It might be a Chamaepsila species. If anyone has a key, we could go further since I got the specimen.

Psilidae it is and then probably Chamaepsila.

The very elongate frons is reminiscent of some forms of Chamaepsila hebraica. You might find http://www.entomo...0FINAL.pdf useful.

When I follow the key provided by Wang & Xinli (1980):

I reach to C. hebraica. I believe, this is a new species for the fauna of Turkey!

After examining the male genitalia, I can confirm that it is C. hebraica.
