Abstract

Neoseiulus cinctutus (Livshitz & Kuznetsov) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is reported for the first time for the Turkish fauna. This species is re-described and illustrated based on female specimens collected from Verbascum sp. (Scrophulariaceae) in Buldan municipality, Denizli Province. In addition, an identification key for species of the genus Neoseiulus Hughes found in Turkey is provided. This species is morphologically close to N. marginatus (Wainstein) and N. neomarginatus Stathakis, Kapaxidi & Papadoulis, known from the Turkish fauna. However, it is different by having a smooth movable digit as opposed to one tooth on the latter two species.
