New data to the knowledge of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) fauna of Iran

Bu çalışmada 2007 ve 2008 yıllarında İran’ın kuzeydoğusundaki Razavi ve Güney Horasan illerinde farklı tarım alanlarında yaşayan Carabidae üzerine faunistik araştırmalar yapılmıştır. Carabidae familyasına ait 69 örnek toplanmış ve incelenmiştir. Teşhislerin sonucunda 4 altfamilyanın 10 cinsine ait olan, 19 tür ve 6 alttür tespit edilmiştir. Horasan ilinin Carabidae faunasına 11 yeni tür eklenmiştir. Bu türler içinde 3 tür [Dixus clypeatus P. Rossi, 1790, Poecilus (Poecilus) punctulatus Schaller, 1783 ve Pterostichus (Melanius) elongatus Duftschmid, 1812] İran için ilk kez kaydedilmiştir. Bu illerden daha önce kaydedilen 2 tür bu çalışmada kaydedilmemiştir. Bu çalışmayla İran’ın Carabidae’leri (Coleoptera) üzerine yeni faunistik bilgiler ve bazı zoocoğrafik değerlendirmeler sunulmuştur.

İran’ın Carabidae (Coleoptera) faunasına yeni katkılar

During 2007 and 2008, a faunistic survey of ground beetles inhabiting agricultural crops in different locations of the North-eastern region of Iran including provinces of Razavi and South Khorasan was carried out. In total, 69 specimens of family Carabidae were collected and examined. As a result of identification, 19 species and 6 subspecies belonging to 10 genera of 4 subfamilies were determined. 11 new species are added to the fauna of Khorasan provinces, including 3 species namely Dixus clypeatus P. Rossi, 1790, Poecilus (Poecilus) punctulatus Schaller, 1783 and Pterostichus (Melanius) elongatus Duftschmid, 1812 which are here recorded for the first time from Iran. 2 species previously reported in the literature were not encountered in the survey. With this paper, new faunistic data and some zoogeographical evaluations are presented on ground beetles fauna (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of Iran.
