dc.description.abstractScolytinae, a large group of Coleoptera, are a vital community that causes forest damage. Species such as Pityokteines curvidens (Germar), Orthotomicus erosus (Wollaston), Tomicus destruens (Wollaston), Tomicus minor (Hartig) and Ips sexdentatus (Boerner) are particularly prevalent in the region. In recent years, the prevalence of bark beetle species causing tree damage in the Bursa province has increased. The purpose of this study was to determine the predator species of bark beetles responsible for causing damage in the forest areas of the Bursa province. Specimens were collected from 8 sites in the study area and identified as belonging to 25 species in 2 orders and 12 families. In study found that species such as Synuchus vivalis (Illiger), Opilo taeniatus (Klug), Trichodes apiarius (Linnaeus), Anthrenus scrophulariae (Linnaeus), Trogoderma angustum (Solier), Trogoderma glabrum (Herbst), Ampedus cinnaberinus (Eschscholtz), Cylister angustatus (Hoffmann), Cylister filiformis (Erichson), Rhizophagus depressus (Fabricius), Rhizophagus dispar (Paykull), Ipidia binotata (Reitter), Corticeus linearis (Fabricius), Corticeus pini (Panzer), Nemosoma elongatum (Linnaeus) and Dichrostigma flavipes (Stein) represent new records for both the Marmara Region and the Bursa province. It has been observed that eight species of insects, region Clerus mutillarius (Fabricius), Thanasimus formicarius (Linnaeus), Aulonium ruficorne (Oliver), Cylister elongatus (Thunberg), Hypnogyra angularis (Ganglbauer), Megalinus scutellaris (Fauvel), Corticeus fraxini (Kugelann) and Temnochila caerulea (Olivier), have set new records for both the Marmara Region and the Bursa province of Turkey. Additionally, the presence of these species in the Bursa province represents a new record for the area. These findings were obtained through extensive studies of the insect populations in these regions.
