<p class="Body">Re-description of two new tydeid records (Acari: Trombidiformes) with a key to Tydoidea species of Turkey

Abstract

Brachytydeus maga Kuznetzov and Tydeus plumosus Karg are re-described as new records for Turkey. The male and tritonymph of the latter are also re-described. A key to all the tydeoid species of Turkey is given. The identity of the Turkish specimens of Tydeus californicus (Banks) is questioned.

Brachytydeus armindae (Momen & Lundqvist, 2005); a new tydeid record (Acari : Prostigmata), with a revised key to Brachtydeus Thor species of Turkey

“…The following publications were consulted for the identification of the species: Momen & Lundqvist (2005), Da-Silva et al (2016) and Ueckermann et al (2019). The voucher specimen were kept among the mite collection at Ankara University, Plant Protection Department.…”

“…Following that B. livshitzi (Kuznetzov 1974), B. obnoxia (Kuznetzov et Zapletina 1972, in Livshitz et al 1972) and B. paraobliqua (Panou & Emmanuel 1996) were mentioned from hazelnut orchards in Northern part of country (Ozman-Sullivan et al 2005;Akyazı et al 2017). Brachytydeus maga (Kuznetzov & Livshitz 1973), Tydeus kochi (Oudemans1928), Tydeus californicus (Banks 1904) and Tydeus plumosus Karg 1975 were mentioned recently for Tydeidae family of Turkey which are found in association with stored wheat, vegetables and ornamental plants (Kumral & Çobanoğlu 2016;Ueckermann et al 2019;Çobanoğlu et al 2020). Till date, eight species were reported under Brachytydeus Thor (Ueckerman et al 2019).…”

Species complexes of leaf-inhabiting mites on Prunus laurocerasus L. (Rosaceae) trees in Ordu, Turkey

“…The mites were identified to species level using the relevant identification keys such as Pritchard and Baker (1955), Meyer (1987), Zhang et al (2002), Zhang (2003), Seeman and Beard (2011), Ueckermann and Çobanoğlu (2012), Auger et al (2013) for the family Tetranychidae, Gonzalez-Rodriguez (1965), Fan and Zhang (2005), Saccaggi and Ueckermann (2018) for Stigmaeidae, Baker (1968Baker ( , 1970, Castagnoli (1984), Andre (2011), Ueckermann (2013), Ripka et al (2013), Akyazı et al (2017), Ueckermann et al (2019) for Iolinidae and Tydeidae, Muma and Denmark (1970), Çobanoğlu (1989a,b,c, 1993a,b,c,d), Faraji et al (2007Faraji et al ( , 2011, Tixier et al (2009), Döker et al (2014aDöker et al ( ,b, 2016Döker et al ( , 2020 for Phytoseiidae, Fain (1972), Moser and Bogenschütz, (1984), Fain and Rack (1987) and Krantz and Walter (2009) for Winterschmidtiidae. Mite species were identified under a light microscope (Leica DM 2500, Heerbrugg, Switzerland) equipped with phase contrast.…”

“…Comments: Tydeus plumosus was recorded in apple orchards of Serbia (Stojnic et al, 2002) and on wheat in Diyarbakır (Sur) in Turkey (Ueckermann et al, 2019).…”

“…;Can and Çobanoğlu (2010);Kumral and Çobanoğlu (2015b);Akyol (2019);Ueckermann et al (2019). According toAbou-Awad et al (1999), P. ubiquitus can develop from larva to adult stage when feeds on individuals of the fig bud mite, Eriophyes ficus Cotte and the fig leaf mite, Rhyncaphytoptus ficifoliae Keifer (Trombidiformes: Eriophyidae).…”
