The large carrion beetles (Coleoptera: Silphidae) of Turkey: a review with a new species record Author Çiftçi, Derya Author Růžička, Jan Author Hasbenli, Abdullah Author Şahin, Ülfet text Zootaxa 2018 2018-06-28 4441 3 555 591 journal article 29786 10.11646/zootaxa.4441.3.10 bb7fccfa-ae25-4a5f-afb6-4aa071fa61df 1175-5326 1301572 25DC9A68-CA02-4187-A2FB-9D80DF22F8A7 [ Thanatophilus ferrugatus ( Solsky, 1874 ) ] Material examined. None. Remarks. Species distributed in southern European parts of Russia , Iran and Central Asia (Růžička 2015). Özdemir & Sert (2008) reported this species from Turkey : Ankara . However, after comparison of their illustrations of the aedeagus with Schawaller (1981) and voucher specimens of T. ferrugatus and T. terminatus ( Hummel, 1825 ) deposited in the collection of Jan Růžička, we conclude that Özdemir & Sert (2008) misidentified their material, which in fact belongs to T. terminatus . The same probably apply to a record of Altunsoy et al. (2017) from Eskişehir Province . Therefore, T. ferrugatus is deleted from the Turkish fauna.
