Fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) fauna of Çorum and Sinop Provinces with two new records for Turkey

Abstract

The fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) fauna of Çorum and Sinop Provinces in Turkey were determined. Specimens were collected between 2015 and 2018 from possible host plants. The specimens were examined and diagnosed under stereo microscope after preparation of the collected materials in laboratory. Sixty-six species and 24 genera belonging to five subfamilies were determined for the fruit fly fauna of Çorum and Sinop Provinces. The genus Acidia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 as well as the species Acidia cognata (Wiedemann, 1817) and Carpomya wiedemanni (Meigen, 1826) are reported for the first time for the fruit fly fauna of Turkey. In addition to wing photographs and information on species determined from the research region, host plants, world distribution, body and female genitalia photographs of new records are also presented.
