA) CİNSİNİN DURUMU VE CORDULEGASTER PİCTA’DA GÖRÜLEN VARYASYONLAR

Bu çalışmada Cordulegaster cinsinin Türkiye’deki dağılımı ve sistematik durumu ile ilgili yapılan çalışmalar ele alınmış ve çeşitli lokalitelere ait C. picta örnekleri incelenerek bunlara ait varyasyonlar ortaya konmuştur. Türkiye’de bu cins 3 tane tür (C. insignis, C.myzmtae ve C.picta) ile temsil edilmektedir. C.picta özellikle abdominal segmentteki desenlenmelerde orijinal tanımda verilenden farklılık göstermektedir ve farklı tanımlamalara sebep olabilmektedir. Bu nedenle bu varyasyonların tespiti taksonomik açıdan oldukça önemlidir.

SITUATION OF THE GENUS CORDULEGASTER (INSECTA: ODONATA) IN TURKEY AND VARIATIONS IN CORDULEGASTER PİCTA

In this study, the studies related systematic situation and distribution of the genus Cordulegaster in Turkey have been discussed and variations in C.picta have been revealed by examining specimens of these species in different localities. This genus is represented by three species (C. insignis, C.myzmtae and C.picta) in Turkey. C. picta especially spots on abdominal segments show differences from original definition and it may lead to different definitions. Therefore, determination of these variations is very important in terms of the taxonomic.
