New records of erythraeoid mites (Acari: Erythraeoidea) from northeastern Türkiye
Abstract
In this survey, soil samples obtained from Erzincan and Bayburt provinces (Türkiye) between 2013 and 2022 were evaluated. Eleven species of the superfamily Erythraeoidea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1828 are reported for the first time for the Turkish mite fauna. While 9 of the detected species [Abrolophus artemisiae (Schrank, 1803); Abrolophus miniatus (Hermann, 1804); Abrolophus quisquiliarus (Hermann, 1804); Abrolophus rhopalicus (Koch, 1837); Abrolophus strojnyi Gabryś, 1992; Balaustium murorum (Hermann, 1804); Moldoustium haitlingeri Noei, Saboori & Šundić, 2013; Erythraeus (Erythraeus) cinereus (Dugès, 1834) and Erythraeus (Zaracarus ) rupestris (L., 1758)] belong to the family Erythraeidae Robineau-Desvoidy, 1828, and two species [Fessonia papillosa (Hermann, 1804) and Smaris squamata (Hermann, 1804)] belong to the family Smarididae Vitzthum, 1929. In addition, the diagnosis of the genus Moldoustium Haitlinger, 2008 is re-presented. Also, erythraeoid mites recorded from Türkiye so far are listed.
