I'm not very familiar with turkish fauna, but in my opinion this is an old specimen of Agapanthia cynarae. A. simplicicornis belongs to the Epoptes subgenus but has red-coloured antennae, and Agapanthia marcusi has a different pubescens.
In addition, other Epoptes are present in Turkey, but most of them are similar in morphology to the dahli group.

I have excluded A. cynarae because of the very broad light colour of the 3. antennal segment. But it seems I was wrong. Thank you alot for the ID and help.

This is certainly not Agapanthia cynarae.

Well, I have used the identification in the following paper:
http://www.cerambyx.uochb.cz/assets/pdf ... thiini.pdf
I have reached to A. simplicicornis. If it is not A. simplicicornis, there are 3 options:
1. I cannot follow the key properly
2. It is a new species for the Turkish fauna
3. A new species

In my opinion it is close to Agapanthia lederi. I do not know Turkish Agapanthia well, but most species have red antennae.
Wait for Pierpaolo :)

Exactly, one of the species with grey antennae is A. cynarae, but not A. simplicicornis.
@Baris: the keys, if you follow them from a too far taxon, frequently lead to a wrong identification, but you could be right!

I agree with Marcin. It is something close to Agapanthia lederi.

Thank you alot all for the help. So it is something close to A. lederi but not A. lederi :? I guess it is not possible to be sure of a species based on these photos.
