Abstract: Tycherobius polonicus Bolland, 1986 and Neophyllobius podocarpi Bolland, 1991, originally described in Poland and the USA, respectively, are recorded for the first time in Turkey. Their morphological characters and distributions are given. In ad dition, a key is given to the known genera of Camerobiidae from Turkey

Introduction Materials and Methods The family Camerobiidae was created by Southcott Leaf litter, soil and moss samples taken from the (1957) with Camerobia australis Southcott, 1957 as the provinces of Manisa, Antalya and Afyon were brought to type species. Members of this family can be found on the laboratory in nylon bags and extracted in Berlese plants and grasses and in straw, moss, leaf litter and soil funnels. Mites were collected in 70% ethanol and samples. Five genera are known worldwide (Bolland, mounted on slides in modified Hoyer’s medium 1986). Of these, only 2 genera are known from Turkey, Dorsal and leg setal designations follow Kethley namely Tycherobius Bolland, 1986 and Neophyllobius (1990) and Grandjean (1944), respectively. All Berlese, 1886.
