Abstract

New taxonomic and faunistic data to species of the genus Laena Dejean, 1821 (subfamily Lagriinae) from Turkey are given. Some of the species occur also in adjacent Greece, Bulgaria, as well as in Cyprus, Near East and the Caucasus. Very probably not yet all synonyms of the Turkish species might be recognised herein. New species: L. assingi sp. nov. from southern Turkey, L. bozdagica sp. nov. from the Izmir region. New synonyms: Laena ferruginea Küster, 1846 (L. clivinoides Baudi di Selve, 1876 n. syn., L. constricta Iablokoff-Khnzoryan, 1957 n. syn., L. liliputana Kaszab, 1968 n. syn.). New record for Turkey: L. quadricollis Weise, 1878; new record for Greece (Chios, Lesbos, Samos): L. kraatzi Weise, 1878; new record for Cyprus: L. glabriuscula Sahlberg, 1909. Erroneous records for Turkey: L. apfelbecki Schuster, 1915, L. hopffgarteni Weise, 1878, L. kaufmanni Reitter, 1881.
