Most of the specimens examined were collected from the Marmara, Aegean, Central Anatolia, Western and Central Blacksea Regions. The specimens collected in this study were collected with aspirators and light traps. As a result of field studies, a total of eight species belonging to three genera were recorded. These are Paederidus rubrothoracicus (Goeze, 1777); P. ruficollis (Fabricius, 1777); Paederus balcanicus Koch, 1938, P. fuscipes Curtis, 1826, P. riparius Linnaeus, 1758, P. littoralis Gravenhorst, 1802, P. mesopotamicus Eppelsheim, 1889 and Uncopaederus signiventris (Smetana, 1962). Among these species, P. rubrothoracicus and P. ruficollis from the Marmara and Central Black Sea Regions, P. fuscipes from the Western Black Sea Region, and P. riparius from the Marmara Region of Turkey were reported for the first time. The presence of P. balcanicus in Türkiye has been confirmed. U. signiventris is endemic and distributed only in the Black Sea Region.
