    • Abstract:
      In this study, an updated list of the Turkish Lygaoeidea superfamily (excluding Rhyparochromidae) is presented along with the results obtained from field studies carried out in 91 localities with different habitat characteristics in 5 Provinces in the Thrace Region between 2015 and 2020. As a result of the evaluation of materials collected in the region, 53 species belonging to 7 families were identified of which 16 are first records for Turkish Thrace. The first exact locality records were given for two species from the Thrace Region. In addition, as a result of reviewing the studies carried out in Türkiye so far, it has been determined that 49 genera and 146 species/subspecies belonging to 10 families (Artheneidae, Berytidae, Blissidae, Cymidae, Geocoridae, Heterogastridae, Lygaeidae, Oxycarenidae, Pachygronthidae, Piesmatidae) from the Lygaeoidea superfamily are distributed, but 7 of these species need to be confirmed. The distributions of the species are handled separately for the European part (Thrace) of Türkiye and the Asian part (Anatolia). With the 16 new records obtained in this study, 71 species are from European Türkiye and 137 species are from Asian Türkiye (2 species are distributed only in European Türkiye, 68 species only in Asian Türkiye and 69 species in both parts). The type localities of 7 species are in Türkiye (Anatolia) and 2 species of them are endemic to Anatolia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
