| description | Phoretic mites use bark beetles for transportation to new, suitable habitats. Some phoretic mites act as predators and parasitoids of the bark beetles’ immature stages, especially egg and early larval stages, and are potential agents for the biological control of scolytine forest pests. Mites live very frequently in relationships with other invertebrates. Many are found in association with various species of bark beetles. Here, a total of 41 specimens of different bark beetles of the genus <i>Ips (Ips acuminatus, Ips sexdentatus and Ips typographus</i>) were studied for presence, species composition, and abundance of phoretic mites. The beetles were collected on dead wood and parts of tree bark of <i>Pinus nigra, Pinus sylvestris</i> and <i>Picea abies</i> in the Black Sea Mountains in Kastamonu and Artin Province of Turkey. A total of nine mite species were found, including <i>Dendrolaelaps quadrisetus</i>, <i>Ereynetes</i> sp., <i>Histiostoma piceae</i>, <i>Paraleius</i> cf. <i>leontonychus</i>, <i>Pleuronectocelaeno barbara.</i>, <i>Proctolaelaps hystricoides</i>, <i>Schizostethus simulatrix</i>, <i>Trichouropoda lamellosa</i> and <i>Uroobovella</i><i>ipidis</i>. All species are identified for the first time within Turkish fauna. |
