In this study, samples of Dryopidae, Heteroceridae and
Spercheidae (Coleoptera) were collected from the shallow areas of lakes, ponds,
rivers and small puddles in Erzurum province (Türkiye) between 2015 and 2020
with sieves of 3.15 x 1 mm pore size (mesh size 500 µm). A total of 4 different
species were found. Two individuals from Dryops griseus (Erichson, 1847)
species; 1 individual from the species Dryops jeanneli Bollow 1938; 2
individuals of Heterocerus fenestratus Thunberg 1784; and 2 individuals of Spercheus
emarginatus (Schaller, 1783) species were caught. The collected samples were
evaluated based on their morphological and ecological characteristics. While D.
griseus was recorded for the first time in Türkiye, D. jeanneli and S. emarginatus
are the third examples of species recorded in Türkiye. Additionally, these two
species were recorded for the first time in the Eastern Anatolia region. H. fenestratus,
collected from the Eastern Anatolia Region by another researcher, was also
found during the study. The lateral parameters of the species' aedeagophores
collapse from the middle towards the interior. Aedeagophore photographs and
distribution data in the country and worldwide are discussed in the article.
The average temperature and chemical parameters (electrical conductivity, pH,
total nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, total phosphorus and water temperature) of
the water bodies where the four different species were collected were found to
be close to each other. To comprehend the life cycle, ecological data, along
with morphological descriptions and vegetation information for each species are
described.
