This study provides the first record and morphological description of the freshwater mite genus Tartarothyas Viets, 1934 and Tartarothyas micrommata Viets, 1934, from Aksu Stream in Isparta Province, Türkiye. The results of this study are expected to contribute significantly to a better understanding of the water tick fauna in Turkey. The findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive morphological reassessments and DNA analyses to better understand the species' evolutionary relationships.

Volume: 10 Issue: 3, 166 - 170, 31.12.2024
Bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin Isparta İli Aksu Deresi'nden Tartarothyas Viets, 1934 cinsi ve Tartarothyas micrommata Viets, 1934 türüne ait ilk kaydı ve morfolojik tanımını sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarının, Türkiye’deki su kenesi faunasının daha iyi anlaşılmasına önemli ölçüde katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Bulgular, türün evrimsel ilişkilerini daha iyi anlamak için kapsamlı morfolojik yeniden değerlendirmelerin ve DNA analizlerinin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
