Taxonomic status of Leioderes
kollari L. Redtenbacher and Leioderes tuerki (Ganglbauer) are discussed on the base of the original descriptions and their
distribution patterns. As a result, Leioderes
bodemeyeri (Reitter, 1903) stat. nov. is proposed as a
separate species. Leioderes
bodemeyeri tokatense
ssp. nov. is proposed as a new subspecies for Northern population of Leioderes
bodemeyeri (Reitter) from Tokat province in Black Sea region
of North Turkey, while Leioderes
bodemeyeri samai ssp. nov. is
proposed as a new subspecies for
Southern population of Leioderes
bodemeyeri (Reitter) from Lebanon. In addition, Leioderes
tuerki (Ganglbauer) is recorded for the first time from Antalya province, while Leioderes bodemeyeri (Reitter) stat. nov. is
recorded for the first time from Osmaniye province of Turkey. Also, Quercus calliprinos Webb (= coccifera Linnaeus) (Fagaceae) and Juglans regia Linnaeus
(Juglandaceae) are given as new
host plant species and family for Leioderes tuerki (Ganglbauer).
