Abstract
The genus Lobrathium Mulsant & Rey (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) is represented in the Palaearctic region by 156 species. In the study, Lobrathium (s. str.) thracicum sp. n. (Kirklareli) from Turkiye is described, figured, and distinguished from geographically closest congeners. The genus is now known to occurin Turkiye by 12 species, 10 of which are endemic to this country. Faunistic notes on nine species of the genus Lobrathium in Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Czechia, Greece, France, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, and Turkiye of the Palaearctic Region are presented. Two species that are taxonomically controversial, Lobrathium apicale (Baud di Selve, 1857) from Cyprus and Lobrathium. afghanicum Coiffait, 1979, synonym of Lobrathium triste (Cameron, 1924) from Afghanistan, are illustrated.
