Kurt, Pınar; Koç, Halil
Based on both morphological and molecular data, the genus Carinostoma Kratochvíl, 1958 is recorded for the first time from Turkey. Detailed illustrations of the dorsal body structure, chelicera, and pedipalp are provided. Additionally, an 835 bp fragment of the 28S rRNA gene was sequenced. The systematic position of the species and its genus within the family Nemastomatidae was determined based on Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian (BEAST) analyses.

Kurt, Kemal; Kurt, Pınar
A new species, Dicranolasma gumushanensissp. n., is described from the Gümüşhane Province of the northeastern region of Turkey, based on morphological and genetic evidence. The newly described species differs from similar species within the genus, particularly due to morphological characteristics such as the structure of the chelicerae and genitalia, and its molecular characteristics. A detailed description and diagnostic characteristics of the new species are provided, in addition to images of its body in dorsal view, chelicerae, pedipalps and genitalia. The nuclear (28S rRNA) and mitochondrial (COI) gene regions of the species were sequenced, revealing its phylogenetic relationships within the genus Dicranolasma. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:1C3512F0-4ED4-4B60-A0FC-65EF62173573.

Kurt, Kemal; Kurt, Pınar; Yağmur, Ersen Aydın
Dicranolasma ridvansahini sp. nov. (Opiliones: Dicranolasmatidae) is described from Nif mountain, İzmir, Türkiye on the basis of morphological and molecular characteristics. Detailed descriptions and diagnostic features of the new species, as well as illustration of relevant details are given. The new species was compared with some related species in the genus for morphological differences. Additionally, the 28S rRNA gene region was sequenced, and Bayesian Inference (BI) phylogenetic trees were constructed to clarify the species’ evolutionary relationships.
