Simulium. petricolum (25.73%) was the most prevalent specie while S. alajense (0.02%) was the least. In conclusion, Simuliiumlineatum, S. pseudequinum, S. balcanicum and S. alajense were detected in Kızılırmak basin previously but S. petricolum,S. equinum and S. erythrocephalum were recorded first time in this place.
