Abstract

The genus Leptobium Casey, 1905 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) is represented in the Palearctic Region by 73 species and two subspecies. As a result of field survey in the north and southern Turkey between 2008 and 2021, a new species of the genus Leptobium is described and illustrated from Tekirdağ Province (Ganos Mountains, northwestern Turkey), and distinguished from related congeners: Leptobium thracicum sp. n. Additional records of five species of Leptobium from Turkey are presented. The genus is now represented in Turkey by 20 species with 15 of them endemic.

Abstract

Leptobium Casey (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) cinsi Palearktik Bölgede 73 tür ve iki alttür ile temsil edilen bir cinstir. Bu yayında, kuzey ve güney Türkiye’de 2008-2021 yılları arasında yapılan arazi çalışmaları sonucunda, Leptobium Casey cinsinden Leptobium thracicum sp. n. türü kuzeybatı Türkiye’de bulunan Tekirdağ İli’nden (Ganos Dağları) tanımlanarak şekillendirilmiş ve yakın türlerden farklılıkları gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca, Türkiye’deki beş Leptobium türüne ait faunistik kayıtlar sunulmuştur. Böylece, bu cins şu anda Türkiye’de 20 türle temsil edilmekte olup bunların 15’i bu ülkeye endemiktir.
