Faunistic composition, ecological properties and zoogeographical composition of the subfamily Aleocharinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) of the central Anatolian region of Turkey

The scope of this study is to make evaluations on faunistic, ecological and zoogeographical composition of the subfamily Aleocharinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) of the Central Anatolian Region of Turkey.
