Abstract

Four species of phytoseiid mites namely Neoseiulus knappi Zannou, Moraes, Ueckermann & Oliveira, Typhlodromus (Typhlodromus) octogenipilus Kreiter, Tixier & Duso, Typhlodromus (T.) phialatus Athias-Henriot, and Typhloseiella isotricha (Athias-Henriot) are recorded for the first time from Turkey. Two new species Neoseiulus sekeroglui D ker & Stathakis n. sp. and Typhlodromus (Typhlodromus) antakyaensis Stathakis & D ker n. sp. are described and illustrated. A key to the all known phytoseiid species for the Turkish fauna is also provided
