Abstract
Philonthus Stephens, 1829 is the most speciose genus of the tribe Staphylini in the world. In this present study, faunistic contributions to the Philonthus fauna of Türkiye were made along with additional records. A total of 30 species were recorded from the examined material which was composed of specimens collected from the Aegean Region between 2019-2022. Among them, 13 species are new records for the region and new province records for 15 species are also provided. Additionally, first detailed locality records are provided for the widely distributed Philonthus viridipennis Fauvel, 1875. Besides several ecological properties, general distribution of species in Türkiye and other zoogeographical regions are presented and discussed. Previous records from the study region are given and evaluated with our results, zoogeographic status of species is discussed. As a result of the study, composition of the collected species represent regional characters, as they mostly belong to the European and Asian fauna.

Abstract
Philonthus Stephens, 1829, Staphylinini tribüsünün dünyada türce en zengin cinsidir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye Philonthus faunasına yeni kayıtlar aracılığı ile faunistik katkılar yapılmıştır. 2019-2022 yılları arasında Ege Bölgesinden toplanan örneklerden oluşan inceleme materyalinden, toplamda 30 tür kaydedilmiştir. Bunların arasından 13 tür bölge için yeni kayıttır ve 15 tür için de yeni il kayıtları sağlanmıştır. Ayrıca, geniş bir dağıla sahip olan Philonthus viridipennis Fauvel, 1875 türü için ilk ayrıntılı dağılım kayıtları verilmiştir. Birkaç ekolojik özelliğin yanısıra, türlerin Türkiye ve diğer zoocoğrafik bölgelerdeki genel dağılımları sunulmuş ve tartışılmıştır. Bölgeden daha önceki kayıtlar verilerek kendi sonuçlarımızla değerlendirilmiş, türlerin zoocoğrafik durumları tartışılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucu olarak, toplanan türlerin kompozisyonu, türlerin çoğunlukla Avrupa ve Asya faunasına ait olmasından ötürü, bölgesel karakterleri yansıtmaktadır.
