2nd International Symposium on Biodiversity Research, Rize, Turkey, 18 - 20 November 2020, Rize, Türkiye, 18 - 20 Kasım 2020, cilt.1, ss.116-139

The faunistic studies were conducted to determine insect species belonging to the genus Dorcadion

Dalman, 1817 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) collected from some districts of Erzurum province (Aşkale,

Aziziye, Çat, İspir, Horasan Oltu, Palandöken, Yakutiye) during the years of 2018-2019 and protected in

EMET (Entomology Museum, Erzurum, Turkey) where the insect species were collected from different

provinces of Turkey in previous studies. In the result of this study, 25 species and subspecies

(Cribridorcadion Pic, 1901 (24) and Maculatodorcadion Breuning, 1966 (1)) were found. These are: Dorcadion

(C.) bisignatum Jakovlev, 1899, Dorcadion (C.) mesopotamicum Breuning, 1944, Dorcadion (C.) scabricolle

balikesirense Breuning, 1962, Dorcadion (C.) catenatum catenatum Waltl 1838, Dorcadion (C.) mniszechi Kraatz,

1873, Dorcadion (C.) scabricolle shirakense Lazarev, 2020, Dorcadion (C.) catenatum loratum Thomson, 1867,

Dorcadion (C.) nitidum Motschulsky, 1838, Dorcadion (C.) scabricolle korbianum Lazarev, 2020, Dorcadion (C.)

catenatum mytilinense Kraatz, 1873, Dorcadion (C.) nobile ivani Pesarini and Sabbadini, 2011, Dorcadion (C.)

sodale Hampe, 1852, Dorcadion (C.) coiffaiti Breuning, 1962, Dorcadion (C.) oezdurali Önalp, 1988, Dorcadion

(C.) subsericatum Pic, 1901, Dorcadion (C.) crux Billberg, 1817, Dorcadion (C.) olympicum Ganglbauer, 1882,

Dorcadion (C.) wagneri Küster, 1846, Dorcadion (C.) dimidiatum dimidiatum Motschulsky, 1838, Dorcadion (C.)

piochardi Kraatz, 1873, Dorcadion (M.) triste Frivaldszky, 1845, Dorcadion (C.) haemarrhoidale Hampe, 1852,

Dorcadion (C.) scabricolle lazistanum Lazarev, 2020, Dorcadion (C.) infernale infernale Mulsant and Rey, 1863 and

Dorcadion (C.) scabricolle salhanum Lazarev, 2020. From these species; D. (C.) coiffaiti is the new report for

Kütahya, D. (C.) crux for Isparta, D. (C.) dimidiatum dimidiatum and D. (C.) nitidum for Ardahan, D. (C.)

haemarrhoidale for Gümüşhane, D. (C.) mesopotamicum for Diyarbakır and Yalova, D. (C.) oezdurali for

Erzincan, D. (C.) olympicum for Kars and D. (C.) wagneri for Diyarbakır, Muş and Yalova provinces. D. (C.)

wagneri, D. (C.) scabricolle lazistanum, D. (C.) scabricolle shirakense and D. (C.) nitidum are having higher

population than others species. The great majorty of determined species were collected from under stones

and grass plants. In this study, the distribution of Dorcadion species were added new localities, too. Useful

information has been provided for researchers work on this issue in the following years.
