Abstract
The new species Larinus atillai sp. nov., associated with the Turkish endemic plant Jurinea pontica Hausskn. & Freryn, is described from western Turkey. The new species is closely related to Larinus idoneus Gyllenhal, 1835. Digital images of morphological characters, habitat of type locality, host plant and adults are presented.
