In this study, female specimens of Gamasholaspis browningi were collected under hazelnut trees in a tea garden in Türkiye and described as a new record of the Turkish mite fauna. It was determined that this is the first representative of the family in Türkiye. In addition, an overview of the current status of the Turkish eviphidoid fauna is given.
