Two new species, R. fani sp. nov., and R. kuznetzovi sp. nov,., are described from Turkey, and a species, R. collegiatus, is a new record for the Turkish fauna. Turkish Raphignathus is reviewed and specimens given under the name of R. hirtellus Athias-Henfiot, 1961 are transferred to R. kuznetzovi sp. nov. described on our specimens. A key to the known species for Turkey is provided and illustrations are also given.
