A new species of Megalodorcadion (Anatolodorcadion) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Turkey
Megalodorcadion (Anatolodorcadion) nudefasciatum sp. nov. is described
from Kutahya Province (Turkey). This new taxon is close to M. (A.)
glabrofasciatum (Daniel, 1900). A revised key for the species of
Megalodorcadion is proposed

Turkish Pogonocherini with Zoogeographical Remarks (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
All taxa of the tribe Pogonocherini in Turkey are evaluated and summarized with zoogeographical remarks and analysis. Ten species are established, belonging to two genera: 1 to Parmenopsis and 9 to Pogonocherus. A new record, Pogonocherus eugeniae is presented for Turkey. Some new faunistical data of some species are also given
OXYMIRUS CURSOR AND LEPTURA AURULENTA (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE): FIRST RECORDS FOR TURKEY
Two lepturine longicorn beetles, Oxymirus cursor (Linnaeus, 1758) and Leptura aurulenta Fabricius, 1792 with zoogeographical remarks are recorded for the first time in Turkey
DNA Barcoding as useful tool to identify crop pest flea beetles of Turkey
Flea beetles (Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini), with similar to
8,000 species worldwide, include pest species causing substantial
economic damage to crops. The genera Phyllotreta and Chaetocnema include
both pest and non-pest species. An accurate and fast taxonomic
identification approach is required for discriminating among taxa for
non-expert taxonomists; moreover, the utility of this approach spans
from biodiversity conservation to the monitoring of pest species. DNA
barcoding represents a reliable and easy identification tool based on
the use of short DNA sequences. In this study, 45 new COI sequences of
13 Phyllotreta and five Chaetocnema species, representing similar to
30\% and similar to 20\% of the Turkish species belonging to these
genera, were provided. These sequences increased by similar to 18\% and
similar to 25\% the number of species of these genera whose sequences
are available in BOLD. In order to test DNA barcoding efficiency in
Phyllotreta and Chaetocnema species identification, we created a data
set consisting of sequences belonging to species present in the Middle
East and available in BOLD plus the sequences developed in this study
(36 species). The efficiency of species identification, estimated using
best close match analysis (with the ad hoc calculated optimal distance
threshold of 1.5\%), was 99\%. The overall intraspecific and
interspecific mean nucleotide divergences were 1.4\% and 20\%,
respectively. Interestingly, COI sequences of Phyllotreta nigripes
clustered into two well-separated groups with a high value of the
between-group nucleotide distance (11.4\%), which suggests the presence
of cryptic species. In addition, information was provided on the crops
exploited by the collected organisms and the observed damage
