Özet

In the present work, 73 female and 2 male specimens of E. segnis were examined to determine their morphological variations. Asymmetric variations in the number of aggenital setae of 2 examined specimens were detected. The specimens were extracted from litter under oak and juniper by using Berlese-Tullgren funnels during an on-going study (Project № 121Z986) on mite biodiversity of Karasu Valley within the borders of the province of Erzincan (Turkey), cleared in 60% lactic acid and mounted in Hoyer’s medium on microscopic slides. The morphological variations were photographed with the aid a Leica DM 4000B phase-contrast light microscope...
