Members of the
genus Raphignathus Dugès (Acari:
Raphignathidae) are predaceous and living in soil, litter, lichen, moss, stored
product, house dust, bird’s nest, underneath tree bark. In the present work, the
specimens of this genus, collected from Harşit Valley (Turkey), were evaluated.
Totally, five known species viz. Raphignathus collegiatus Atyeo, Baker and Crossley, R. fani Dogan
and Ayyildiz, R. gracilis (Rack), R.
hecmatanaensis Khanjani and Ueckermann, R. kuznetzovi Doğan and Ayyıldız, were determined. The
descriptions and measurements of some morphological characters of all species
mentioned, newly reported from the research area, were given with the original
drawings. Furthermore, their distributions in Turkey and the world were also presented.
Also, Raphignathus protaspus Khanjani
and Ueckermann syn. nov. was
considered as a junior synonym of R. collegiatus Atyeo, Baker and Crossley. This paper reports the identity of the
species Raphignathus broomicus Podder, Gupta and Saha is currently
uncertain and doubtful, and it
should be regarded here as a species inquirenda.

Harşit Vadisi’nden (Türkiye) Raphignathus Dugés (Acari: Raphignathidae) akarları ve cinsin diğer üyeleri hakkında taksonomik yorumlar

Öz

Raphignathus Dugès türleri (Acari: Raphignathidae) avcıdır
ve döküntü, toprak, yosun, liken, depo ürünü, ev tozu, kuş yuvası ve ağaç
kabuklarının altında yaşarlar. Bu çalışmada, Harşit Vadisi’nden toplanan Raphignathus cinsine ait örnekler değerlendirilmiştir. Raphignathus collegiatus Atyeo, Baker and Crossley, R. fani
Doğan and Ayyıldız,
R. gracilis (Rack), R. hecmatanaensis Khanjani and Ueckermann, R. kuznetzovi Doğan and Ayyıldız olmak
üzere toplam beş tür tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma alanından ilk defa kaydedilen bu
türlerin şekilleri çizilmiş, çeşitli organlarının ölçümleri alınmış, tanımları
yapılmış, Türkiye’deki ve dünyadaki yayılışları verilmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca Raphignathus protaspus Khanjani and Ueckermann
syn. nov. R. collegiatus Atyeo, Baker and Crossley’un genç sinonimi olarak
teklif edilmiştir. Bu
çalışma, Raphignathus
broomicus Podder, Gupta and Saha’un teşhisinin belirsiz ve kuşkulu
olduğunu ve şüpheli tür olarak
değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini bildirmektedir.
