Abstract
To date, 73 species of Ochthebius Leach, 1815 have been reported from Turkey. Twenty-seven of these species are endemic to Turkey (Ertorun, Jach, Kasapoglu & Darilmaz, in prep.). During faunistic surveys in Erzurum and Denizli, a new species of the Ochthebius metallescens species group was discovered. In the present paper, the new species is described, illustrated, and notes on its habitat and distribution are provided.
