Two New Records of Stigmaeid Mites (Acari: Stigmaidae) for the Turkish Fauna

Stigmaeus shabestariensis Haddad Irani-Nejad,Lotfollahi andAkbari, 2010 and Prostigmaeus khanjanii Bagheri and Ghorbani,2010 were determined in Afyonkarahisar and Manisa provinces andidentified as new records for the Turkish fauna. Mites taken from soiland litter samples, beneath of Populus alba, Vitexagnus-castusandVerbascum sp. were extracted using Berlese funnels and mountedon slides in a modified Hoyer’s medium. Then, the specimens weremeasured and illustrated using a drawing tube attached microscope.In this study, similarities and differences of two new records speciesfor the Turkish fauna were discussed and compared the other typespecies in Iran.

Türkiye Faunası İçin İki Yeni Stigmaeid Akar (Acari: Stigmaidae) Kaydı

Afyonkarahisar ve Manisa illerinden tespit edilen Stigmaeus shabestariensis Haddad Irani-Nejad, Lotfollahi and Akbari, 2010 and Prostigmaeus khanjanii Bagheri and Ghorbani, 2010 türleri Türkiye faunası için yeni kayıt olarak tanımlanmıştır. Populus alba, Vitex agnus-castus and Verbascum sp. altı toprak ve döküntü örneğinden alınan akarlar, Berlese düzeneğiyle ayrıştırılarak modifiye Hoyer ortamında preparatı hazırlanmıştır. Daha sonra örneklerin çizim tüpü ataşmanlı mikroskop kullanılarak çizimleri ve ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada,Türkiye faunası için iki yeni kayıt olarak tanımlanan türler, Iran’daki diğer tip örnekleri ile karşılaştırılarak benzerlik ve farklılıkları tartışılmıştır.
