Poecilium Fairmaire, 1864 View in CoL
This genus is represented in Turkey by four species: P. alni (Linnaeus, 1767) , P. fasciatum (Villers, 1789) , P. lividum (Rossi, 1794) and P. pusillum (Fabricius, 1787) . P. alni has been reported by various authors from different localities in Turkey as cited in Özdikmen 2007. It is probably distributed rather widely in Turkey, and is represented there by two subspecies. The nominotypical subspecies is known from Spain to European Russia and Kazakhstan (including European Turkey). P. alni pici (Aurivillius, 1912) occurs only in south European Russia, Caucasus ( Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) and northern Anatolian Turkey. P. alni pici was not mentioned by Sama and Löbl (2010) for Turkey. P. fasciatum (Villers, 1789) has not been recorded from Turkey from any exact locality, although Sama (2002) and Sama and Löbl (2010) mentioned that the species occurs in southern Turkey. P. lividum (Rossi, 1794) has been reported by a few authors from İstanbul, Sakarya and İçel provinces as cited in Özdikmen 2008, so it is probably distributed rather widely in the western half of Turkey. P. pusillum (Fabricius, 1787) has been reported by a few authors from İstanbul and Konya provinces, so it is probably also distributed rather widely in the western half of Turkey. It is represented by the nominotypical subspecies in European Turkey and P. pusillum rufipenne (Starck, 1889) in Anatolian Turkey. However, Sama and Löbl (2010) did not mention the species for Turkey.
Zoogeographically, P. alni has W-Palaearctic, P. fasciatum has S-European, P. lividum has Mediterranean and P. pusillum has European chorotype.
