Özet

A new species, Scolotydaeus anatolicus sp. nov., collected from a bird's nest and the decayed bark of a tree, is described and illustrated. This is the first time that the family Paratydeidae has been recorded from Turkey. The morphological development of life stages is reviewed and a larva, protonymph, deutonymph, tritonymph and adult life stage are likely present in all species. Accordingly, previous descriptions are reviewed and their probable life stage is reported. A key to the species of Scolotydaeus is also provided.
