New record of Oribatula (Zygoribatula) nicora (Djaparidze, 1986) comb. nov. from Turkey with a redescription of species

Lucoppia nicora Djaparidze, 1986 was found in garlic fields in the Kastamonu region of Turkey. This finding is a new record forTurkey and also the first finding after its description from Nikortsminda cave and a vegetable garden in Tbilisi, Georgia. Redescriptionof the species is accompanied by a discussion of its taxonomic status. Based on differences having generic character in the structure ofthe prodorsum (length of lamellae; width of translamellae; distance between ro, le, and in setae), L. nicora is regarded as belonging tothe subgenus Oribatula (Zygoribatula). Oribatula (Zygoribatula) nicora (Djaparidze, 1986) comb. nov. is proposed. A new diagnosis forthe subgenus Zygoribatula is provided.
