Annotation:

The present paper deals with the members of oribatid mites of the superfamily Ceratozetoidea found in Turkey. Nine species of ceratozetoid mites in eight genera, representing four families are re-corded from the leaf litter and soils under hedge plants and hazel orchards in the Black Sea coastal area of Turkey. All species, Minunthozetes semiru-fus (C. L. Koch, 1841), M. pseudofusiger (Sch-weizer, 1922), P. punctum (C. L. Koch, 1839), Ceratozetes mediocris Berlese, 1908, Diapteroba-tes humeralis (Hermann, 1804), Trichoribates no-ms (Sellnick, 1928), Vicinebates sergienkoae Pav-litshenko, 1991, Xiphobates kieviensis (Shal-dybina, 1980), and Euzetes globulus (Nicolet, 1855) are newly recorded for the fauna of Turkey. The redescriptions of these species are given, and the taxonomy of the genus Vicinebates is discussed. A key to the Turkish species of Ceratozetoidea is given.
