Caterpillar (Lepidoptera) communities on oak (Quercus pubescens) in Ankara Province (Turkey)1

Çalışmada Quercus pubescens (Willdenow, 1796)'te beslenen lepidoptera takımına ait larva kommuniteleri incelenmiştir. Ankara il sınırları içinde bulunan meşe ağaçları üstünden 190 larva örneği 2013 ve 2014 yılları Nisan-Eylül ayları arasında toplanmış ve laboratuvar ortamında beslenmiştir. 14 familyaya ait 25 taksa şu şekilde teşhis edilmiştir: Geometridae 7, Noctuidae 4, Tortricidae ve Thyatiridae 2, Gelechiidae, Arctiidae, Gracillariidae, Lasiocampidae, Lymantriidae, Oecophoridae, Pyralidae, Yponomeutidae, Pterophoridae ve Lycaenidae'den ise 1'er tür olmak üzere toplam 25 taksa tespit edilmiştir. 4 tür Ankara, 2 tür ise Türkiye faunası için yeni kayıttır. Geometridae familyası tür sayısı ile meşede beslenen en kalabalık familya olarak belirlenmiştir. Familyalara ait birey sayıları değerlendirildiğinde ise Tortricidae familyasında yer alan Tortrix viridana (L., 1758) 37 birey ile ilk sırada yer alır. Eupithecia dodoneata Guenée, 1858 ve Cosmia trapezina L., 1758 larvalarının Q. pubescens ile beslenmesi yeni bir bulgudur.

Ankara ilinde (Türkiye) meşe üstündeki (Quercus pubescens)tırtıl (Lepidoptera) kommuniteleri

Lepidopteran larval communities feeding on Quercus pubescens (Willdenow) in Turkey were examined. A total of 190 larval specimens were collected from trees within Ankara Province between the months April and September in both 2013 and 2014 and were further fed under laboratory conditions. Twenty-five taxa belonging to 14 families were identified as follows; seven Geometridae, four Noctuidae, two Tortricidae, two Thyatiridae and one species for each of the Gelechiidae, Arctiidae, Gracillariidae, Lasiocampidae, Lymantriidae, Oecophoridae, Pyralidae, Yponomeutidae, Pterophoridae and Lycaenidae families. Four species are new records for Ankara Province and two species are new for the fauna of Turkey. The Geometridae family was the most represented family feeding on oak trees. Tortrix viridana (L., 1758) (Tortricidae) was the most abundant species with 37 individuals. Feeding activity of both Eupithecia dodoneata Guenée, 1858 and Cosmia trapezina L., 1758 at the larval stage on Q. pubescens is a new finding.
