Abstract

Two different field surveys were carried out in Dupnisa cave on the twentieth of August, 2001 and on the sixth of July, 2004. Specimens from Chironomidae (Diptera) and Gammaridae (Amphipoda) families were sampled from four different localities. The samples were then brought to laboratory and their identifications were done with microscopy. While no larvae from Chironomidae was found in the first locality, those of Paratrissocladius excerptus (Walker, 1806); Epoicocladius ephemerae (Kieffer, 1924) and Polypedilum (Tripodura) scalaenum (Schrank, 1803) were found in the second of Macropelopia nebulosa (Meigen, 1804); Telmatopelopia nemorum Goetghebuer, 1921; Paratrichocladius rufiventris (Meigen, 1830); Rheotanytarsus sp. and Micropsectra praecox Wiedemann, 1918 in the third and of Heleniella orniaticollis Edwards, 1929; Chaetocladius piger Goetghebuer, 1913; Psectrocladius barbimans Edwards, 1929; Polypedilum (Tripodura) scalaenum (Schrank, 1803) and Micropsectra praecox Wiedemann, 1918 were found in the fourth locality. On the other hand, Gammaridae was found to be represented in each of four localities with a single species, Gammarus arduus G.S. Karaman, 1973.

Dupnisa Mağarası’nın (Sarpdere Köyü, Demirköy, Kırklareli) Chironomidae (Diptera) ve Gammaridae (Amphipoda) Faunası. Dupnisa Mağarasına 20.08.2001 ve 06.07.2004 tarihlerinde 2 arazi çalışması gerçekleştirildi. 4 örnekleme lokalitesinden Chironomidae (Diptera) ve Gammaridae (Amphipoda) familyalarına ait örnekler toplandı. Daha sonra laboratuvarda mikroskop altında teşhisleri gerçekleştirildi. 1 nolu lokalitede Chironomidae familyasına ait larva bulunmadı. 2 nolu lokalitede Paratrissocladius excerptus (Walker, 1806); Epoicocladius ephemerae (Kieffer, 1924); Polypedilum (Tripodura) scalaenum (Schrank, 1803), 3 nolu lokalitede Macropelopia nebulosa (Meigen, 1804); Telmatopelopia nemorum Goetghebuer, 1921; Paratrichocladius rufiventris (Meigen, 1830); Rheotanytarsus sp.; Micropsectra praecox Wiedemann, 1918 ve 4 nolu lokalitede Heleniella orniaticollis Edwards, 1929; Chaetocladius piger Goetghebuer, 1913; Psectrocladius barbimans Edwards, 1929; Polypedilum (Tripodura) scalaenum (Schrank, 1803); Micropsectra praecox Wiedemann, 1918 türleri bulundu. Gammaridae familyasından ise 4 örnekleme lokalitesinin herbirinde yalnız Gammarus arduus G.S. Karaman, 1973 türü saptandı
