Abstract
The distribution of tiger beetles in the Çukurova Delta is analyzed and new records within the delta are presented. The data indicate that Megacephala euphratica euphratica, Lophyridia concolor, L. littoralis winkleri, and Myriochile melancholica melancholica are abundant and widely distributed, in contrast to Lophyridia aphrodisia aphrodisia and Cylindera trisignata which are rare and occur only locally. Tiger beetle habitats and abundance were determined for the delta area between 2001 and 2004. Salt marsh and salt meadows, rocky coasts, sandy beaches, banks of rivers, brooks and lagoons, as well as arable lands are the main habitats of tiger beetles in the delta. L. a. aphrodisia, which only occurs in restricted coastal areas with flat rocks, may have disappeared from the Çukurova Delta because of tourist activity.
