    Distribution of Scoliidae (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) of Turkey with their zoogeographic characterization
    (2011) Özbek H.; Anlas S.
    In the present study, 18 species in the family Scoliidae (Hymenoptera) are reported from various parts of Turkey. Based on a review of the literature it was found that 22 species and subspecies in seven genera belonging to two subfamilies, which are connected with Scoliidae family from Turkey, have been presented. Additionally, a checklist is provided for the Turkish scoliids. The plants visited by the recorded scoliids are also indicated. The main chorological categories of Turkish Scoliidae species are represented as follows: Palearctic (2 species), Centralasiatic-European (6), Centralasiatic- Mediterranean (1), Turano-Mediterranean (4), Turano-E-Mediterranean (1), Turanian (6), SW-Asiatic (1), E-Mediterranean (1).

    Contribution to the pselaphinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) of Anatolia, Turkey
    (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 2015) Bekchiev R.; Brachat V.; Anlas S.; Özgen I.; Yagmur E.A.; Örgel S.; Gjonov I.; Kostova R.
    As result of a short expedition during early spring in Western Turkey (Izmir, Aydin, Manisa and Denizli provinces), two new species, Bythinus beshkovi sp. n. and Bryaxis pumilus sp. n., have been discovered and are described here; the aedeagus and first two basal antennomeres of Bryaxis anatolicus Saulcy, 1878 are illustrated; faunistical data for 16 species are given, and photos of the habitus of the genera Namunia and Tremissus are provided for the first time.

    Discrimination of Paederus fuscipes and Paederus littoralis by mtDNA-COI PCR-RFLP
    (Tehran University of Medical Sciences, 2016) Bazrafkan S.; Vatandoost H.; Heydari A.; Bakhshi H.; Panahi-Moghadam S.; Hashemi-Aghdam S.; Mohtarami F.; Rahimiforoushan A.; Anlas S.; Shayeghi M.; Oshaghi M.A.; Abtahi S.M.
    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.

    The subgenus eurysunius reitter, 1909 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae: Astenus dejean, 1833) in Turkey: A new species from central anatolia
    (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 2018) Anlas S.
    Astenus (Eurysunius) melendizicus sp. n. from Melendiz Mountain, Nigde Province, Central Anatolia is described, illustrated and distinguished from related species. Totally, 16 species of this subgenus are known from Turkey. Additional records are reported for three species from Mediterranean countries: Astenus (Eurysunius) gusarovi Anlas, 2015 from Turkey, A. (Eurysunius) trisetulosus Coiffait, 1971 from Spain and A. (Eurysunius) beirensis Coiffait, 1973 from Portugal. The distribution of the species of the subgenus Eurysunius in Turkey is mapped. © 2018 Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.

    Notes on the genus Astenus Dejean, 1833 in the Mediterranean and adjacent regions. A new species from Turkey, seven new synonyms, and additional records (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae)
    (Magnolia Press, 2020) Anlas S.
    Based on the study of types and additional material, new taxonomic and faunistic data on some species of the genus Astenus from the Mediterranean and adjacent regions are presented. Astenus henrii sp. n. from Turkey is described, illustrated, and distinguished from related congeners. The following new synonyms are proposed: Astenus procerus (Gravenhorst, 1806) = A. rufopacus Reitter, 1909 syn. n. = A. circumflexus circumflexus Jarrige, 1952 syn. n. = A. circumflexus scutellaris Coiffait, 1970 syn. n. = A. obliquus Jarrige, 1952 syn. n. = A. baali Coiffait, 1960 syn. n.; A. melanurus (Köster, 1853) = A. adonis Coiffait, 1960 syn. n.; A.Thoracicus (Baudi di Selve, 1857) =A. jordanicus Coiffait, 1981 syn. n. © 2020 Magnolia Press.
