Preliminary results of faunistic studies on the family Meloidae (Coleoptera) in Ankara Province
The family Meloidae (Coleoptera), commonly known as blister beetles, is almost a cosmopolitan family (except New Zealand, Antarctica and most Polynesian islands). It is also important because of their distinctive biology as well as being used in applied sciences. It has approximately 3000 species be...

In this study, a total of 2199 sample were collected by field study (33 days) between May and October 2018. The collection and species determinations of samples and field studies will continue in 2019 as well. Most of collected samples were determined. The remaining samples are still being determined. As a preliminary results, 2 subfamilies, 13 genera, 25 species and subspecies are detected. The most samples were collected from the herbaceous vegetation in July. Distributions of species between counties of Ankara were compared and evaluated. Comprasion was made based on similarity analysis. Similarity analyzes between faunas were done with MVSP 3.21 software using Baroni Urbani & Büser index of similarity. This study is a part master thesis titled as “Systematic Researches on the family Meloidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) of Ankara Province” and supported by Hacettepe University Scientific Research Project Coordination Unit with a project (Project number: FBA–2018–16318).
