Özet
This study was designed to compare the potential differences in the colonization of Chironomidae pupal fauna in variousleaf packs. The study was carried out in Tunca River (Edirne). Three stations were selected in the river and 5 different leafpacks (Platanus orientalis L., Ulmus leavis Pall., Morus alba L., Juglans regia L., and artificial Buxus sp.) were used to takesamples. 20 kg potato bags were used during leaves packaging, prepared 5 packages of each leaves and a total of 25 packetswere placed in each of the stations. Chironomidae pupal samples were collected from June 2012 to October 2012. Thecollected samples were placed in 70% ethyl alcohol, brought to the laboratory and diagnosed under stereo microscope. ThenANOVA test was used to analyse Chironomidae pupae in dates, stations, and leaf packs and 0.05 ? statistical significancewas used in all tests. When there was a meaningful difference, the reason was revealed by the Tukey test. Chironomidaepupae were found at most 3, 1 and 2. stations respectively and in leaf species of artificial Buxus sp. and Ulmus leavis. Eightspecies were identified in leaf packs. The Polypedilum (Polypedilum) nubeculosum (Meigen, 1804) was found to be the mostcommon species.
