In this study, species of the superfamily Byrrhoidea Latreille, 1804 (Coleoptera: Dryopidae, Elmidae and Heteroceridae) collected from Adiyaman province, Turkey, have been evaluated. The samples were collected from the vegetation in shallow areas of various lakes, rivers, watercourses and ponds. In the research area, four species belonging to Dryopidae, one subspecies belonging to Elmidae and two species belonging to the family Heteroceridae have been determined. Of these species; Dryops jeanneli Bollow, 1938 is recorded for the first time from Turkey; Heterocerus fusculus Kiesenwetter, 1843 is recorded for the second time from Turkey; Dryops lutulentus Erichson, 1847, Dryops nitidulus Heer, 1841, Dryops rufipes Krynicki, 1832, Elmis maugetii maugetii Latreillei, 1802 and Heterocerus fenestratus Thunberg, 1784 are recorded for the first time from the southeastern Anatolian region. Distributional data in Turkey and worldwide of these species are presented. The aedeagus photo of Dryops jeanneli Bollow and two Heteroceridae species are given.
