Abstract
Two new species of Sunius Stephens (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae, Paederinae) from southern Anatolia are described, illustrated and distinguished from related congeners: Sunius orgeli sp. n. (Nigde) and Sunius cercii sp. n. (Konya and Karaman). Some specimens of the new species were collected with subterranean pitfall traps in the mesovoid shallow sub-stratum. Additional records of three species of Sunius from Turkey are reported. The genus is now represented in Turkey by 41 species, 37 of them are endemic.
