In this study, all samples were collected from Turkey (Gümüşhane and Bayburt provinces) between June 2010 and October 2012. They were evaluated systematically. As a result of these evaluations, 20 species in 14 genera belonging to 4 families were determined. One of them, Rilaena triangularis (Herbst, 1799), is recorded for the first time from Turkey. GPS data of each collecting site, and distribution in Turkey and all over the world of these species are presented in the text. © 2015, Verlag dr Friedrich Pfeil. All rights reserved.
