Summary:We have studied 16 species of Chrysomelidae with distribution notes. Seven species were recorded for the first time in the country. These species encompass four subfamilies: Alticinae, Chrysomelinae, Cryptocephalinae, and Galerucinae. The list includes eight species, four subspecies, and three at the genus level: Entomoscelis adonidis; Gastrophysa polygoni polygoni Linnaeus, 1758; Clytra (Clytraria) afghanica Reineck, 1937; Clytrasoma conformis, Lacordaire, 1848; Clytrasoma palliata Fabricius, 1801; Madurasia undulatovittata (Motschulsky, 1866); Monolepta sexlineata Chujo, 1938; Hermaephaga (Orthocrepis) ruficollis (Lucas, 1847); Nonarthra variabilis Baly, 1862; Chrysolina caerulans bella Jacoby, 1890; Clytra atraphaxidis atraphaxidis (Pallas, 1773); Miochira signaticollis signaticollis (Kollar & L. Redtenbacher, 1844); Theone octocostata cf. woehrli; Chrysolina (Bittotaenia) cf. mellyi (Stal, 1857); and Diapromorpha cf. turcica Fabricius, 1801.
