In this paper new data on invasive alien species (IAS): Perillus bioculatus (Fabricius, 1775) as a second record for asian part (Anatolian) of Turkey are presented. Specimen is observed in Ankara, and this is the second record for anatolien part of Turkish (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) fauna. The results of the study, its is confirmed occurrence in Anatolia.

Parapiesma quadratum (Fieber, 1844) was identified in Kirklareli province during field studies in the Turkish Thrace in 2016. This is the first record of P. quadratum from the Thrace Region and is also the first finding of the Piesmatidae family in this region. In this study, the distribution informations of P. quadratum and other species belonging to the family Piesmatidae in Turkey were given and shown on the map.

In this study, 34 species of Pentatomidae and 3 species of Scutelleridae are recorded from Igdir and 1 species of Scutelleridae is recorded from Istanbul. Among these species, Tarisa elevata Reuter, 1901, Brachynema signatum Jakovlev, 1879 and Phimodera amblygonia Fieber, 1863 are recorded from Turkey for the first time.

Leptopus hispanus Rambur, 1840 is recorded for the first time from Eastern Anatolia (Turkey). This species is widespread from Mediterranean to Central Asia, but in Turkey it was known until now only from the southern of Anatolia. This record is the eastern- and northernmost one for Turkey.

In this paper, 11 species of the family Lygaeidae and Miridae belonging to the subordo Heteroptera (Hemiptera) recorded from Elazig, Tunceli and Malatya provinces of Eastern Anatolia, Turkey, are discussed. Among them, belonging to Lygaeidae family Peritrechus meridionalis Puton, 1877, Pezocoris apicimacula (A. Costa, 1853), Tropistethus fasciatus Ferrari, 1874, Horvathiolus superbus (Pollich, 1781)and belonging to Miridae family Globiceps (Globiceps) sphaegiformis (Rossi, 1790), Psallus quercus (Kirschbaum, 1856), Grypocoris melanopygus Horváth, 1906, Acetropis carinata (Herrich-Schäffer, 1842) are reported for the first time from Eastern Anatolia of Turkey. In addition, many species are newly reported to studied provinces.

Some insect species of the Heteroptera (Hemiptera) (true bugs) suborder from Arthropoda class, are present as ectoparasites in some reptile, bird and mammal species. These species are fed by blood-sucking and are considered economically harm-ful. Parrot species belonging to the order Psittaciformes (Aves) show a native distribution in tropical and subtropical regions, but some species have started to be invasive or alien species in other countries except the native range. There is no current list of ectoparasi-tes carried by parrots that are important in the world animal trade. This research was designed on two orders of animals, host and ectoparasites of economic importance. The aim of this study is to present the Heteroptera species that are infected to Psittaciformes species worldwide. Studies on this subject all over the world. Five Psittaciformes species were found to be infected with 11 Heteroptera species. Heteroptera species usually infect insectivorous and predatory birds. Infection of economically important Psittaciformes species by Heteroptera species should be monitored.

This study was conducted based on 14 specimens belonging to 6 species of 5 genera in 4 families of the suborder Heteroptera (Hemiptera). The specimens were collected during fieldwork in Prizren, Peja, Shtime, Istok, Gjakova and Strpce provinces from Kosovo in 2012. All these six species in this study are new records for the Kosovo. These species; Brachycoleus decolor Reuter, 1887 and Lygus rugulipennis, (Poppius, 1911) (Miridae); Nabis limbatus Dahlbom, 1851 and Nabis capsiformis (Germar, 1838) (Nabidae); Monosteira unicostata (Mulsant & Rey) (Tingidae); Gampsocoris culicinus culicinus Seidenstücker, 1948 (Berytidae). The distribution of each species are presented in Kosovo and showed map. Infection of economically important Psittaciformes species by Heteroptera species should be monitored.

ÖZET: Bu çalismada, bir Hemiptera türü olan Ventocoris fischeri (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1851)’in tükürük bezinin morfoloji ve histolojisi stereomikroskop, isik mikroskobu ve taramali elektron mikroskobu (SEM) kullanilarak detayli bir sekilde arastirilmistir. V. fischeri’nin sindirim kanalinin ön bagirsagina paralel uzanan bir çift tükürük bezi bulunmaktadir. Her tükürük bezi, esas tükürük bezi ve yardimci tükürük bezi olmak üzere iki parçadan olusmaktadir. Esas tükürük bezi ise anterior lob ve posterior lob olarak adlandirilan iki farkli kisma ayrilmaktadir. Esas tükürük bezinin her iki lobunun kesitleri incelendiginde bezin lümenini tek tabakli epitel dokunun çevreledigi görülmektedir. Yardimci tükürük bezlerinde de tek katli epitel bulunmaktadir. Ancak bu tabakaya ek olarak hücrelerin apikal tarafinda lümeni kitin tabakasi çevrelemektedir. Yapilan bu çalisma ile V. fischeri’nin tükürük bezi yapisi arastirilmis, daha önce yapilan diger çalismalarin bulgulari ile benzerlik ve farkliliklari ortaya konmustur. ABSTRACT: In this study, the morphology and histology of the salivary gland of Ventocoris fischeri (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1851), a Hemiptera species, were investigated in detail using stereomicroscope, light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). V. fischeri has a pair of salivary glands extending parallel to the foregut of the digestive tract. Each salivary gland is composed of two parts, main salivary gland and accessory salivary gland. The main salivary gland is divided into two different parts called anterior lobe and posterior lobe. When the sections of both lobes of the main salivary gland are examined, it is seen that the lumen of the gland is surrounded by monolayer epithelial tissue. There is also a single-layer epithelium in the accessory salivary glands. However, in addition to this layer, chitin layer surrounds the lumen on the apical side of the cells. With this study, the structure of V. fischeri’s salivary gland was investigated and similarities and differences with the results of previous studies were revealed.

This study was performed in the period March-September in the years 2013 and 2014 in various freshwater habitats in Edirne of Thrace region in order to determine the aquatic and semi-aquatic Heteroptera fauna of the city. As a result 28 species belonging to 14 families from Gerromorpha and Nepomorpha were identified. Habitat and distribution informations of the species were given.

159 Coreoidea specimens were collected for identification during the expedition which made between June-August 2011-2012 in Yahyali district (Kayseri province). The result of the identification process; 16 genera and 24 species were found belonging to 4 families. Information about the location of the studied area and Heteroptera fauna were reported in the search. Examination materials were arranged for each species with the necessary collecting data. The distribution of species were also considered in Turkey. In the results of the search references, all of 24 species are new record for Coreoidea fauna of Yahyali.
