Abstract - Neuroptera specimens were collected between June and September in the years of 2010-2014 in the Kahramanmara§ province, Turkey. Collected specimens were determined to belong to 34 species, 22 genera, and 7 families, which is 16 percentage of the number of neuropteroids recorded in Turkey. The existence of 7 species previously reported from the area has not been confirmed during the fieldwork. 22 species are the first records for the Neuroptera fauna of Kahramanmara§.
KEY WORDS: Neuroptera, Fauna, Kahramanmara§, Turkey.
Izvleček - PRISPEVEK K FAVNI MREŽEKRILCEV (INSECTA: NEUROPTERA) PROVINCE KAHRAMANMARA§, TURČIJA
Primerki mrežekrilcev so bili zbirani med junijem in septembrom v letih 2010 -2014 v provinci Kahramanmara§, Turčija. Zbrani primerki so bili določeni in pripadajo 34 vrstam, 22 rodovom in 7 družinam, kar je 16 odstotkov števila nevropteroidov, zabeleženih v Turčiji. Prisotnost sedmih vrst, predhodno zabeleženih v območju, med terenskim delom ni bila potrjena. 22 vrst je prvič zabeleženih v favni mrežekrilcev Kahramanmara§a.
KLJUČNE BESEDE: Neuroptera, favna, Kahramanmara§, Turčija.
Introduction
Most adults of neuropteran insects are predaceous. They feed on aphids, mites, and several other agricultural pests, and these insects can be used in integrated pest management (Ghahari et al., 2010). The Neuroptera includes 687 species and 17
subspecies in the Palaearctic region and about 6000 species in the world (Aspöck, et al., 2001).
The first Turkish faunal data on Neuroptera was published in the paper by Schneider (1845). After 1960, the exploration of the local fauna in Turkey was increased dramatically. In the ensuing years, the new species and faunistic records from Turkey were given (Aistleitner, 1982; Aspöck, 1987, 1989, 1996; Aspöck & Aspöck 1965a, 1965b, 1966, 1969a, 1969b, 1979, 1980, 1994; Aspöck et al., 1978, 1984; Gepp, 1974; Hölzel, 1965, 1966, 1967a, 1967b, 1968, 1969, 1972a, 1972b, 1978, 1987; Hölzel & Ohm, 1986; Kač^rek, 1998; Ko^ak, 1976; Meinander, 1972; Monserrat & Hölzel, 1987; Rausch & Aspöck, 1978; Rausch et al., 1978; §engonca, 1978, 1979, 1980a, 1980b, 1981a 1981b).
Turkish and European neuropterologists have started to increase the works on the Neuroptera since 2000. These researchers have provided new records to Turkish neuropteran fauna and new species to the world neuroptean fauna (Abraham & Meszaros, 2002; Ari, 2014; Ari et al., 2007a, 2007b; Ari & Kiyak, 2000, 2003; Berber & Canbulat, 2009; Canbulat, 2007a, 2007b, 2013; Canbulat & Kiyak, 2002a 2002b, 2003a, 2003b, 2005; Dobosz & Abraham, 2009; Kemal & Ko^ak, 2006; Kiyak & Özdikmen, 1993; Ko^ak & Kemal, 2008; Kovanci & Canbulat, 2007; Kovanci et.al., 2014; Ohl, 2009; Onar, 2007; Özgen, et al., 2012; Satar, 2005; Satar & Özbay,2002, 2003; Rausch & Weißmair, 2007).
By 2015, as a result of Neuroptera researches above, The Neuroptera order is represented by 11 families, 210 species, and 4 subspecies in Turkey (Table 1). In the present study, 34 species are listed for the Kahramanmara§ province.

The neuropterid fauna of Kahramanmara§ was insufficiently investigated up to now, and only sporadic papers on species occurrence in the province existed. To date, 20 Neuroptera species have been recorded from Kahramanmara§ (for review, see
Fig. 1: Map of Kahramanmara§, Turkey
Hölzel, 1967a, 1968; §engonca, 1978, 1979, 1980a, and 1981a, 1981b; Kač^rek, 1998; Ari & Kiyak, 2000; Bahadiroglu & Daymaz, 2001).
