Abstract

Three micropterous and apparently locally endemic species of Sunius Curtis, 1829 from central southern Turkey are described and illustrated: S. brevispinosus sp. n. (Kahramanmara), S. longispinosus sp. n. (Kahramanmara), and S. pauli sp. n. (Malatya). Additional records are presented for two species. The distributions of all the treated species are mapped. 20 species of Sunius are now known from Turkey, including one name of doubtful identity. A supplement to a recent key to the Turkish representatives of the genus is provided.
