TAXONOMICAIi STUDIES ON THE SPECIES OP PAPILIONOIDEA AND HESPERIOIDEA OP IŞIK DA?I (LEP IDOPTERA, INSECTA ) (Master Thesis) Hüseyin ÖZDİKMEN GAZİ UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OP SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY February 1989 ABSTRACT, la this study, the wing venations, one of the most important taxonomical characters of the adult Lepidoptera, are evaluated.Por this purpose, totally 270 specimens, belonging to 45 species and 6 families, were collected by the author from various parts of Işık. Dağı during the summer, from April to September, in the year of 1987. In order to examine the morphological and numerical features of the veins, all wing parts of the species collected were prepared as slides for microscopic studies.Numerous qualitative and quantitative characters were studied comparatively. As a result of these, qualitative characters are particularly found to be applicable for discriminating the taxa at the species-, the genus-, and the family categories. 11.
