Özet

Coeliastes rustemi sp. n., the third species of the genus Coeliastes Weise from Turkey is described. The new species differs from the congeners in the larger size, denser pubescence formed by very large white scales, less distinct elytral pattern, more strongly rounded sides of pronotum and apical elytral prominences, and more coarse sculpture of elytra. Coeliastes lamii F. and C. nitidus Colonnelli, 1978 are recorded from Turkey for the first time. A key to identifying these three species of the genus Coeliastes is provided.
