In this study, 110 adult Alydidae (Coreoidea) specimens belonging to 4 genera and 7 species were collected from 25 different localities in Anatolia in 2008–2009. These new records increased the number of Turkish Alydidae genera from 2 to 4 and species from 5 to 7. A key to the Alydidae genera of Turkey is provided. Megalotomus ornaticeps (Stål, 1858) and Namausus sordidatus (Stål, 1858) are recorded for the first time from Turkey, redescribed and their genitalia are illustrated.
