Abstract

This research aims to investigate the Simuliidae fauna of Yeşilırmak River basin and determine the species composition of the collecting sites. The study was carried out in July 2008 and June 2009. One genus and eleven species (Metacnephia sp., Metacnephia subalpina, Simulium (Eusimulium) angustipes, Simulium (Nevermannia) costatum, Simulium (Simulium) argenteostriatum, Simulium (Simulium) bezzii, Simulium (Simulium) ornatum, Simulium (Simulium) trifasciatum, Simulium (Simulium) variegatum, Simulium (Wilhelmia) balcanicum, Simulium (Wilhelmia) lineatum and Simulium (Wilhelmia) pseudequinum) were recorded from 16 collecting sites. The distribution and abundance of Simuliidae species reflect the changes in water quality of Yeşilırmak River, due to agricultural activities and urban areas.