Kahramanmara§ is located in the south part of Turkey. The province is characterized by mountains, plains, plateaus, and various forest types. The north part of Amanos Mountains, Ba§konu§ Kubali Mountain, Ahir Mountain, and Kartal Kaya Mountains exist in the west part of Kahramanmara§. A big part of surface area of the province is constituted by plains namely Narli, Saglik, and Mara§ and plateaus, including Erkenez, Aksu, Imali, Büyükmine, and Karacasu. Majority of Kahramanmara§ is covered with various forest types, including deciduous, coniferous, and mixed forests.
The objective of this study is to provide detailed information about the Neuropteran fauna and their distribution in the Kahramanmara§ province.
Materials and Methods
The specimens examined in this study were collected from 23 randomly located sampling sites in the Kahramanmara§ province. A total of 165 specimens of 34 species
belonging to 22 genera and 7 families were collected by sweep net and light trap between June and September in the years of 2010-2014.
Specimens were killed in jars with ethyl acetate. A^er that they were prepared, labeled according to the standard procedures for museum materials. Then they were stored in the Biology Department of Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Kilis 7 Aralik University.
To determine the species of the samples, the diagnostic keys and descriptions in the literature were used (Aspöck, et al., 1980; Bozsik, 2010; Gruppe, 2006; Hölzel, 1972a; §engonca, 1980a, 1980b, 1981b).

Discussion
In previous studies, 20 species belonging to 5 families, namely Berothidae, Chrysopidae, Hemerobiidae, Myrmeleontidae, and Nemopteridae, were recorded from Kahramanmara§ (Hölzel, 1967a, 1968; §engonca, 1978, 1979, 1980a, and 1981a, 1981b; Kač^rek, 1998; Ari & Kiyak, 2000; Bahadiroglu & Daymaz, 2001). In this work, existence of Chrysopa pallens, Chrysotropia ciliata, Chrysopa dubitans, Chrysopa hungarica, Chrysopa nigricostata, Italochrysa vartianorum of Chrysopidae, and Sympherobius (Sympherobius) pygmaeus has not been confirmed. There was no species belonging to Ascalaphidae and Mantispidae in previous studies; however 5 species of both families have been recorded in this study. Total of 34 species belonging to 22 genera and 7 families have been determined. Of 34 species, 12 (Isoscelipteron fulvum, Brinckochrysa amseli, Chrysopa formosa, Chrysopa viridana, Chrysoperla carnea, Italochrysa italica, Pseudomallada flavifrons, Pseudomallada prasinus, Pseudomallada subflavifrons, Palpares libelluloides, Lertha extensa, and Nemoptera sinuata) were recorded in previous documents. The rest of 34 species have been added to Kahramanmara§ neuropterid fauna by this study.
Chrysopa dorsalis and Peyerimhoffina gracilis are confined to coniferous trees, and Mantispa aphavexelte, Mantispa scabricollis, Mantispa styriaca, Nineta guadarramensis, Italochrysa italica, Chrysopa viridana, Chrysopa abbreviata, Brinckochrysa amseli, and Neuroleon (Ganussa) tenellus were captured from deciduous trees. Lertha extensa, Deleproctophylla dusmeti, Myrmecaelurus major and Libelloides macaronius are common in steppe habitats. Specimens belonging to Palpares libelluloides, Myrmecaelurus trigrammus, Creoleon plumbeus, Distoleon tetragrammicus, Pseudomallada subflavifrons, Pseudomallada prasinus, Pseudomallada flavifrons, Chrysoperla carnea are commonly found on broad-leaved trees such as oak, poplar, plum, pear, and coniferous trees such as Pinus brutia, Pinus nigra, Cedrus libani, Abies cilicica, herbaceous plants, shrubs, and steppe. In table 2, collecting methods of specimens are presented.
