Aquatic Coleoptera fauna of the Ramsar site Sultan Sazligi (Kayseri, Turkey) was investigated between May and October 2009. A total of 87 species were determined. Their distributions in Turkey are presented. Worldwide distributions of four newly-recorded species (Agabus lineatus Gebler, 1848, Helophorus pumilio Erichson, 1837, Helophorus redtenbacheri Kuwert, 1885 and Cercyon tristis (Illiger, 1801)) from Turkey are also given. It was established that Turkey is the southernmost limit of distribution of all the newly recorded species from Turkey.
