Abstract
Three female mite (Acari) specimens collected from
 litter and soil under silverberry (Elaeagnus
 angustifolia) in Elazığ province, Turkey were identified as Eutogenes frater Volgin (Cheyletidae). This species shows distinct differences
 from other species in the genus, namely dorsal idiosoma covered by two shields,
 surface of the shields with papilliform granules, all dorsal setae fan-like,
 propodosomal shield bearing 10 pairs of setae, hysterosoma with 12 pairs of
 dorsal body setae. Eutogenes frater has been given before
 from the type locality, Bulgaria, and was later recorded from Algeria, Hungary
 and Iran. This species has also been known from Giza, the north of
 the Nile Delta (Egypt) and Burg Al Arab (United Arab Republic). Description of this species with its
 phase contrast and differential interference contrast (DIC) micrographs
 are provided here. This is the first reported occurrence of the genus Eutogenes Baker from
 Turkey.
