Abstract
Abstract New data on faunistics, ecology and morphology of two weevil species collected from the semi-aquatic habitats in Aras River valley were obtained. Arthrostenus spadiceus Boheman, 1836 is recorded for the first time from Turkey. New data on species feeding and reproduction are provided and illustrated with digital images. Typha latifolia L. is reported for the first time as its host plant. Additionally, a single female of Arthrostenus fullo Boheman, 1836 has been captured with light trap in the same territory. The morphology of the terminalia segments and genitalia of these two species are described and illustrated for the first time.
期刊介绍:
Aquatic Insects is an international journal publishing original research on the systematics, biology, and ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic insects.
The subject of the research is aquatic and semi-aquatic insects, comprising taxa of four primary orders, the Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera but also aquatic and semi-aquatic families of Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, as well as specific representatives of Hymenoptera , Lepidoptera, Mecoptera, Megaloptera , and Neuroptera that occur in lotic and lentic habitats during part of their life cycle. Studies on other aquatic Hexapoda (i.e., Collembola) will be only accepted if space permits. Papers on other aquatic Arthropoda (e.g., Crustacea) will not be considered, except for those closely related to aquatic and semi-aquatic insects (e.g., water mites as insect parasites).
The topic of the research may include a wide range of biological fields. Taxonomic revisions and descriptions of individual species will be accepted especially if additional information is included on habitat preferences, species co-existing, behavior, phenology, collecting methods, etc., that are of general interest to an international readership. Descriptions based on single specimens are discouraged.
Detailed studies on morphology, physiology, behavior, and phenology of aquatic insects in all stadia of their life cycle are welcome as well as the papers with molecular and phylogenetic analyses, especially if they discuss evolutionary processes of the biological, ecological, and faunistic formation of the group.
