Notes

Simulium (Simulium) noelleri is a well-known simuliid, with a general preference for outlets. It is distinguished by the branching arrangement of the pupal gills (3+3+2 or 3+2+2+1). We encountered it at one locality, an outlet from a small pond. Our pupae have eight gill filaments arranged as 3+3+2, and the apotome pattern of the larval head capsule is like an ill-defined “H”, as described by Bass (1998). Although, S. noelleri is widespread in the Palaearctic, there are rwo records of it in Turkey, from the Sakarya River basin ( Sirin and Sahin 2005) and East Marmara Region ( Şirin et al. 2014).
