In this study, torrenticolid water mite specimens collected from Kulp district (Diyarbakır, Türkiye) between 2020-2021 years were evaluated. Totaly, 15 species are determined belonging to the family Torrenticolidae. Torrenticola (s.str.) laskai Di Sabatino, 2009, Torrenticola (Megapalpis) persica Pesic, 2004 and Monatractides (s.str.) persicus Pesic, 2004 are new records for the fauna of Türkiye. The male of Torrenticola (Megapalpis) persica has been described for the first time.
This study is part of the first author’s MSc thesis supervised by the second author.
