Abstract

A new species of the genus Tychobythinus Ganglbauer, 1896, T. oculatus sp. n., is described from near Köyceğiz, Muğla Province, in southwestern Turkey. The new species is morphologically closely related to T. abnormipes Reitter, 1910, and T. pauper Kiesenwetter, 1858, but can be readily distinguished from both by having very simplified internal armature of the aedeagus, and by the specific shape of the gular depression.
