Abstract
ABSTRACT. This study was carried out in 2017 to detect populations of the xyllophagous fig pest Xylopertha reflexicauda (Lesne 1937) (Coleoptera: Bostichidae) in Diyarbakır Province of Turkey. This species has been determined to be a pest after culturing dead fig trees. This is the first report of its spread in Turkey, and the first reported damage to fig in Turkey. Features of the exit hole of the species and some feeding characteristics of the species are provided. This is an important addition to the fauna in Diyarbakır Province.
期刊介绍:
Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
