Abstract

This
study is the first DNA barcoding study with Hydrachna
globosa, Hydryphantes dispar, Georgella helvetica and Hydrodroma despiciens which are very
common species in the lakes (Acari, Hydrachnidia). Water mites samples used in
the study were collected from Lake Karamik (Afyonkarahisar Turkey) between
April to October 2015. Molecular analysis of the samples were carried out in
the laboratory environment. The gDNA from each sample were isolated and the 28S
rDNA gene region amplified. It was observed that the molecular analysis results
obtained were in agreement with the classical systematic classification results
for each species used in the study.

Keywords
