Range expansion of some Heteroptera species (Hemiptera) in Türkiye with a new record of Chilacis typhae (Perris, 1857)

ABSTRACT: In this study, some of the Heteroptera specimens collected from Şanlıurfa and Tunceli provinces in 2024 were identified. As a result, Chilacis typhae (Perris, 1857) belonging to the Artheneidae family was determined to be a new record for the Turkish Heteroptera fauna and was redescribed. In addition, Holcocranum saturejae (Kolenati, 1845) (Artheneidae), Aradus betulae (Linnaeus, 1758) (Aradidae) and Pasira basiptera Stål, 1859 (Reduviidae), which are rarely distributed in Türkiye, and Dictyla echii (Schrank, 1782), Geocoris arenarius (Jakovlev, 1867) (Geocoridae) and Ceraleptus obtusus (Brullé, 1839) (Coreidae) a widespread species in Türkiye, were given for the first time from Tunceli, and Stenozygum coloratum (Klug, 1845) (Pentatomidae) was recorded for the second time from Şanlıurfa province.
