ABSTRACT: In this study, the findings of three water mite species of the family Hygrobatidae collected from different streams in Turkey were evaluated.

Hygrobates (Rivobates) diversiporus Sokolow, 1927 and Atractides (s. str.) nikooae Pešić, 2004, which were illustrated and thoroughly discussed, are new records for the Turkish fauna.
