Its occurrence in Turkeyis quite unlikely, and the published records should be revised.   Rhynocoris rubricus(Germar, 1814), a species known only in Italyand former Yugoslavia, was first mentioned by Horváth (1905)and later by Hoberlandt (1956), but these records are erroneous.   Rhynocoris monticola(Oshanin, 1871)is distributed in Central Asia; the records by Horváth (1901)are erroneous ( Putshkov and Putshkov, 1996).   Peirates stridulus(Fabricius, 1787)was mentioned by Coscarón (1997) from Asian Turkey, but according to Putshkov and Moulet (2010), the record of this western Mediterranean species (unknown in Italyand Greece) should be revised.  The mention of  Ischnonyctes barbarus(Lucas, 1849)by Hoberlandt (1956)is based on misidentified  Metapterus
