Two New Records of Neophyllobius Mites (Acari Prostigmata: Camerobiidae) for the Turkish Fauna

In this study, Neophyllobius lamimani McGregor, 1950 and Neophyllobius parthenocissi Bolland 1991, determined in coastal Aegean, identified as new records for the Turkish fauna were redescribed. Mites were taken from soil and litter samples from beneath of Pinus brutia and Thymus sp. and extracted using Berlese funnels and mounted on slides in a modified Hoyer's medium. Then, the specimens were measured and illustrated using a drawing tube attached microscope. Similarities and differences were discussed by comparing them with the other examples of the species spread throughout the world.
