The paper presents etymology of Turkish Cerambycoidea taxa that have only
been restricted to valid taxon names. The present study covers the second part including
taxon names attributed to a place or places of the serial work. In the text, family-group
names, genus-group names and species-groups names evaluated in separate sections. As a
result, while there is no family-group name, a total of 11 genus-group names (3 genus names
and 8 subgenus names) and 234 species-group names (139 species names and 95 subspecies
names), corresponding to 22.74% of the whole species-group taxa of Turkey (1029),
attributed to a place or places are determined and presented into lists. A total of 155
endemic species-group taxa (82 species and 73 subspecies), corresponding to 15.06% of the
whole species-group taxa of Turkey or 29.92% of the whole endemic species-group taxa
(518), among determined 234 species-group names (139 species names and 95 subspecies
names) attributed to a place or places are endemic to Turkey.
