dc.description.abstractIn recent years, Sinop Province has become an important touristic center of Black Sea Region in Turkey. Akliman isalso one of the most visited touristic areas of Sinop. It is notable that aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats in Aklimanand surrounding areas are suitable reproduction areas for Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae). Biting femaleCulicoides midges irritate people and animals because they feed by blood sucking. Thus, the study aimed to determinethe species of the genus in Akliman District of Sinop Province, which is little investigated. The present study wasconducted in 2014 and 2015. The study area was divided into three stations. Specimens were collected using CDCminiature light trap and black fluorescent lamp light trap at these stations, which were kept inside bottles with 70%ethyl alcohol. Culicoides specimens were identified using steromicroscope and light microscope. A total of 15 speciesof the Culicoides genus were identified in the study area. Culicoides alazanicus, C. cataneii, C. gejgelensis, C.griseidorsum, C. kibunensis, C. longipennis, C. obsoletus, C. picturatus and C. subfasciipennis species are newrecords for Sinop. Male individuals belonging to C. alazanicus and C. griseidorsum in Turkey have been identifiedfor the first time in this study.
