M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: 30.06.2015, Kırkareli, Babaeski , Doğanca , 1♂ (leg. & det. A. DURSUN & M. FENT).

R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Body length 2.8 mm., head width 0.7 mm, and head length 0.3 mm. Body generally Brown. Head blackish Brown. Head with eyes slightly narrower than pronotum, eyes quite large. Antennas located in front of eyes scapular and pedicel segments dark brown and with dirty white speckled, flagellum filiform and long. Frons blackish brown, with two parallel carinae near eyes.

Hind legs and thorax reddish brown. Lateral edges of hind tibias with a spine. Abdomen ventral with dirty yellow stained ( Fig 4 ). Pygophore without spines, anal tube as in figure 5.

D i s t r i b u t i o n: Thespecies C. bonellii is distributed in Europe; Austria, Bosnia- Herzogovina, Croatia, Bulgaria, France, Greece, Italy (including Sardegna, Sicily), Hungary, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and as well as the Nearctic zoogeographic region in the United States (California) ( O’BRIEN 1967; DROSOPOULOS 1990; MÜHLETHALER et al. 2009; BARTLETT et al. 2014)

In the study, the species Caliscelis bonellii (LATREILLE, 1807) of the family Caliscelidae is recorded the first time in Thrace region of Turkey. The species number of the genus Caliscelis known from Turkey was increased to 3 by the addition Caliscelis bonellii . The present finding is the easternmost record of distribution of the species. It is possible to say for this species which is not distrubuted in Asia and has not recorded in the Asian part of Turkey yet, the straits (Dardanel and Bosphorus) and Marmara See are formed a barrier.

Caliscelis bonelli is known as threatened species (EN) to the criteria of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in Switzerland ( MÜHLETHALER et al. 2016). The fact that a single sample has been found in the studies carried out for 3 years in the Thrace region, this found give the impression that rarely distributed.
