A new pine pest for Diyarbakır: Observations on Buprestis (Ancylocheira) dalmatina Mannerheim, 1837 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)

This study was conducted in 2019 on pine trees in Dicle University Campus. Bark samples were taken from the dried pine trees and brought to the laboratory. Samples were cultured in plastic containers in 26 ± 1OC, 65 ± 5% humidity and climatic chambers set to 16: 8 period. As a result of this study, Buprestis (Ancylocheira) dalmatina Mannerheim, 1837 species belonging to Buprestidae family of Coleoptera was determined. This is the first record for pine trees in Diyarbakir. In addition, this species is the first record for the insect fauna of Diyarbakır. This harmful species, which is one of the rare insect species in the world, is thought to have entered the province of Diyarbakır, possibly through production materials brought to the region without supervision.
