The results regarding Aphodiinae from several field researches in Edirne Province and neighbouring areas (European Turkey) for a total of 3084 specimens belonging to 35 species, are reported. New combinations for Agrilinus sordidus, Alocoderus turbatus, Chilotborax distinctus, Esymus pusillus, Eudolus quadrinaevulus, Euorodalus paracoenosus, Melinopterus stolzi, Planolinus vittatus, and Pseudacrossus suffertus are established. For E. quadrinaevulus both a redescription and the iconography are supplied. For Melinopterus punctatosulcatus (Sturm, 1805), the adoption of the names punctatosulcatus for the western and hirtipes (downgraded to subspecific rank) for the eastern subspecies of the taxon is proposed and its synonymy is updated. The zoogeographical analysis of involved taxa is supplied.
