    Sert, O; Turan, Y; Sabanoglu, B; Anlas, S; Firat, S
    The scope of this study is to make evaluations on faunistic, ecological and zoogeographical situation of the subfamily Paederinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) in the Central Anatolian Region of Turkey. As a result of the study, 31 species belonging to 7 subtribes and 12 genera have been determined by field trips between years 2009-2011 in the Central Anatolian Region. Among them, one species, Rugilus longicollis (Fauvel,1900), is reported as new record for Turkish fauna. Also three species, Scopaeus minutoides Coiffait 1969, Rugilus tauricus (Rougemont,1988) and Tetartopeus adanensis Assing,2004, were endemic for Turkey. Ten species Lathrobium wrasei Schulke,1990, Astenus immaculatus Stephens,1833, Paederus mesopotamicus Eppelsheim,1889, Paederus riparius (Linnaeus, 1758), Rugilus angustatus (Geoffray,1785), Rugilus orbiculatus (Paykull,1789), Rugilus rufipes Germar,1836, Scopaeus bicolor Baudi Di Selve, 1848, Scopaeus minutoides Coiffait,1969 and Tetartopeus adanensis Assing,2004 are reported as the first records for Central Anatolian Region.

    Faunistic Studies on the Genus Medon Stephens, 1833 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) in Turkey
    Örgel, S; Çiçek, K; Anlas, S
    In this study, 702 specimens belonging to the genus Medon Sephens were examined. The material was obtained from various field trips between 2010-2019 by using aspirator, sifter, pitfall trap, berlese funnel and MSS trap methods. As a result of the study, 15 of the 22 known 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 are reported for the first time. Besides, M. rufiventris (Nordmann, 1837) is recorded for the first time from both the Aegean and Central Anatolian Regions. In addition, many new locality records of the recorded species were presented. The distributions of all Medon species in Turkey were mapped.

    Discrimination of Paederus fuscipes and Paederus littoralis by mtDNA-COI PCR-RFLP
    Bazrafkan, S; Vatandoost, H; Heydari, A; Bakhshi, H; Panahi-Moghadam, S; Hashemi-Aghdam, S; Mohtarami, F; Rahimi-foroushan, A; Anlas, S; Shayeghi, M; Oshaghi, MA; Abtahi, SM
    Background: Linear dermatitis is endemic in Iran where most cases occur in the Caspian Sea coast and Fars province. The disease is caused by beetles of the genus Paederus which are active from early spring to beginning of autumn although its incidence rises from May to August. The classic taxonomy of Paederus spp. is based on the male genitalia that is very complex and needs expertise. In this study, we report a DNA-based method to discriminate Paederus fuscipes and Paederus littoralis (= syn: P. lenkoranus, P. ilsae). Methods: Type specimens were collected from north and south of Iran. Molecular typing of the species was performed using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified fragments of mtDNA-COI. Results: Sequence analyses of the data obtained in this study showed significant DNA polymorphisms. There were 89 substitutions between COI sequences of the two species. The mtDNA-COI fragment comprises several useful species-specific restriction sites comprising HaeIII that could result in distinctively different species-specific PCR-RFLP profiles. The HaeIII enzyme cuts the 872 bp PCR amplicon of P. littoralis into 737 and 100 bp and two small nonvisible bands whereas it does not cut P. fuscipes amplicon into fragments. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that molecular typing is useful method and allows one to differentiate between two species and is recommended for discrimination of other Paederus species, which morphologically are indistinguishable or very difficult to be distinguished.

    Current status of Dermaptera (Insecta) fauna of Turkey and Cyprus
    Anlas, S; Kocárek, P
    Dermaptera fauna of Turkey and Cyprus were evaluated on the basis of recently collected specimens, revisions of museum and private collections and data from the literature. New data are reported on the occurrence of 18 species from Turkey and three species from Cyprus. The total number of species known from Turkey is 19 and from Cyprus is six. Isolaboides kosswigi (Burr, 1947) is the only endemic species in the Turkish dermapteran fauna. The first precise records of Isolabella graeca Verhoeff, 1901 and Forficula lucasi Dohrn, 1865 from Turkey are Presented and the occurrence of Anechura zubovskii (Semenov, 1901) is confirmed by recent records. Forficula auricularia Linnaeus, 1758 is recorded from Cyprus for the first time. A key to the Dermaptera species of Turkey and Cyprus is also provided.

    On the subgenus Eurysunius Reitter of Turkey VII. Four new species from central Anatolia, and additional records (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae, Astenus)
    Anlas, S
    In the study, four new species of Astenus (Eurysunius) Dejean (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) are described and illustrated from central Anatolia, in Turkey, and distinguished from related consubgeners: Astenus veyseli Anlas, sp. n. (Sivas province), A. gultekini Anlas, sp. n. (Kirikkale province), A. kirani Anlas, sp. n. (Sivas province) and A. neseti Anlas, sp. n. (Kirsehir province). A key to Turkish species of Eurysunius is provided. The distributions of 22 species in Turkey are mapped. The subgenus Eurysunius was erected by Reitter (1909). It belongs to the genus Astenus Dejean (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae). The subgenus is so far known only from the Palaearctic region, ranging from Japan and South Korea to Canary Islands. To date, 64 species have been described in this subgenus, 63 of them occur in the Western Palaearctic and only one species is known from Japan and South Korea (Schulke & Smetana, 2015; Assing, 2015; Anlas, 2019). The vast majority of the species was recorded from Mediterranean countries. These species are distributed in Turkey (18 species), Spain (18 species), Italy (seven species), Morocco (seven species), Greece (five species), France (four species), Portugal (three species), Israel (two species), Algeria (one species) and Lebanon (one species). In Turkey, 17 of 18 species are endemic to this country (Anlas, 2019). Considering that none of the species was known prior to 2002, it seems likely that the diversity of Eurysunius in Turkey is far greater than currently known. The vast majority of Eurysunius species in Turkey are known from altitudes between 1500-2500 meters and most of
