Abstract :
Forty-seven species belonging to 7 genera of Alticini are presented based on the investigations conducted on Davraz Mountain (Isparta). Host plant relationships of 24 species established from the area are listed. Brassicaceae, Scrophulariaceae, and Lamiaceae seem to be the most preferred host plant families among others. Three species from the genus Longitarsus Berthold — namely L. baeticus Leonardi, 1979; L. foudrasi Weise, 1893; and L. tabidus (Fabricius, 1775) — were sampled only from 1900 m and above on the mountain. Additionally, Longitarsus brunneus (Duftschmidt, 1825) and Psylliodes laticollis Kutschera, 1864 are given as new records for the Chrysomelidae fauna of Turkey.
