Abstract
ABSTRACT The Aedeagus and spermatheca structures of Chrysomela collaris Linnaeus, 1758, Chrysomela populi Linnaeus, 1758, Chrysomela saliceti (Weise, 1884), Chrysomela tremula Fabricius, 1787 and Chrysomela vigintipunctata (Scopoli, 1763) species, widespread in Turkey, have been studied. Relationships between species by observing the structure of aedeagus and spermatheca which allow their accuracy species-level identification are detaily included in the study. A dichotomous key for the species of the genus Chrysomela Linnaeus,1758 present in Turkey, the first one for the country, is also provided (including genitals photos). Accordingly to what was observed in this study, aedeagus and spermatheca related characters can be used to easily distinglush the species of the genus Chrysomela present in Turkey.
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.
