Abstract

With more than 130 species, Eustigmaeus Berlese is one of the most diverse genera in the family of Stigmaeidae.
The genus has a worldwide distribution and is found in all zoogeographic regions with the exception of
Antarctica. The adult female, adult male, deutonymph, protonymph, and larva of Eustigmaeus anauniensis
(Canestrini) are known till now, but the immature male stage is unknown. In this study, five deutonymph male
specimens of E. anauniensis were found in Türkiye. The description, illustrations of deutonymph males of E.
anauniensis, and its measurements of some body parts were made. This is the first record of deutonymph male of E. anauniensis.

The mite materials from the Karasu Valley were collected from a project (121Z986) that was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK). We appreciate the financial assistance of TÜBİTAK. For granting the legal approvals (E-21264211-288.04-4255389 and E-50411936-903.07.02-4372543) for the field surveys, we are grateful to TR Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

Eustigmaeus anauniensis’in (Canestrini) (Trombidiformes: Stigmaeidae) Erkek Deutonimfinin İlk Tanımı

Abstract

Eustigmaeus Berlese, 130’dan daha fazla türle Stigmaeidae familyasının en çeşitli cinslerinden biridir. Bu cins,
tüm dünyada geniş bir dağılıma sahip olup, Antarktika hariç bütün zoocoğrafik bölgelerde bulunur. Şu ana
kadar Eustigmaeus anauniensis (Canestrini) türünün ergin dişi, erkek, deutonimf, protonimf ve larvası
bilinmekte; ancak ergin olmayan erkek bireyleri bilinmemektedir. Bu çalışmada, E. anauniensis’in beş
deutonimf erkek örneği Türkiye’den bulunmuştur. E. anauniensis’in deutonimf erkeklerinin tanımı yapılarak
görüntüleri verilmiş ayrıca vücut parçalarının ölçümleri alınmıştır. E. anauniensis’in deutonimf erkekleri ilk
defa bu çalışmada kaydedilmiştir.
