A Study on the Odonate Larvae of Turkish Thrace: with Larval Identification Keys to the Considered Taxa

Abstract

The larvae of 27 spp./sspp. were listed based on the larval specimens of Odonates collected from Turkish Thrace. New locations for the Odonate species known from Turkish Thrace were added to their distributional ranges. Brachytron pratense (Müller) which was reported from only a few localities in the west of Turkey, was also found at a new locality in Turkish Thrace. Furthermore, key for the reported larval species was arranged for the fist time on the larvae of Turkish Odonates.
