Abstract
Feather mites (Astigmata: Analgoidea and Pterolichoidea) are commensal ectosymbionts permanently living on avian hosts. The study was based on parasitological examination of 59 bird specimens representing 28 species from the orders Accipitriformes, Apodiformes, Columbiformes, Passeriformes, Pelecaniformes, and Strigiformes collected in Artvin, Samsun, and Sakarya, Türkiye. We recovered 18 feather mite species from the families Avenzoariidae, Eustathiidae, Gabuciniidae, Kramerellidae, Proctophyllodidae and Pterolichidae. Among them, 11 species are recorded for the first time in Türkiye: Ardeacarus ardeae (Canestrini, 1878), Chauliacia securigera (Robin, 1877), Eustathia cultrifera (Robin, 1877), Gabucinia delibata (Robin, 1877), Kramerella aluconis (Lönnfors, 1937), K. lunulata (Haller, 1878), Michaelia heteropus (Michael, 1881), Neochauliacia minuscula Gaud and Atyeo, 1967, Proctophyllodes musicus Vitzthum, 1922, Pterodectes rutilus Robin, 1877 and Scutomegninia phalacrocoracis Dubinin and Dubinina, 1940.
