Lacinius insularis Roewer, 1923, is recorded for the first time as part of the Turkish harvestmen fauna. Prior to this, the species was only known from the island of Crete in Greece. The new collections were made on Nif mountain in İzmir Province (far western Turkey). In this study, L. insularis is redescribed based on adults from Turkey. Its detailed description, morphological characteristics, distribution and measurements are given. Also, genitalia, body dorsal view, chelicerae, and pedipalp are illustrated. In addition, this species is compared with similar species.
