Abstract
A new tenebrionid species Ceratanisus diyarbakiricus sp. n. (Pimeliinae: Ceratanisini) is described from southeastern Anatolia. This is the most eastern representative of the mucoreus species-group. The species is similar to C. mucoreus (Waltl, 1838) from the Aegean region and C. purcharti Nabozhenko et al., 2016 from Taurus mountains. New distributional data are given for C. funebris (Reitter, 1898) and C. mucoreus.
