Abstract

We present confirmation, with exact locality data, of the presence in Turkey of Acmenychus inermis. The presence in Türkiye of all Acmenyhus Weise, 1905 species has been reported mostly as generically in Anatolia without exact locality data up to now. Thus, the presence in Turkey of Acmenychus inermis (Zoubkoff, 1833) is confirmed with exact locality data for the first time. The Acmenychus species found on wheat plants from Çorum province is one of the three species of this genus found in the western palearctic. We provide both a genus key of the Turkish Hispini tribe and a species key of the genus Acmenychus. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images of the elytra, pronotum, antennae, head, and male genitalia (Aedeagus) of Acmenychus inermis are provided. Detailed pictures of this species are also included in this study.
