Contributions to the knowledge of freshwater halacarid mites (Acari: Halacaridae) fromTurkey

Based on the freshwater halacarid mite specimens collected from four different provinces (Antalya, Denizli, Isparta and Muğla) of Turkey, two species of the genus Halacarellus and Porohalacarus are reported and illustrated in the present study. Halacarellus hyrcanus (Viets, 1928) is only recored from Muğla, while Porohalacarus alpinus (Thor, 1910) is recorded from Isparta, Denizli and Antalya. The deutonymph of P. alpinus is given first time in this study with original illustrations. Additionally, comparisons of the worldwide idiosoma lengths and localities of the two species are presented here.
