It was based on a short but intensive collecting trip made in April-September 2014-2016. Eighty species were reported, many firstly recorded for collecting sites. From these species, 1 species belonging to each of the Ochteridae, Nabidae, Tingidae, Artheneidae, Blissidae, Heterogastridae families, 10 species belonging to Miridae family, 7 species belonging to Reduviidae family, 6 species belonging to Coreidae family, 10 species belonging to Rhopalidae family, 2 species belonging to each of the Alydidae, Berytidae, Geocoridae, Cydinidae and Scutelleridae families, 17 species belonging to Lygaeidae family, 11 species belonging to Pentatomidae family and 3 species belonging to Pyrrhocoridae family were obtained. The most of these species are new record for these locations. Keywords: Hemiptera, heteroptera, fauna, East Anatolia, turkey, new regional record 1. Introduction Heteroptera species of the Eastern Turkey are still little known. The Heteroptera fauna of eastern part of Turkey is still little known compared to the one of the other parts of Anatolia. Önder et al. [1] listed a total of 1526 heteropteran species/subspecies for the whole Turkey, in which they have included eastern species The last work of Matocq and Özgen [2] , Gözüaçık et al. [37] , Dursun and Fent, [3] , Fent et al. [4] , Yıldırım et al, [5] , Matocq et al. [6] , Yazıcı et al [7, 8, 45] , Çerçi and Koçak, [9] ; gave an good review of the studies realized in this area. The bugs specimens were collected around Bitlis, Bingöl, Elazığ, Erzincan, Malatya, Muş and Tunceli country (Eastern Turkey), in different localities. 2. Materials and Methods The bugs were mainly collected by hand and visual sampling. Specimens were caught by sweep-netting the herbaceous vegetation, or collected by beating the branches of trees and shrubs over a white net. Studies were carried between years 2013-2017 in different localities (Bitlis, Bingöl, Elazığ, Erzincan, Malatya, Muş and Tunceli country (Eastern Turkey). The species were identified and analyzed their geographic distribution starting from the main historical work on the Heteroptera of Turkey [47] which gave impetus to all the following ones. We have also studied the volumes containing the classification keys of Tingidae [48] , Berytidae [49] , Nabidae [50] , Lygaeoidea with the allied families [51, 52, 53] , Pentatomidae [54, 55, 56, 67] and Ochteridae [57] . For Miridae we consulted three volumes concerning the fauna of the Mediterranean and surrounding Areas [58] and the supplement [59] . For Reduviidae, reference was made to the volume of the Faune de France [60] , for Coreoidea (Coreidae, Rhopalidae, Alydidae), Pyrrhocoridae, Stenocephalidae [61] . General distribution of the species is presented according to the Catalogue of the Heteroptera of the Palaearctic Region in six volumes [62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67] . Finally, specimens preserved into the collections of the Natural History Museum in Milan (Italy) and the Authors (Fırat University, Bioengineering Department and First author private collection (İstanbul), were consulted. 3.
