Munis Entomology & Zoology, 19 (1): 372-417] ABSTRACT: In Turkey, studies regarding insect species being present in the cherry agroecosystems date back 80 years ago. This study was conducted to evaluate the insect fauna of cherry agroecosystems in the light of previous studies. In this section (Part II), the results of the evaluation made on 393 species / subspecies belonging to 231 genera of 27 families of Coleoptera were given. KEY WORDS: Cherry, fauna, insect diversity, Turkey, Coleoptera The present study is the second part of a serial work planned on insect species determined in cherry agroecosystems in Turkey. “Introduction” and “Material and Methods” sections for this study was given by Tezcan & Gülperçin (2022) in the first part of this serial papers. RESULTS In this study, totally 393 species / subspecies belonging to 231 genera of 27 families of Coleoptera were evaluated.
