Ali Dağı’nın (Kayseri) oppiid akarları (Acari: Oppiidae) üzerine taksonomik araştırmalar

Ali Dağı’ndan toplanan döküntü ve toprakta yaşayan oppiid akarlar taksonomik bakımdan değerlendirilmiş ve iki alt familyaya ait toplam beş takson tespit edilmiştir. Bunlar; Discoppia (Cylindroppia) cylindrica cylindrica (Pérez-Íñigo, 1965), Rhinoppia (R.) obsoleta obsoleta (Paoli, 1908), Microppia minus minus (Paoli, 1908), Berniniella (B.) bicarinata (Paoli, 1908) ve Oppiella (O.) nova nova (Oudemans, 1902)’dır. Tespit edilen taksonlar ışık mikroskobunda incelenmiş, çeşitli vücut yapılarına ait ölçümleri yapılmış, yaşama alanları ile dünyadaki yayılışları verilmiş ve çeşitli taksonomik sorunları tartışılmıştır.

Taxonomic investigations on the oppiid mites (Acari: Oppiidae) of Ali Mountain (Kayseri)

The oppiid mites dwelling in litter and soil collected from Ali Mountain have been evaluated from taxonomical viewpoint; totally five taxa belonging to two subfamilies have been identified. These are Discoppia (Cylindroppia) cylindrica (Pérez-Íñigo, 1965), Rhinoppia (R.) obsoleta obsoleta (Paoli, 1908), Microppia minus minus (Paoli, 1908), Berniniella (B.) bicarinata (Paoli, 1908) and Oppiella (O.) nova nova (Oudemans, 1902). The identified taxa were examined by a light microscopy, the measurements belonging to their various body structures were done, their habitats and distributions on the world were given and systematical problems discussed.
