Abstract
This study was based upon material of the family Tachinidae (Diptera) collected from some uplands of Tokat (Turkey) during 2012 and 2013. In total, 24 species were identified during this study. They are 1 genus and 1 species from the subfamily Exoristinae, 5 genera and 7 species from the subfamily Tachininae, 6 genera and 7 species from the subfamily Dexiinae, 5 genera and 9 species from the subfamily Phasiinae. Among them, Peleteria varia, Linnaemya impudica, Macquartia chalconota, Peribeae tibialis, Periscepsia carbonaria and Prosena siberita were recorded for the first time in Tokat.
Highlights
The family Tachinidae is one of the most diverse dipteran families, with more than 8.000 species (Ziegler 1998)
Because of detailed studies have been made about Tachinidae family in Tokat provinces, tachinid fauna of Tokat provinces is well known (Kara 1998; Kara 1999a; b; Kara and Bayram 1999; Kara 2001a; Kara and Alaoğlu 2001; 2002; Atay and Kara 2014)
The specimens were deposited at the Entomology Laboratory in Gaziosmanpasa University, Agricultural Faculty, Plant Protection Department, Tokat, Turkey
Summary
The family Tachinidae is one of the most diverse dipteran families, with more than 8.000 species (Ziegler 1998). Tachinid flies (Diptera) are among the most important natural enemies of herbivorous arthropods and play significant roles in regulating pest populations. They mostly attack larval Lepidoptera feeding on foliage. Because of detailed studies have been made about Tachinidae family in Tokat provinces, tachinid fauna of Tokat provinces is well known (Kara 1998; Kara 1999a; b; Kara and Bayram 1999; Kara 2001a; Kara and Alaoğlu 2001; 2002; Atay and Kara 2014). The tachinids of these areas were determined
