This study was carried out in order to determine dung beetles in the order Coleoptera (Scarabaeidae, Histeridae and Hydrophilidae) in Karacadağ Mountain (Diyarbakır, Mardin, Şanlıurfa provinces) during 2017-2018. As a result of this study, 13 species belonging to Scarabaeidae, 2 species belonging to Hydrophilidae and 1 species belonging to Histeridae families were determined. Totally, 16 species were found. Of these, Aphodius (Otophorus) haemorrhoidalis, A. contaminatus, A. fimetarius, Atholus bimaculatus, Biralus satellitius, Scarabaeus sacer, Sphaeridium marginatum and S. scarabaeoides were recorded for the first time from Diyarbakır, Mardin, Şanlıurfa provinces. Cheironitis pamphilus was recorded for the first time from Diyarbakır and Sanlıurfa provinces and also Colobopterus erraticus, Euonthophagus amyntas alces and E. atramentarius were recorded for the first time from Mardin province. In this study, S. scarabaeoides (21.66%) was the most predominant dung beetle species found. The highest number of adult dung beetle species were recorded in Şanlıurfa Province accounting for 72.57 %. The lowest number of adult dung beetle species were recorded in Mardin Province accounting for 8.82 %.

Çalışma sonunda Scarabaeidae familyasından 13 tür, Hydrophilidae familyasından 2 tür ve Histeridae familyasından 1 tür bulunmuştur. Toplamda 16 tür kaydedilmiştir. Bu türlerden Aphodius (Otophorus) haemorrhoidalis, A. contaminatus, A. fimetarius, Atholus bimaculatus, Biralus satellitius, Scarabaeus sacer, Sphaeridium marginatum ve S. scarabaeoides Diyarbakır, Mardin, Şanlıurfa illeri için ilk kayıt niteliğindedir. Ayrıca Cheironitis pamphilus Diyarbakır ve Şanlıurfa için Colobopterus erraticus, Euonthophagus amyntas alces ve E. atramentarius ise Mardin ili için ilk kayıttır. Çalışmada en baskın gübre böceği türü S. scarabaeoides (21.66%) olmuştur. En fazla ergin tür adedine Şanlıurfa’da (72.57 %) rastlanılmıştır. En düşük adet ise 8.82 % ile Mardin’de kaydedilmiştir.
