The main aim of this study is to determining Meloidae fauna of Ankara. 3301 specimens were collected. 43 species belonging to 2 subfamilies and 15 genera were identified. The genus Mylabris Fabricius, 1775 is the most species-rich genus with 10 species. Cerocoma (s.str.) bernhaueri Pardo Alcaide, 1977, Alosimus luteus (Waltl, 1838), Teratolytta monticola Bologna, 2006, Hycleus polymorphus (Pallas, 1771), H. sexmaculatus (A.G. Olivier, 1811), Mylabris (Micrabris) unicolor Faldermann, 1837, Meloe (Eurymeloe) mediterraneus (G. Muller, 1925) and Stenoria (s.str.) apicalis (Latreille, 1804) species were recorded from Central Anatolian Region of Turkey for the first time. Detailed locality records of M. (Micrabris) unicolor and S. (s.str.) apicalis in Turkey were given with this study for the first time. The most western distributions of Alosimus luteus and Teratolytta monticola were given with this study.
