Biogeography and Host Evaluation of the Subfamily Pimplinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) in Turkey

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the faunistic, ecological, zoogeographical and hosts situation of the subfamily Pimplinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) in Turkey. As a result of the study, 100 species belonging to 30 genera and three tribes were identified. These samples are added into literature examining the whole Turkey in the last two decade. For each species, individual diversity, biogeographical and zoogeographical regions, altitudinal distribution, seasonal dynamics, available host data, plants visited by adults and first record of the species from for Turkey are summarised.
