description: <i>Turanena</i> Lindholm, 1922; Subgenus <i>Turanena</i> Lindholm, 1922 <i>Turanena</i> Lindholm, 1922a: 275. Type species (by original designation): <i>Buliminus</i> (<i>Pseudonapaeus</i>) <i>herzi</i> O. Boettger, 1889. The genus <i>Turanena</i> has a disjunct distribution: several species are found in Central Asia, whereas others are known from the Middle East (Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, northern Iran), Armenia, Turkey, and the southeastern islands of Greece. The species of Central Asia have been assigned to the subgenus <i>Asuranena</i> Schileyko &amp; Moisseeva, 1995. These are <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>albolimbata</i> (Lind- holm, 1927); <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>boamica</i> Kuznetsov, 1999; <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>cog-</i> <i>nata</i> (Lindholm, 1927); <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>conicula</i> (E. von Martens, 1882); <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>inversa</i> Schileyko &amp; Moisseeva, 1995; <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>leptogyra</i> (Lindholm, 1927); <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>margaritae</i> Schi- leyko &amp; Moisseeva, 1989; <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>martensiana</i> (Ancey, 1886) [synonyms: <i>segregatus</i> var. <i>minor</i> E. von Martens, 1874; <i>liostracus</i> Westerlund, 1896]; <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>meshkovi</i> Schi- leyko, 1984; <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>stschukini</i> (Lindholm, 1927) and <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>tenuispira</i> Schileyko, 1984. The synonymy of <i>liostra-</i> <i>cus</i> with <i>martensiana</i> follows Sysoev &amp; Schileyko (2009: 75). They attributed the name <i>liostracus</i> to Ancey (1886), but in reality the name has been introduced by Wester- lund (1896). The name <i>martensiana</i> is a nomen novum for <i>Buliminus segregatus</i> var. <i>minor</i> E. von Martens, 1874, the latter being a preoccupied name. The species outside Central Asia have been as- signed to the subgenus <i>Turanena</i>. So far, the following species are known: <i>T.</i> (<i>T</i>.) <i>albrechti</i> Rähle, 1988 (Turkey: Vilayets Afyonkarahisar, Antalya, Burdur and Isparta) <i>T.</i> (<i>T</i>.) <i>andronakii</i> (Lindholm, 1913) (Turkey: Vilayets Artvin and Erzurum) [synonym: <i>yusufelensis</i> E. Gittenberger &amp; Menkhorst, 1993] <i>T</i>. (<i>T</i>.) <i>benjamitica</i> (Benson, 1859) (Israel; Lebanon) [synonym: <i>enabensis</i> Pallary, 1939] <i>T.</i> (<i>T</i>.) <i>bilgini</i> Schütt &amp; &amp;Scedil;e&amp;scedil;en, 2002 (Turkey: Vilayets Diyarbak&amp;imath;r and Siirt) <i>T.</i> (<i>T.</i>) <i>carpathia</i> (O. Boettger, 1885) (Greece: Karpathos, Rhodos) <i>T.</i> (<i>T</i>.) <i>cochlicopoides</i> E. Gittenberger &amp; Menkhorst, 1993 (Turkey: Vilayets Gaziantep and Osmaniye) <i>T</i>. (<i>T</i>.) <i>conelongata</i> E. Gittenberger &amp; Menkhorst, 1993 (Turkey: Vilayets Batman, Bitlis, Siirt and Van) <i>T.</i> (<i>T.</i>) <i>demirsoyi</i> Gümü&amp;scedil; &amp; Neubert, 2012 (Turkey: Vilayet Erzincan) <i>T.</i> (<i>T</i>.) <i>forcartiana</i> P. Schnell, 1979 (Turkey: Vilayets Ad&amp;imath;yaman, Antalya, Çorum, Mersin, Sivas and Tokat) <i>T</i>. (<i>T</i>.) <i>hemmeni</i> Bank &amp; Butot, 1990 (Turkey: Vilayets Adana, Denizli, Mersin and Mu&amp;gbreve;la; Greece: Samos) <i>T</i>. (<i>T</i>.) <i>hermonensis</i> (Forcart, 1981) (Israel: Mount Hermon) <i>T.</i> (<i>T</i>.) <i>herzi</i> (O. Boettger, 1889) (Armenia; Iran: provinces Azarbayjan-e-Gharbi, Azarbayjan-e-Sharqi, Kordestan, Kermanshah, Alborz and Semnan) [synonym: <i>scalaris</i> Nägele, 1902] <i>T.</i> (<i>T.</i>) <i>katerinae</i> E. Gittenberger, 1996 (Greece: Crete, Cyprus) <i>T</i>. (<i>T</i>.) <i>macfadyeni</i> (Pallary, 1939) (Iraq: Sinjar Mountain) <i>T</i>. (<i>T</i>.) <i>pseudobscura</i> Bank &amp; Neubert, 2016 (Iran: prov. Gilan) <i>T.</i> (<i>T</i>.) <i>tuccari</i> E. Gittenberger, 1986 (Turkey: Vilayets Antalya and Isparta) <i>T.</i> (<i>T</i>.) <i>zilchi</i> E. Gittenberger &amp; Menkhorst, 1993 (Turkey: Vilayets Diyarbak&amp;imath;r, Hakkâri, Siirt and Van). The synonymy of <i>enabensis</i> with <i>benjamitica</i> follows Mienis (1977: 83, 84) and was confirmed by us; the synonymy of <i>yusufelensis</i> with <i>andronakii</i> was established by Gittenberger &amp; Menkhorst (2006), and the syn- onymy of <i>scalaris</i> with <i>herzi</i> has been established by Bank &amp; Neubert (2016: 14). The publication date of <i>bilgini</i> is 2002, not 2001 as Schütt (2010: 86) mentioned. Although a description of <i>bilgini</i> appeared in the 2001 book of Schütt (: 86, 89 fig. b), being a year before the original description by Schütt &amp; &amp;Scedil;e&amp;scedil;en in 2002, the 2001 description is not valid, as no holotype was selected or no syntypes were fixed, which is required for a zoological taxon described after 1999 (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Article 16.4). Clearly, a major radiation of <i>Turanena</i> is seen in Turkey. Here we add another two new taxa to the fauna of Turkey. We are further aware of two new taxa from Lebanon and Iran, but these will be described elsewhere.
