Munis Entomology & Zoology, 13 (2): 507-518] ABSTRACT: We had the opportunity to study some material of the subfamilies Donaciinae, Criocerinae, Clytrinae, Chrysomelinae and Galerucinae (Chrysomelidae) collected during the expedition of Çankırı province in 2013-2015. As a result of this, thirty species to the fauna of Çankırı province in Turkey were determined. All species are the first record for Çankırı province. 3 species of them as Crioceris duodecimpunctata (Linnaeus), Coptocephala gebleri Gebler and Chrysolina didymata (L. G. Scriba) are the first record for Western Black Sea region of Turkey. Also 2 species of them as Clytra valeriana Ménétriés and Clytra bodemeyeri Weise are the new records for Black Sea region of Turkey (incl. Western Black Sea region). In addition 2 species of them as Galeruca armeniaca Weise and Galerucella calmariensis (Linnaeus) are the first record for Central Anatolian region of Turkey. KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, fauna, new records, Çankırı, Turkey The fauna of Donaciinae, Criocerinae, Clytrinae, Chrysomelinae, and Galerucinae (Galerucini, Hylaspini and Luperini) of Turkey includes a total of 17 species of 3 genera, 13 species of 4 genera, 76 species group taxa (58 species and 18 subspecies) of 8 genera, 102 species group taxa (50 species and 52 subspecies) of 15 genera and 68 species group taxa (56 species and 12 subspecies) of 15 genera respectively (Ekiz et al., 2013; Özdikmen, 2014; Özdikmen et al., 2014; Özdikmen & Özbek, 2014; Özdikmen & Mercan, 2014; Özdikmen & Topcu, 2014). This work is based on the specimens collected from Çankırı province. The province is located in Central Kızılırmak part in Central Anatolian region of Turkey (Özdikmen & Kaya, 2014). Çankırı is a province in the North of Central Anatolian region of Turkey. Northern counties of the province are in Western Black Sea region. It is bordered by Karabük and Kastamonu provinces in the North, Çorum province in the East, Kırıkkale province in the South-east, Ankara province in the South and Bolu province in the West. It is situated about 800 m above sea level. It has a total of 12 counties (incl. Center county) (Map 1). The counties of Çankırı province are Center, Atkaracalar, Bayramören, Çerkeş, Eldivan, Ilgaz, Kızılırmak, Korgun, Kurşunlu, Orta, Şabanözü and Yapraklı. Eldivan, Kızılırmak, Şabanözü, Yapraklı and Center counties are placed in Central Anatolian region of Turkey. The remaining 7 counties of Çankırı province are located in Western Black Sea region of Turkey. The aim of the current work is to provide data on some new leaf beetles for the fauna of Çankırı province in Turkey. New faunistical data on thirty species are presented. MATERIALS AND METHODS The available specimens for the present study were collected by the first author from Çankırı province in Turkey in 2013-2015. As a result of identification, 1 species of Donaciinae, 2 species of Criocerinae, 6 species of Clytrinae, 13 species _____________Mun. Ent. Zool. Vol. 13, No. 2, June 2018__________ 508 of Chrysomelinae and 8 species of Galerucinae were determined as the new records for Çankırı province. The available specimens for the present study are deposited at Gazi University (Turkey, Ankara). The Turkish distribution patterns for each species are given only concerning provinces. Ekiz et al. (2013), Özdikmen (2014), Özdikmen & Özbek (2014), Özdikmen & Mercan (2014) and Özdikmen & Topcu (2014) for distribution data of taxa in Turkey are used in the text.
