Check list of the Hydrophilidae (Coleoptera) Species of Turkey and a New Record for the Turkish Fauna

Abstract

A check list of Hydrophilidae species known in Turkey is presented for the first time. In addition, their distributions in Turkey are given. Fifty-four species are determined. Of these, Hydrophilus atterimus Eschscholtz, 1822, a new record for the Turkish fauna, is reviewed and compared with H. piceus (Linnaeus, 1758).
