A new species of the genus Arrenurus Dugès, 1834 (Acari: Hydrachnidia: Arrenuridae) for the Turkish fauna: Arrenurus (Truncaturus) corsicus (E. Angelier, 1951)
Arrenurus (Truncaturus) corsicus (E. Angelier, 1951) is newly recorded for the Turkish fauna. It can be easily distinguished from other Truncaturus species by the pedipalpal femur with numerous hair-like setae medially, elongated idiosoma, and anterior coxae extending beyond anterior idiosoma margin.
