Abstract: Zophohelops montanatolicus sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Helopini:
Cylindrinotina), the first representative of this genus in Turkey, is described
from south-eastern Anatolia. It is the second species known in the western part
of the disjunct distribution range of the genus Zophohelops Reitter, 1902 (South
Armenia and Hakkari Mountains; the eastern part covers Tien Shan Mts. and
southern Tajikistan). New data about the distribution of Helopocerodes Reitter,
1922, the subgenus of the genus Nalassus Mulsant, 1854, in south-eastern
Anatolia are given.
