Abstract :In order to determine the Braconidae fauna of Turkey, adult specimens of Opiinae were collected from various habitats of the Turkish northeastern Anatolian region using Malaise and light traps and sweeping nets between 2012 and 2014. In total, 86 species belonging to 7 genera are reported for the studied regions, among which 22 are recorded for the first time from Turkey: Biosteres insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Biosteres); analis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Wesmael);, Biosteres insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Chilotrichia); clypealis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Thomson);, B. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(C.); sylvaticus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Haliday);, Phaedrotoma zomborii insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Papp);, Opius insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Adontopius); adentatus Fischer, O. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(A.); nanosoma Fischer, Opius insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Agnopius); austriacus Fischer, O. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(A.); novosimilis Fischer, O. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(A.); similoides Fischer, Opius insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Allotypus); geniculatus Thomson, O. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(A.); saevus Haliday, Opius insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ilicopius); moravicus Fischer, Opius insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Misophthora); mischa Fischer, Opius insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Nosopoea); areatus Tobias, O. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(N.); tuberculifer Fischer, Opius insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Opiostomus); dividus Tobias, O. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(O.); vindex Haliday, Opius insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Pendopius); exiloides Fischer, Utetes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Utetes); fasciatus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Thomson);, U. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(U.); rhodopensis Zaykov, U. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(U.); ussuriensis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Tobias);, and Xynobius insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Xynobius); discoidalis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fischer);. The numbers of species of each genus are as follows: Biosteres Förster, 1862: 12; Diachasma Förster, 1862: 1; Diachasmimorpha Viereck, 1913: 1; Phaedrotoma Förster, 1862: 8; Opius Wesmael, 1835: 53; Utetes Förster, 1862: 6; Xynobius Förster, 1862: 5.
