Abstract

This study presents the first record of Caligonella quinqueocellata Khaustov for the mite fauna of Turkey. The single female specimen was collected from grassy and mossy soil in the Karasu Valley. This species was previously recorded from the Crimea and Iran. As of right now, this is the third report on this species.
