Abstract: This study is based upon material from Megalodontesidae, Argidae, Cimbicidae, Cephidae and Tenthredinidae collected from Bingöl and Diyarbakir provinces of Turkey between 2016 and 2018. The study resulted in recording for Turkish fauna of two species from one genera of Megalodontesidae, eight species from two genera of Argidae, two species from one genera of Cimbicidae, three species from three genera of Cephidae and 23 species from six genera of Tenthredinidae. In total, 38 species belonging to 13 genera of Symphyta are listed. Among them, Macrophya postica Brullé, 1832, Tenthredo bifasciata 0. F. Müller, 1766 and Tenthredo zonula Klug, 1817 have been found the most abundant and widespread species. Separately, Tenthredo (Elinora) baetica Spinola, 1843 is newly recorded from Turkey. In addition, new localities have been found for some species, which have already been reported from Turkey.

It is a mountainous country averaging about 1.000 meters in altitude. The topographic and climatic diversity of the region are important preconditions for the development of a rich and diverse fauna. Turkey is biogeographically one of the most interesting countries in the West Palaearctic region. The fauna of Hymenoptera of Turkey contains a large number of species in comparison with other Mediterranean countries, which are well known for their high biodiversity. The great richness and diversity of these families in the Turkish fauna is the result of the various topographic and climatic structure of the country. On the other hand, Turkey is a bound-ISSN 1587-1908 (Print); ISSN 2062-9990 (Online)
