DNA barcoding was conducted on 59 different species, and for the first time, sequences of the Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) gene were successfully obtained for 28 of those species.The COI sequences were compared against the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) databases to assess species identification accuracy and systematic alignment. Results revealed both congruence and discrepancies between morphological and molecular classifications, with some species showing high genetic similarity despite morphological distinctions. These findings highlight the value of DNA barcoding for enhancing the resolution of taxonomic identifications and addressing systematic ambiguities within the Elateridae family. This study contributes important molecular data for Türkiye’s Elateridae species and underscores the need for ongoing molecular studies to improve species classification in this diverse beetle family.
