The aim of this study is to contribute to the recent distribution and systematic classification of Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) in 12 provinces in the Aegean, eastern Anatolia, and Thrace regions of Türkiye, with the records obtained from May 2020 to September 2021. Specimens were collected or photographed at 49 out of 132 localities. Twenty Zygaenidae species from five genera belonging to Procridinae and Zygaeninae subfamilies were recorded: Theresimima Strand, 1917 (1 species), Rhagades Wallengren, 1863 (1 species), Adscita Retzius, 1783 (1 species), Jordanita Verity, 1946 (5 species), and Zygaena Fabricius, 1775 (12 species). Zygaena (Zygaena) ephialtes (Linnaeus, 1767) was recorded again nearly 200 years later since after Herrich-Schäffer’s first record in 1845. Zygaena (Mesembrynus) lydia Staudinger, 1887 endemic to Türkiye, was also recorded in this study. In addition, new localities of Zygaena (Agrumenia) armena Eversman, 1851, which is known only in Türkiye and Georgia, were also recorded from the Ardahan province in the eastern Anatolia region of Türkiye.

Bu makalenin amacı, Türkiye’nin Ege, Doğu Anadolu ve Trakya bölgelerindeki 12 ilde bulunan Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera)’nin yakın dönemdeki dağılımı ve sistematik sınıflandırmasına Mayıs 2020- Eylül 2021 tarihleri arasında elde edilen kayıtlarla katkı sağlamaktır. Ziyaret edilen 132 alandan 49’unda Zygaenid güveleri toplanmış ya da fotoğraflanmıştır. Procridinae ve Zygaeninae alt familyalarına ait, 5 cinse giren, 20 Zygaenidae türü belirlenmiştir: Theresimima Strand, 1917 (1 tür), Rhagades Wallengren, 1863 (1 tür), Adscita Retzius, 1783 (1 tür), Jordanita Verity, 1946 (5 tür), ve Zygaena Fabricius, 1775 (12 tür). Zygaena (Zygaena) ephialtes (Linnaeus, 1767) de yaklaşık 200 yıl önceki Herrich-Schäffer (1845)’in ilk kaydından sonra Türkiye’nin Trakya bölgesindeki yeniden kaydedilmiştir. Türkiye’ye endemik olan Zygaena (Mesembrynus) lydia Staudinger, 1887, bu çalışmada güncel olarak kaydedilmiştir Ayrıca, sadece Türkiye ve Gürcistan’da bilinen Zygaena (Agrumenia) armena Eversman, 1851’ya ait yeni lokaliteler Doğu Anadolu Bölgesinde, Ardahan ilinden iletilmiştir.
