Abstract :Insects are amazing creatures used to determine the biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. It is well known that the order Coleoptera, which includes dung beetles, has a wide variety of species. Thus, depending on the three elevations of the Eskişehir Bozdağ region, the fauna of the subfamily Aphodiinae was studied in this study. As a result, this study included 14 species and 3 subspecies from 12 genera that are members of the Scarabaeidae subfamily Aphodiinae. The first records for the province of Eskişehir are Volinus sticticus (Panzer 1798), Esymus pusillus pusillus (Herbst, 1789), Nimbus johnsoni (Baraud, 1976), and Euorodalus paracoenosus (Balthasar & Hrubant 1960). Furthermore, three new species have been recorded for the Central Anatolia Region: Nimbus johnsoni (Baraud, 1976), Esymus pusillus pusillus (Herbst, 1789), and Volinus sticticus (Panzer, 1798).
