Studies on the fauna and zoogeography of Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea (Lepidoptera) of the Celestial Mountain Range [in Turkish], Cent. ent. Stud., Priamus Suppl. 2: 1-122, Tabs., 8 Pls.

In this study, the fauna, taxonomy,  ecological and zoogeographical features of the butterflies occuring in the Celestial Mountain Range are investigated. For this purpose, totally 291 species and 446 subspecies, belonging to the superfamilies Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea, including 156 species recorded by the author are studied. All the genus and species group names are controlled and updated in accordance with the Rules of the Code on the Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). Proposals for the determined taxonomical problems are given. In Lycaenidae, Margelycaena (nom. nov.) and Athamanthia Zhdanko,1983 (syn.nov.) are proposed. Ecological information on some species obtained and 5339 specimens collected during the field works are evaluated. Faunal and ecological data determined here to be new are explained. Elements of the faunal regions composing some faunas of the mountains in the Celestial Mountain Range are evaluated zoogeographically. It was determined that the elements composing the whole fauna of the Celestial Mountains belong to totally 42 faunal regions. Zoogeographical results obtained are discussed and proposals are given.

Results of the Entomofauna of the World based upon info-system of the Cesa. Cent. ent. Stud., Priamus Suppl. 18:  1-3186, 2 figs, 1 map.

Editorial: Under this major title, totally 88 regional reports, a generic list of the pterygot insects and a bibliographical evaluation are published in this  number of the Priamus (supplement).  The   Project “Entomofauna of the World” (except Lepidoptera) has been carrying out by the researchers of the Cesa for some years. The temporary results of the reports submitted here are based upon not only the literary data, but also the field results of the authors’ expeditions to several states realized in earlier decades. In each report submitted, faunistical, taxonomical and nomenclatural information are revised as far as possible, updated accordingly with footnotes. References to the faunal information of some states published in recent years are also mentioned in the related reports.  The following states are newly  added to the research program on the pterygot fauna within the frame of entomofaunal surveys of the Cesa: Austria, Bulgaria, Creta, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Romania, Spain, Sweden and Ukraine in Europe; Afghanistan, China, Cyprus, Israel, India, Iraq, Jordan, Japan, Kazachstan, Kirgizistan, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Tadjikistan, Turkmenistan, Taiwan, Uighur Ili, Uzbekistan, and Yemen in Asia; Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Surinam, United States, and Venezuela in America. Recording the faunal data of these states mentioned above are very at the beginning. Comparatively more advanced faunal lists belong to Turkey and some Middle East countries in Asia.  Concerning the order Lepidoptera, results of the Project Lepidoptera of  the Old World (LOW), will be published in the next issue of this serial. Finally, this not an ordinary but a planned, long-termed study. If it is needed, the Cesa projects with their published reports should be compared by the readers with the equivalent attempts only.

An illustrated synopsis and keys to afrotropical genera of the epifamily Dolichopodoidae (Diptera: Empidoidea). Cent. ent. Stud., Priamus (Supplement) 24: 1-98, 305 figs.

The use of the epifamily rank Dolichopodoidae (type genus Dolichopus Latreille, 1796) is proposed for the Dolichopodidae s. lat., incorporating paraphyletic families Dolichopodidae and Microphoridae and subfamily Parathalassiinae incertae sedis that shares features of both Dolichopodidae and Microphoridae. Additionally, the use of the epifamily rank Empidoidae (type genus Empis Linnaeus, 1758) is proposed for the rest families of the superfamily Empidoidea. A brief synopsis of 84 genera of Dolichopodidae s.s. and 3 genera of Microphoridae and Parathalassiinae is given along with illustration of habitus of some typical and rare afrotropical species. Revised keys to afrotropical genera of the family Dolichopodidae (Diptera) are compiled. Illustration of typical characters of most afrotropical genera is given. Dactylonotus meuffelsi Grichanov, 1998, is placed in synonymy to D. rudebecki Vanschuytbroeck, 1960 (syn. nov.). The following recombinations are also proposed: Amblypsilopus prysjonesi (Meuffels et Grootaert, 2007), comb. nov., Bickeliolus gerlachi (Meuffels et Grootaert, 2007), comb. nov., Lichtwardtia melanesiana (Bickel, 2008), comb. nov.
