The description and illustrations of Bembecia turanica (Erschoff, 1874) are given. In order to stabilize the species epithet, fix the taxonomic status and the type locality of this least studied species of clearwing moths (Lepidoptera, Sesiidae) of the Palearctic, the neotype is designated herein. A detailed analysis of the external morphology, as well as the structure of the male genitalia, showed that this species is very close to B pallasi O. Gorbunov, 2020, but differs from it quite clearly
