Ctenophthalmus (Spalacoctenophthalmus) beyzanurae n. sp. was collected from Nannospalax leucodon Nordmann (Mammalia: Rodentia) in Tekirdağ province while Ctenophthalmus (Euctenophthalmus) kefelioglui n. sp. and Ctenophthalmus (Euctenophthalmus) teres anatolicus n. ssp. were collected from Microtus guentheri (Danford & Alston) and Apodemus uralensis (Pallas) (Mammalia: Rodentia) in the Aksaray and Kars provinces of Turkey, respectively. Detailed illustrations of new taxa described were also provided.
