Seven species of Staphylinidae from Turkey are described and illustrated: Notothecta pisidica sp. n., Liogluta akiana sp. n., Acrotona concamerata sp. n., Chaetosogonocephus adventicius sp. n., Derocala brachati sp. n., Cousya crocea sp. n., and Oxypoda (Deropoda) schminkei sp. n. Their distributions are mapped. The following synonymy is proposed: Deropoda Bernhauer, 1902 = Baptopoda Bernhauer, 1902, syn. n. Additional records of various rare or lesser known species are presented, among them seven first records from Turkey. Megaloscapa punctipennis (Kraatz) is reported from Turkey and from Greece for the second and first time, respectively.
