Abstract

In the study, Medon turcicus sp. nov. from Yıldız Mountain in Sivas province, central northern Anatolia, Turkey, is described, illustrated, and separated from related congeners. The distribution of the new species is mapped. Additional Turkish records of seven Medon species, all earlier known from Turkey, are reported. Accounting for a new species, a total of 23 species of Medon are now known from Turkey.
