AB  - The harvestmen species Pyza tauricaGruber, 1979 (Opilionida, Nemastomatidae) is endemic to Anatolia. In this study,external morphology of P. taurica was investigated in detail by using scanning electronmicroscope (SEM). Cuticular structures and sense organs on the segments oflegs, pedipalps, chelicerae, and the dorsal integument of male specimens of P.taurica are investigated and depicted, in particular, characters oftaxonomic and systematic importance. Such studies are needed especially forunderstanding the functional anatomy and morphology of opilionids.

N2  - Pyza taurica Gruber,1979 (Opilionida, Nemastomatidae) otbiçen türü Anadolu’ya özgüdür. Bu çalışmada, P. taurica'nındış morfolojisi ayrıntılı olarak taramalı elektron mikroskopu (SEM)kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Özellikle taksonomik ve sistematik önem taşıyankarakterde, bacaklar, pedipalp, chelicerae ve P. taurica erkek örneklerinindorsal üzerindeki kesici yapılar ve duyu organları incelenmekte ve tasviredilmektedir. Bu gibi çalışmalar, özellikle otbiçenlerin fonksiyonelanatomisini ve morfolojisini anlamak için gereklidir.
