Halacaridae (Acari: Prostigmata) of the Aegean Sea of Turkey (Çanakkale and Izmir)

In Aegean Sea, the first taxonomic study on halacarid mites was done by Travé (1972), who reported Acarochelopodia angelieri Travé, 1972, Acaromantis squilla Trouessart & Neumann, 1893, Actacarus sp., Actacarus illustrans Newell, 1951, Anomalohalacarus sp., Anomalohalacarus anomalus (Trouessart, 1894), Copidognathus loricifer André, 1946, and Scaptognathus sabularius André, 1961 from Euboea Island, Greece (Durucan 2020). Of them, first mentioned species (A. angelieri) was considered species inquirenda by Bartsch (2009) because of not being illustrated and according to the same author A. illustrans and A. anomalus were probably misidentified and in need of verification.
