Hesperocorixa castanea (Thomson, 1869) View in CoL ( Corixidae : Corixinae)

Asian Turkey. Jansson (1986, in map as revised), Önder et al. (2006).

Turkey (not distinguished). Kıyak & Özsaraç (2001).

General distribution. Species with Atlantic distribution in northern and western Europe, western parts of Central Europe and in Iberian Peninsula ( Jansson 1986a, 1995).

Comment. Jansson (1986a) mapped this species from Asian Turkey, but in the text he wrote: ‘in the Brussels Museum, one male from Turkey, Finike, is possibly a case of mislabelling.’ According to Jansson (1995): ‘The record from Asian Turkey ( Jansson 1986a) is considered a case of mislabelling.’ Önder et al. (2006) listed the species from Antalya province, which corresponds to Jansson’s (1986a) locality Finike. Considering the general distribution of the species, we exclude it from the list of Turkish fauna.
