This paper lists the mite species that have been recorded on hazelnut in Turkey, based on the collections of the authors as well as bibliographical sources, and gives the distribution and economic importance of each species. Forty-five mite species belonging to 20 families were found. The most common and important pest was Phytoptus avellanae Nal., present as both .gall. and .vagrant. forms. Cecidophyopsis vermiformis (Nal.) was also common in hazelnut orchards but has less economic impact than P. avellanae. Tetranycopsis horridus (Can. &Fanz.) was also important, but only on a local scale. Minor pests, widespread but not important, included Aculus comatus (Nal.), Tegonotus depressus Nal., Coptophylla lamimani (Keifer), Anthocoptes loricatus Nal., Eotetranychus coryli (Reck) and Tetranychus sp. The beneficial mite fauna was also rich, including 23 species of predatory mites, the most common of which was Kampimodromus aberrans (Oud.). Additionally, Czenspinskia transversostriata (Oud.) and Tarsonemus stammeri Schaarschmidt are reported for the first time in Turkey.en10.17660/actahortic.2001.556.70info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAcari; Agroecosystem; Cecidophyopsis Vermiformis; Corylus Avellana; Filbert; Phytoptus Avellanae; Predatory MitesAcari; Aculus; Cecidophyopsis; Corylus; Corylus Avellana; Eotetranychus Coryli; Kampimodromus Aberrans; Phytoptus; Tarsonemus; TetranychusCurrent status of hazelnut mites in TurkeyArticle5564794872-s2.0-33645120772Q4
