This study provides new records of water mites from Erzincan, Gümüşhane and Tunceli provinces (Turkey). Thirteen species have been registered as new for the hydrachnid water mite fauna of the study area. Parathyas colligera (K. Viets, 1923) is a new record for the fauna of Turkey. So far, no water mite records have been given from the provinces of Tunceli and Gümüşhane. Including the new data, the total number of taxa recorded from Erzincan province tallies 81 species in 17 families.
