Annals of the Upper Silesian Museum (Entomology) 14-15: 7 12. Bytom 29.12.2007 Lech Borowiec Cassidinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) collected in Turkey during expeditions of the Upper Silesian Museum, Bytom, Poland Abstract. A list of 16 species of cassidine beetles collected in Turkey during expeditions of the Upper Silesian Museum, Bytom, poland is given. Key words: Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae, faunistica, Turkey. The tortoise beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) of Turkey are well known. Recently, Kismali and Sassi (1994, 1997) summarised all published information on distribution of these beetles in Turkey, and provided numerous new faunistic data. They listed 33 species from the country, including 6 new to the region. At last, Sekerka (2006) described Cassida strejceki from eastern Turkey, a new species of Cassida undecimnotata group, thus Turkish fauna lists 34 species of tortoise beetles. Present paper contains a list of Cassidinae species collected during expeditions of the Upper Silesian Museum, Bytom, Poland in years 2000 2005. Material has been housed in the Upper Silesian Museum in Bytom and the private collections of Roman Królik (Kluczbork, Poland) and Andrzej Lasoń (Białystok, Poland). Some doublets are preserved in the Department of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Taxonomy, Zoological Institute, University of Wrocław (Wrocław, Poland). Species and localities within particular provinces are listed alphabetically. List of species Cassida atrata Fabricius, 1787 Ankara: 15 km N of Karahamzali, 39.20 N 32.55 E, 20 VI 2004, 1 ex., leg.
