Özet

This study reviews the family Macrochelidae in Turkey, with new information about species diversity. Nothrholaspis scutivagus sp. Nov., Macrocheles niksarensis sp. Nov. and Holostaspella bidentata sp. Nov. are described as new species from Turkey. Nothrholaspis scutivagus has a characteristic dorsal shield chaetotaxy, and post-genital platelets that are sometimes fused to the ventri-anal shield. Macrocheles niksarensis has 29 pairs of pilose dorsal shield setae and a machete-like cheliceral dorsal seta. The genus Holostaspella is recorded from Turkey for the first time, on the basis of H. bidentata. Macrocheles peniculatus and M. insignitus are reported from Turkey for the first time. Also, Macrholaspis recki and M. Evansi are presented here with some notes on the Turkish specimens. Copyright © 2017 Magnolia Press.

dc.description.sponsorshipThis study was produced from the material from the works supported by Scientific Research Project (BAP) number 11BAP18 (Scientific Research Department of Erzincan University). I am very grateful to Dr. Bruce Halliday (Australia), for suggestions on the species, help with preparing the manuscript, and sharing with me many important papers on mesostigmatic mites, and to Dr. Irina I. Marchenko for translation of Russian documents (the description of M. lagodekhensis).
