The paper presents unknown ultrastructure observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) of aedeagus, spermatheca and body morphology of Psylliodes valida Weise, 1889 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) from Türkiye. This species, which belongs to one of the genera that is very important in biological control, is a new record for Çorum province and the Central Anatolia Region, where it was collected in August 2023.The genus Psylliodes Latreille includes 200 species in the worldwide, while it is represented by 42 species in Türkiye. As known, aedeagus, spermatheca and body morphology are taxonomically important structures. However, before the present study, the structural morphology of these features in Psylliodes Latreille had not been addressed in any previous research, leaving a notable gap in the literature For this reason, ultrastructural and detailed investigations of aedeagus, spermatheca and body morphology of Psylliodes Latreille from Türkiye were firstly studied with SEM to contain male and female genital descriptions of Psylliodes valida Weise, 1889. Photos in SEM are also given in the text.
