Abstract
This study was carried out by visiting the designated areas at least twice between the months of April and October of each year between 2014 and 2016 to determine the phytophagous Syrphidae species in Antalya (Korkuteli), Afyonkarahisar (Dazkırı, Dinar), Burdur, Isparta (all districts), and Konya (Beyşehir) located within the borders of the Lakes Region. Adult syrphid individuals were collected from trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants using sweep-net and mouth aspirator from agricultural areas, uncultivated lands and forest areas rich in vegetation and flowering plants in 46 different sampling points. As a result of the study, a total of 48 phytophagous species belonging to the genera Cheilosia (7), Eumerus (13) and Merodon (28) were found. Merodon nigritarsis (17 %), Merodon aff. bessarabicus (8 %), Merodon spinitarsis (6,25 %), Eumerus bicornis (6,16 %), Merodon crassifemoris (6,16 %) Merodon italicus (5,5 %), Merodon avidus (5 %), Cheilosia soror (3.2 %) and Merodon alagoezicus (2,6 %) were determined as the most abundant and common species.
