Abstract

Abstract. Öktener A, Ala? A, Türker D. 2017. The morphological characters of Mothocya taurica (Czerniavsky, 1868) and Emetha audouini (H. Milne Edwards, 1840) from Turkey. Bonorowo Wetlands 7: 55-64. This paper aims to present morphological characters of two species, Mothocya taurica (Czerniavsky, 1868) and Emetha audouini (H. Milne Edwards, 1840) from Turkey. Although Mothocya taurica with different synonymies were described by several researchers, Bruce (1986) indicated the necessity of redescription of Mothocya taurica. Pleopods 1 to 5 having medial peduncle margin with 4 hooks of Emetha audouini is found for the first time in this study as distinct from other studies. Also, the host preferences of these parasites are given.
