In this study, the aquatic and semiaquatic Coleoptera species that were collected from Diyarbakır, Mardin and Batmanprovinces in 2013-2015 years, were evaluated. 44 taxa belong to eight families (Coleoptera: Polyphaga: Dryopidae,Helophoridae, Heteroceridae, Hydrochidae, Hydrophilidae; Adephaga: Gyrinidae, Haliplidae, Noteridae) were detected in theresearch area. Within these species, 32 taxa were first records for the research area.
