A NEW SPECIES AND SOME NEW RECORDS OF THE GENUS OXYCERA (DIPTERA: STRATIOMYIDAE) FROM TURKEY

摘要

Anew species, Oxycera quadrilineata sp. n., is described from Turkey and diagnosticcharacters are illustrated and compared with four related species. Oxycera galeata (Lindner, 1975),Oxycera grata Loew, 1869 and Oxycera pardalina Meigen, 1822 are recorded for the fauna of Turkeyfor the first time. Only seven species of Oxycera (Stratiomyidae) have been recorded fromTurkey (Ustiiner et al. 2002, Ustiiner and Hasbenli 2004, Woodley 2001). Thesespecies are Oxycera insolata Kiihbandner, 1984, Oxycera limbata Loew, 1862,Oxycera meigenii Staeger, 1844, Oxycera nigricornis Olivier, 1811, Oxycerapygmaea (Fallen, 1817), Oxycera trilineata (Linnaeus, 1767) and Oxycera turcica Ustiiner and Hasbenli, 2004. During our investigations of Turkish Stratiomyidae in the Tahtali Mountains of Turkey, we discovered four species which represent interesting additions to the Oxycera fauna of Turkey. One of these species isa new species distinctly differing from the related species Oxycera pardalinaMeigen, 1822, Oxycera limbata Loew, 1862, Oxycera insolata Kiihbandner,1984 and Oxycera trilineata (Linnaeus, 1767). Three of these species are recorded for the first time in Turkey.
