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.

Mediostoma izmiricum Snegovaya, Kurt and Yağmur, is a species of the family Nemastomatidae Simon, and is endemic to Türkiye. To date, there is no molecular data available for the 16S rRNA gene region for this species or its genus, which limits our knowledge of its phylogenetic position. The 16S rRNA gene region of this species was analysed for the first time, yielding a sequence length of 465 bp. Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic trees were subsequently constructed based on these data, revealing the phylogenetic position of both the species and its genus.
