Abstract: The geographic distribution of the genus Choleva Latreille, 1796 in Turkey is studied. Three new species are described: Choleva {Choleva) mertliki sp. n. (southern Turkey, northwestern Syria), C. (C.) kostali sp. n. (southern Turkey) and C. (C.) safranboluensis sp. n. (northern Turkey). Additional faunistic records of further species are given. The first record of Choleva {Choleva) reitteri Petri, 1915 and the first reliable record of C. (C.) cisteloides (Frölich, 1799) from Turkey are presented. A list of all eighteen species presently known from the area is given. All available data on the distribution of Choleva in Turkey are reviewed and mapped.
