The present paper provides a historical review of the researches on the superfamily Raphignathoidea in Turkey, with an updated list of the species known from Turkey. Most species reported from this country have been published in a wide range of different journals, mainly by Turkish researchers and a few by their colleagues from other countries, so there was a need to combine them in one paper. To date, about 250 papers on the taxonomy, fauna, morphology, biology and other related fields have been published by 90 authors. Presently, Raphignathoidea is represented in Turkey by 217 species in 26 genera of 8 families. The recorded species richness of the Turkish Raphignathoidea is about 20% of the known world Raphignathoidea fauna.
