Abstract

In this study, as a result of field studies conducted in Edirne province in the Marmara Region of Türkiye between March 2021 and June 2022, totally 18 species in 11 genera belonging to the subfamily Paederinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) were recorded. Field studies were conducted from different localities in Edirne Province by using aspirator and sifter methods. A new species of the genus Lathrobiuum Gravenhorst, 1802 Lathrobium gocmeni sp. n. (Edirne, Enez) is described illusturated and distinguished from congeners. Astenus thoracicus (Baudi di Selve, 1857), A. procerus (Gravenhorst, 1806), Lobrathium rugipenne (Hochhuth, 1851), Medon fusculus (Mannerheim, 1830), Micrillus testaceus (Erichson, 1840), Paederus littoralis, Gravenhorst, 1802, and Scopaeus gracilis (Sperk, 1835) from Thrace, and Lathrobium fulvipenne Gravenhorst, 1806 are reported for the first time from the Marmara Region. In addition, all 18 species except for Achenium propontiacum Bordoni, 2009 and Scopaeus laevigatus (Gyllenhal, 1827) were recorded for the first time from Edirne province.
