Studies on the Ennominae Fauna and Taxonomy of the Dağlıca (Geometridae, Lepidoptera)*
Abstract
Ennominae is an important group in the Geometridae family that contains
problematic species with very similar external morphological characters. In
this study, Ennominae species collected from Yüksekova Dağlıca town of
Hakkari Province between April and September 2017 were evaluated from a
faunistic and taxonomic perspective. 28 species were identified in the study.
Charissa onustaria, C. subtaurica and Crocallis tusciaria species were
identified for the first time from Hakkari Province. C. loebeli,
Neognopharmia cataleucaria, and Ramitia kufrana were detected in the
region are also important endemic taxa for the Turkish fauna. Rhoptria
mardinata and Eumera hoferi, known only in Türkiye and Iran, are other rare
species found in the region. R. mardinata was presented with photographs of
male genitalia for the first time. Morphological and taxonomic aspects of the
species under the genera Dicrognophos, Gnopharmia, Crocallis, Bellachima,
Charissa, Synopsia and Nychiodes are discussed
