Abstract

Three new species of oribatid mites of the family Oppiidae Sellnick, 1937, Rhinoppia exobothridialis sp. nov., Rhinoppia emarginata sp. nov. and Oppiella (Perspicuoppia) turcica sp. nov. are described and illustrated based on adult specimens collected from Artvin Province, Turkey. Diagnoses for the genera and an identification key for the species of Oppiella (Perspicuoppia) are provided.
