Abstract

Phyllotreta ispartaensis new species is described from specimens collected on Cardaria draba (L.) (Brassicaceae) in southwest Turkey. This new species is compared with P. cruralis Abeille and P. rapillyi Doguet. All three species are clearly distinguishable by differences in their antennae and aedeagi. Morphometric measurements of the new species are given, and the aedeagus is illustrated.
