Abstract

This study reports on a collection of mites of the genus Onchodellus from different cities in Türkiye (Adana, Gümüşhane, Giresun, Tokat). Four species were identified in the genus—Onchodellus acrophilus sp. nov. O. circularis sp. nov. and O. kosensis sp. nov. are described as new, and O. karawaiewi (Berlese, 1920) is a new record from Türkiye.
