The subspecific status of Chlorophorus (s. str.) varius (O. F. Mullner, 1766) and Chlorophorus (Perderomaculatus) gratiosus (Marseul, 1868) in Turkey are discussed and investigated in detail. Accordingly, Chlorophorus damascenus (Chevrolat, 1854) rest. status and Chlorophorus sparsus (Reitter, 1886) rest. status are upgraded from subspecies level to species level. The presence of Chlorophorus gratiosus (Marseul, 1868) in Turkey is proved. Moreover, all Turkish members of Chlorophorus Chevrolat, 1853 are updated with known distribution data in Turkey.
