摘要

As result of faunistic studies from Afyonkarahisar province in central western Anatolia, three new species of the subgenus Tropogastrosipalia Scheerpeltz belonging to the genus Geostiba Thomson are described and illustrated: Geostiba ahirensis sp. nov. (Ah?r Da?lar?), G. sandiklica sp. nov. (Sand?kl? Da??), and G. karakusensis sp. nov. (Karaku? Da?lar?). A key is presented for distinguishing the new species from related congeners and a map shows the distributions of seven species.
