Özet

Faunistic studies on Vespidae from Turkey are reviewed and the distribution and biogeography of the Turkish vespid fauna are analyzed. A total of 298 species and subspecies belonging to 53 genera of the subfamilies Vespinae, Polistinae, Eumeninae and Masarinae have been recorded from Turkey. Species composition, diversity and proportion of endemism vary considerably among the biogeographic subregions of the country.
