In the world, Tydeidae comprises 328 Distribution and host details of B. armindae are provided along with species in 30 genera, and Brachytydeus has the most number of species descriptive photos and illustrations.

Introduction Tydeoid mites (Acari: Prostigmata) are little and soft-bodied creatures with globally scattering. They live soil and herbaceous plants to relationships with invertebrates, slugs and backboned. They are mostly herbivore, mycophagist, pollen feeders, parasites on insects or decaying consumers. They are capable of surviving in regions with extreme climates like from the North to South Pole ecosystems (Krantz & Walter 2009). Tydeidae comprises 328 species in 30 genera, and Brachytydeus has a high amount of species with 200, subsequently Tydeus Koch have 50 species (Da-Silva et al. 2016). Çobanoğlu & Kazmierski (1999), reported 4 Brachytydeus species collected form orchards and shrubs, Brachytydeus amica (Kazmierski 1998), B. ferula Baker 1944, B. pulchra (Oudemans 1929); B. reticulata (Oudemans 1928) were mentioned in Thrace region, and all around Turkey. Following that B. livshitzi (Kuznetzov 1974), B. obnoxia (Kuznetzov et Zapletina 1972, in Livshitz et al. 1972) and B. paraobliqua (Panou & Emmanuel 1996) were mentioned from hazelnut orchards in Northern part of country (Ozman-Sullivan et al. 2005; Akyazı et al. 2017). Brachytydeus maga (Kuznetzov & Livshitz 1973), Tydeus kochi (Oudemans1928), Tydeus californicus (Banks 1904) and Tydeus plumosus Karg 1975 were mentioned recently for Tydeidae family of Turkey which are found in association with stored wheat, vegetables and ornamental plants (Kumral & Çobanoğlu 2016; Ueckermann et al. 2019; Çobanoğlu et al. 2020). Till date, eight species were reported under Brachytydeus Thor (Ueckerman et al. 2019). This paper aims to report the occurrence of Brachytydeus armindae in Turkey and present a revised key for Brachytydeus genus. 2. Material and Methods The mites were collected randomly from Thuja orientalis L. (Cupressaceae) trees in Istanbul and different storage facilities of stored wheat bran in Diyarbakır and Mardin during 2013-2014. In storages, wheat seed and debris were gathered from the different
