In this study, genetic diversity levels of populations of Galeodes, distributing The Bolkar Mountains in Türkiye, was investigated using RAPD-pcr markers. A total of 29 samples (Galeodes graecus, G. lycaonis, G. toelgi, Galeodes sp. 1 and Galeodes sp. 2) were collected from 20 different localities and were analysed. Gnosippus sp. was evaluate as outgroup. It was calculated that the genetic diversity level was very high in G. toelgi and G. graecus spreading on the southern slopes, while this value reached the highest level in G. lycaonis on the northern slopes. This value was observed at the lowest level in Galeodes sp. 1 and Galeodes sp. 2. It was determined that the taxa which are spreading on the northern and southern slopes, were groupped on separete lines on the UPGMA trees created using the genetic distance values of Nei.
