Abstract: This study is based on material Leucospidae, Sapygidae and Vespidae specimens collected from Bingöl, Diyarbakir and Mu§ provinces of Turkey between 2016 and 2020. Two species from one genus of Leucospidae, three species from two genera of Sapygidae and 43 species from 18 genera in four subfamilies of Vespidae are recorded. In total, 48 species belonging to 21 genera are listed. Photographs of the identified species are provided.

The Hymenoptera fauna of Turkey contains high diversity of species similarly to other mediterranean countries, which are well known for their high biodiversity (Kaplan et al. 2018). The Vespidae is rather big family of Aculeate wasps belonging to the superfamily Vespoidea. The data from previous studies, a total 269 species and 32 subspecies in 53 genera of the subfamilies Vespinae, Polistinae, Eumeninae, and Masarinae belonging to Vespidae are recorded from Turkey (Yildirim 2012, Yildirim & Gusenleitner 2012, 2015). The families of Leucospidae and Sapygidae are members of the smallest of the Apocrita suborder. A total 15 species in six genera of the subfamilies Fedtschenkiinae and Sapyginae belonging to Sapygidae are recorded from Turkey (Yildirim 2016). The Leucospidae family is one of the smallest of the Chalcidoidea families. This family have 143 species described in 4 genera in the world fauna (Noyes 2018, Lima & Dias 2018).
