Abstract
Two new species belonging to the genus Leptobium Casey (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) are described, illustrated, and distinguished from congeners: Leptobium kunti sp. nov. (Bolu province) and L. straboi sp. nov. (Amasya province). Distributions of the endemic Leptobium species in central northern Turkey are mapped. A total of 23 species is now known from Turkey, with newly discovered species.
