03ECF925FF8B0B6B9622FB92FF52F7C1.taxon	description	Trichoribates (Latilamellobates) algarvensis (Subías and Gil-Martín, 1990) This species is distributed in Southwest Europe (Spain, Portugal) (Subías and Gil- Martín, 1990, 1995; Subías, 2004, updated 2024). The body length for the holotype of the species is given as 426 - 273 by Subías and Gil- Martín (1990) and for Spanish specimens 450 - 470 x 295 by Subías and Gil- Martín (1995). The Turkish specimen (421 x 277) are within the range of the species’ known size. The other main characters of the Turkish specimen match Subías and Gil- Martín’s (1990) original descriptions. In Portugal, only one specimen of this species (holotype) was found on the ground of creeping bushes (Subías and GilMartín, 1990). We found only one specimen in soil with grass.	en	Toluk, Ayşe, Kayseri, Mehmet Taşkiran, Asbtract, Türkiye (2025): Contributions to the fauna of the Turkish oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) from Rize province.
