Özet

The geographic distribution and additional morphologic features of Macrodinychus (Monomacrodinychus) bregetovaae Hirschmann 1975 are presented briefly and determined as a new record for the Turkish Uropodid fauna.Viviparity is an interesting phenomenon in Uropodid mites. Zugalev collected one Macrodinychus female containing about 30 larvae in her body cavity on May 1965. Bregetova first reported that females of mites the genus Macrodinychus (Berlese) are apparently viviparous at the Acarological Congress in Saalfaden in 1974 (Kielczewski and Wi´snewski, 1977). Hirschmann (1975) described the species as Macrodinychus (Monomacrodinychus) bregetovaae, illustrated it schematically, and gave a brief key.
