Özet

In this study, it was attempted to describe 48 species which were determined to belong to the family Hydrophiloidea. Of all these species, 27 were from Helophoridae, 19 species were from Hydrophilidae, and 2 species were from Hydrochidae. Six of them were new records for the Black Sea Region of Turkey and one for Turkey. The female of the Hydrochara major Incekara, Mart, Polat & Karaca, 2009 (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae); was described for the first time. Distrubitions of Helophorus nevadensis Sharp, 1916 (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) and H. major, 2009 in Turkey and worldwide were presented.
