Lythraria Bedel is a monotypic genus of leaf beetles in the tribe Alticini (Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae), with its unique species Lythraria salicariae (Paykull, 1800) distributed across the Palearctic ecozone. Lythraria salicariae was recorded for the first time from Turkey during field sampling conducted in olive grove areas of various regions in the Antalya Province. A total of 26 flea beetle species classified in 10 genera were collected by beating from olive trees, including L. salicariae. This contribution adds taxonomic and zoogeographic knowledge about L. salicariae, and brings the actual number of flea beetle species reported in Turkey to 345 across 23 genera.

Yaprak böceklerinin Alticini (Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) tribusuna ait monotipik bir cins olan Lythraria Bedel, Palearktik bölgede yayılış gösteren tek bir türe, L. salicariae (Paykull, 1800), sahiptir. Antalya ilinin farklı bölgelerindeki zeytin bahçelerinde gerçekleştirilen örneklemeler sırasında, Lythraria salicariae Türkiye için ilk kez kaydedilmiştir. Lythraria ile birlikte toplam 10 cinse ait 26 yaprak pire böceği türü zeytin ağaçlarından darbe yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Bu çalışmayla Lythraria salicariae’nın taksonomik ve zoocoğrafik verilerine yeni katılımlar sağlanmış, ayrıca Türkiye’den rapor edilen toplam yaprak pire böceği tür sayısı 23 cinse ait 345 tür olarak güncellenmiştir.
