In this faunistic study, a total of 1727 specimens collected during the years of 2003-2004 from various localities of the Kahramanmaraş province were examined. In the results of the identification of these specimens, a total of 55 taxa belonging to 4 subfamilies, 28 geniuses, 51 species and 4 subspecies were determined. Clytus ciliciensis Chevrolat, 1863, Dorcadion anatolicum Pic, 1900, Dorcadion bangi heinzorum Braun, 1975, rcadion lameeri Thery, 1896, Dorcadion oezdurali Önalp, 1988 and Dorcadion semibrunneum (Pic, 1903) are endemic taxa. Also a total of 44 taxa among the examined taxa in this study are the first records for the Kahramanmaraş province.
