Contributions to the Knowledge of Leaf Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Fauna in Elazığ, Erzincan and Tunceli Provinces, Turkey

Abstract

The study is based on leaf beetle material collected from Elazığ, Erzincan and Tunceli provinces of Turkey during 2018 and 2019. As a result of examined specimens 44 taxa are identified totally. The numbers of taxa according to the provinces are 23 from Elazığ, 15 from Erzincan and 11 from Tunceli. 19 out of 23 species in Elazığ, 12 out of 15 species in Erzincan and all the reported species in Tunceli are new records. Notes regarding some species are provided under the title "remarks". In addition, the presence of Galeruca spectabilis spectabilis (Faldermann, 1837) in Turkey is confirmed with the exact locality data. The present study aims to contribute Turkish leaf beetle fauna with new locality records.
