Berinda amabilis Roewer, 1928, from Crete, by original designation (Roewer 1928: 106).	en	Danişman, Tarik, Yağmur, Ersen Aydin, Coşar, İlhan, Kaya, Rahşen S.

33474F50FFF4DE0409B8FD10FBD737DC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Compared to the other genera of the Zelotinae, the members of this genus are of medium size (total length of ♂ 4.02 – 7.8 mm and of ♀ 5.7 – 10.2 mm). Species of Berinda can be diagnosed by: 1) a strongly developed conductor protruding ventrally; 2) a long filiform embolus; and 3) a large epigynal hood anterior to the copulatory ducts and spermathecae (Panayiotou et al. 2010; Lissner & Chatzaki 2016). Males have distinctive species-specific retrolateral tibial apophysis and in some a patellar apophysis may be present too.	en	Danişman, Tarik, Yağmur, Ersen Aydin, Coşar, İlhan, Kaya, Rahşen S.

33474F50FFF4DE0609B8FBB8FABA3794.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The male of B. anlasi sp. nov. is most similar to that of B. cypria Chatzaki & Panayiotou, 2010 in having a bipartite retrolateral tibial apophysis. However, males of the two species may be distinguished by the length of the two tibial apophyses of the palp, which is about a quarter of the length of the cymbium (vs. one third in B. cypria), the broad cymbial retrolateral extension, and the straight pointed end of the conductor (Figs 2, 3) (vs. hook-shaped in B. cypria, Panayiotou et al. 2010: fig 15).	en	Danişman, Tarik, Yağmur, Ersen Aydin, Coşar, İlhan, Kaya, Rahşen S.

33474F50FFF6DE0309B8FC70FD4B3508.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The epigyne of B. cooki resembles that of B. ensigera and B. hakani by having a narrow and crescent-shaped epigynal hood, but differs by the relative size of the vertical part of the copulatory ducts as compared to the total epigynal plate, which is about 2 / 3 (Figs 6, 8) (vs. 1 / 3 in the other two species, Panayiotou et al. 2010: figs 12, 23). Males of B. cooki are also very similar to those species in their genital structures (long embolus and conductor conformation), but can be distinguished by the presence of a patellar apophysis (Fig. 5 C) (absent in the other two species) and the very short retrolateral tibial apophysis, ca 1 / 10 of the cymbium length (Fig. 5 C) (1 / 2 of the cymbium or longer) (compare Fig. 7 C with Panayiotou et al. 2010: figs 10, 16.).	en	Danişman, Tarik, Yağmur, Ersen Aydin, Coşar, İlhan, Kaya, Rahşen S.

The new species is dedicated to the entomologist Dr. Semih Örgel, who made great contributions to our knowledge of Turkish staphylinids, is a friend of the authors, and assisted in the field trips during which the new species was collected.	en	Danişman, Tarik, Yağmur, Ersen Aydin, Coşar, İlhan, Kaya, Rahşen S.

33474F50FFFFDE0809B8FE6FFBE934EC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The male of the new species is similar to that of B. aegilia Chatzaki, 2002, but differs from it by the smaller and less protruding posterior end of the conductor (vs. straight and protruding in B. aegilia) and the small hook-shaped retrolateral tibial apophysis (vs. long, finger-shaped in B. aegilia) (compare Fig. 14 with Chatzaki et al. 2002 b: figs 9, 10). The epigyne of B. orgeli sp. nov. differs from that of B. aegilia by the shape of the epigynal hood (globular vs. trapezoidal in B. aegilia) (compare Fig 16 with Chatzaki et al. 2002 b: figs 11, 12).	en	Danişman, Tarik, Yağmur, Ersen Aydin, Coşar, İlhan, Kaya, Rahşen S.
