Checklist of the water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia) of Turkey: First supplement

Abstract

As a first supplement to the list of the water mites (Acari, Hydrachnidia) fauna of Turkey compiled by Erman et al. (2010), a faunistic list of water mites from Turkey is presented based on published data after 2010. Including the new data, the total number of taxa recorded from Turkey reaches 335 species, in 62 genera and 25 families. The new synonym is established Trichothyas (Lundbladia) anatolica Boyacı & Gülle, 2014 = Dacothyas kandilliensis Oezkan & Bader, 1988. Furthermore, for each family, the number of species is given, both, for this study and totally.

A Study on New Record Water Mite Species from Turkey: Atractides (Polymegapus) rutae (Lundblad, 1941)

“…More samples are needed to determine the true average size of this species (Gerecke, 2003;Boyacı et. al., 2012) With this record, the number of species the subgenus Polymegapus in Turkey has reached 4 (Erman et al, 2019).…”

Türkiye ve Bazı Palearktik Bölge Ülkelerinin Arrenurus Duges (Arrenuridae: Hydrachnidia: Acari) Türlerinin Karşılaştırılması

“…Studies on many regions of the world, especially the Oriental and Afrotropical regions, are scarce. The number of water mites in the world is estimated to be more than 10,000 (Erman et al, 2010;2019).…”

“…The first checklist of water mites in Turkey was compiled by Erman et al (2010), includes 23 families, 52 genera and 236 species. The second checklist by Erman et al (2019) includes 25 families, 62 genera and 335 species. Arrenuridae ranks first and is represented with 58 species, followed by Hygrobatidae (54 species) and Hydryphantidae (39 species), respectively.…”

“…Arrenuridae ranks first and is represented with 58 species, followed by Hygrobatidae (54 species) and Hydryphantidae (39 species), respectively. However, some families have only one species (Figure 1) (Erman et al, 2019).…”

The Water Mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia) of Isparta Province, Turkey

“…Numerous studies on water mites have been carried out by scientists to date from different parts of Turkey. The total number of known water mites (Acari, Hydrachnidia) of Turkey is 335 species, in 62 genera and 25 families (Erman et al, 2019). The first hydrachnid mite record "Hydryphantes parmulatus" from Isparta is reported by Boyaci and Özkan in (2001).…”
