ABSTRACT. Brachycerus anatolicus sp.n. is described. The new species is unique among all known Palaearctic Brachycerus in possessing distinct rounded tubercles on the pronotum. It resembles B. foveicollis, particularly in the form and sculpture of the elytra, but has no prominent postocular lobe on the anterolateral margin of the pronotum.
