Species descriptions of the family Xyalidae, as well as of most marine nematodes, were in general largely made in the past century (e.g. Allgén, 1927; Cobb, 1920; Gerlach, 1957; Lorenzen, 1977). Many of these descriptions were based on one or two specimens or even on juveniles with relatively few features of taxonomic value. Lack of types and inaccuracy in sampling localities are other problems...

This paper reports on four species, in three genera within two families (Ameroseiidae, Digamasellidae) of soil-inhabiting mesostigmatic mites Turkey: Ameroseius lidiae Bregetova; sculptilis Berlese; Kleemannia nova Nasr and Abou-Awad Dendrolaelaspis lobatus (Shcherbak Chelebiev). The important diagnostic characters each species are reviewed to facilitate delimitation. genus Lindquist is reporte...
