Abstract

This paper reports on four species, in three genera within two families (Ameroseiidae, Digamasellidae) of soil-inhabiting mesostigmatic mites in Turkey: Ameroseius lidiae Bregetova; Ameroseius sculptilis Berlese; Kleemannia nova Nasr and Abou-Awad and Dendrolaelaspis lobatus (Shcherbak and Chelebiev). The important diagnostic characters of each species are reviewed to facilitate species delimitation. The genus Dendrolaelaspis Lindquist is reported for the first time from Turkey.
