Contributions to the knowledge of Iranian aquatic polyphaga (Coleoptera) fauna

Bu çalışmada, İran’ın Guilan, Mazandaran, Qazvin, Sanandaj ve Tehran bölgelerinde 13 cins ve 3 familyaya ait 42 sucul böcek türünün varlığı tespit edildi. Numuneler 2008 ve 2009 yılları arasında toplandı. 11 tür İran’dan ilk kez kaydedildi, kaydedilen bu türlerin İran ve dünya genelindeki dağılımları sunuldu.

İran’ın sucul polyphaga (Coleoptera) faunasına katkılar

In this study, we established the presence of 42 aquatic beetle (Coleoptera: Hydrophiloidea) species belonging to 13 genera and 3 families (Helophoridae, Hydrochidae and Hydrophilidae) in Guilan, Mazandaran, Qazvin, Sanandaj and Tehran provinces of Iran. The specimens were collected between 2008 and 2009. Eleven species were recorded from Iran for the first time, and distributions in Iran and worldwide of these newly recorded species are presented.
