Systematical, zoogeographical and faunistical researches on longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of Gevne valley and Geyik mountains

In this study, 2288 insect specimens collected from various localities in Geyik Mountains (Geyik Mountain, Şeytan Mountain, Yıldız Mountain, Ak Mountain) and Gevne Valley between April and September in the years of 2006-2008 were evaluated. As a result of identification of these specimens 83 Cerambycidae species were determined from the study area. 26 species for Konya province, 16 species for Antalya province, 40 species for the studied area, 6 species for Central Anatolian Region and 2 species for Mediterranean Region are the first record. 1 species [Cortodera differens Pic, 1898] is also the first record for Turkish fauna. Besides, Stictoleptura gevneensis Özdikmen & Turgut, 2008 and Tetrops praeustus anatolicus Özdikmen & Turgut, 2008 and Pilemia samii sp.n. are new described taxa for science. Four dominant chorotypes are determined in terms of zoogeography from the research area. These are; Endemic species, E-Mediterranean species, Turano-European species and Turano-Mediterranean species.
