Munis Entomology & Zoology, 9 (1): 214-226] ABSTRACT: The paper gives chorotype identifications for Turkish Galerucinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). In association with this, some zoogeographical remarks are also given in the text. KEY WORDS: Galerucinae, Chrysomelidae, Fauna, Zoogeography, Turkey. Works on Turkish leaf beetles began in late 19th century. Especially since the last century, they were increased as chiefly faunistic and taxonomic works. Recently, they continue with an increased speed. Clearly, there is no any work on zoogeographical regionalisation of Turkish Chrysomeloidea related the whole territories of Turkey or regions of Turkey (see Part I for regions in Turkey) at the present. As known, a series work was planned that is aim to expose zoogeographical regionalisations of Turkish Chrysomeloidea fauna. Özdikmen & Kaya (2014), Özdikmen & Mercan (2014), Özdikmen & Cihan (2014), Özdikmen & Özbek (2014) and Özdikmen & Kavak (2014) are the previous works for this aim. The present study is attempted as the sixth step of this aim. ARRANGEMENT OF INFORMATION Information in the present text is given in the following order: The subfamily, genus, species and subspecies names are given simply. For each genus, species and subspecies are presented with the author name and date of description. The data, Range, Records in Turkey, Remarks and Chorotype under the title for each taxon is given. Range. In these parts, the whole distribution areas in world are provided for each taxon as in Löbl & Smetana (2010) (see the cited reference for the abbreviations). Records in Turkey. In these parts, the whole distribution areas in Turkey are provided for each taxon as in Ekiz et al. (2013) (see the cited reference for the abbreviations). Remarks. In these parts, regional and general distribution in Turkey are given chiefly. Chorotype. The present zoogeographical characterization. The present zoogeographical characterization is based on the chorotype classification of Anatolian fauna, recently proposed by Vigna Taglianti et al. (1999). In the text, as far as possible one chorotype description can be identificated for each taxon. But this kind of description can not be possible for some taxa, so two or more chorotypes are used for them. With this purpose, Löbl & Smetana (2010) for the range in the world, Ekiz et al. (2013) for the provincial distribution in Turkey and Özdikmen et al. (2014) for the fauna of Turkey are used chiefly.
