Abstract

This study was conducted on different plants in different habitats of Artvin, Bingöl, Diyarbakır, Elazığ, Erzurum, Kahramanmaraş, Muş, and Van provinces in southern and eastern Turkey between 2015 and 2023. Samples were collected by hand, mouth aspirator, and sweep nets during different periods. Seven 7 subfamilies, 20 genera and 36 species were identified in this study. Among these species, 36 species, including 4 species in Artvin, 10 species in Bingöl, 2 species in Elâzığ, 2 species in Kahramanmaraş, 9 species in Muş and 8 species in Van, are new records for the fauna of their provinces. Among these species, Cryptocephalus lederi Weise, 1889 is the 3rd, Chrysolina grata grata (Faldermann, 1837) is the 2nd, Derocrepis serbica Kutschera, 1860 is the 4th, Longitarsus cerinthes (Schrank, 1798) and Exosoma thoracicum (Redtenbacher, 1843) is the 5th record for the fauna of Turkey. In addition, Cassida palaestina Reiche, 1858 are new records of Eastern Anatolia. In the present study, the location of the species, the plants on which they were collected, their distribution in Turkey and new records for some species were evaluated.
