Abstract

The scope of this article is the taxonomy and biogeography of the rove beetle subtribe Scopaeina Mulsant & Rey in the Middle East with an emphasis on the Anatolian fauna. Scopaeus menteshensis sp. n. from the Muğla and Denizli Provinces in the southwest of Turkey is described, and its phylogeographic relationships are discussed. New records for Micranops pilicornis(Baudi) and 29 species of Scopaeus are presented and discussed against the background of the distribution pattern of the respective species. They include 2 new country records (S. elegans: Jordan, S. filiformis: United Arab Emirates) and 71 first records at the province level, 59 of which for provinces of Turkey. Recently published records of S. alaniensis, S. bicolor, S. kurdistanicoides, S. laevigatus, and S. minutoides for Iran are implausible and rejected.
