Checklist of raphignathoid mites (Acari: Raphignathoidea) of Turkey

Atatürk University, Kazım Karabekir Education Faculty, Department of Biology, 25240 Erzurum, Turkey
Acari Raphignathoidea checklist Turkey

Abstract

The list contains 112 raphignathoid mite species (Acari: Raphignathoidea) in 6 families known from Turkey. It is expected that the number of raphignathoid species in Turkey which inhabit different biotopes and climatic conditions will grow as comprehensive surveys continue. The most diverse family, Stigmaeidae, is represented by 51 species (46%) and the second one, Camerobiidae, is represented by 24 species (21%).
