The paper presents etymology of Turkish Cerambycoidea taxa that have only
been restricted to valid taxon names. The present study covers the first part including taxon
names attributed to a person or persons of the serial work. In the text, family-group names,
genus-group names and species-groups names evaluated in separate sections. As a result, a
total of 4 family-group names (1 subfamily name and 3 tribe names), 15 genus-group names
(9 genus names and 6 subgenus names), 287 species-group names (218 species names and
69 subspecies names), corresponding to 27.89% of the whole species-group taxa of Turkey
(1029), attributed to a person or persons are determined and presented into lists. A total of
191 endemic species-group taxa (142 species and 49 subspecies), corresponding to 18.56% of
the whole species-group taxa of Turkey or 36.87% of the whole endemic species-group taxa
(518), among determined 287 species-group names (218 species names and 69 subspecies
names) attributed to a person or persons are endemic to Turkey.
