Türkiye Faunası İçin Yeni Bir Su Kenesi (Acari; Hydrachnidia; Hygrobatidae) Türü: Atractides inflatipes (Lundblad, 1956)

Bu çalışmada, Atractides inflatipes (Lundblad, 1956) dişilerinin bazı yapısal özellikleri örneklerimiz üzerinden gözden geçirilerek yeniden düzenlenmiş, çeşitli organlarının şekilleri çizilmiş ve ölçümleri yapılmış, ayrıca türün dağılımı üzerinde durulmuştur.

A New Water Mite Species for the Fauna of Turkey: Atractides inflatipes (Lundblad, 1956) (Acari; Hydrachnidia; Hygrobatidae)

In this study, some structural features of Atractides inflatipes (Lundblad, 1956) females based on our material were revised, some body parts were measured and illustrated, distribution of the species was also evaluated.Water mites of the genus Atractides Koch, 1837 have been found in all biogeographical regions except for Australia and Antarctica. Most species are found only in clean waters with well conserved substratum, thus they are probably sensitive to many forms of human impact (Gerecke, 2003). With 29 species, the genus Atractides is among the most species rich genera of the water mite fauna of Turkey which has been insufficiently known (Erman et al., 2010; Gülle et al., 2010; Aşçı et al., 2011; Esen et al., 2013; Esen and Erman, 2013). Among the material collected during an extensive survey of the water mite fauna of Burdur Province in southwestern Turkey in 2014–2015 period, one Atractides species was found to be new record for the fauna of Turkey.
