In this study, 82 species and subspecies from Eumenidae family located in the middle Anatolia districts, namely Ankara, Kırşehir, Nevşehir,Aksaray and Niğde have been evaluated. This evaluation was based on the zoogeographical distribution according to their locations as widely reported in literature.As we consider the world-wide distribution of the located species, it is found that 44 species and subspecies are disseminated within the Mediterranean region, 16 within the Mediterranean and Europe-Siberian regions, 4 within the Mediterranean and Central Asia regions, 12 within the Mediterranean, Europe-Siberian and Central Asia regions and 6 within the Mediterranean, Europe-Siberia, Central Asia and East Asia regions.Among the Eumenidae fauna within the Central Anatolia, it is found that the Mediterranean species are over represented.
