Description

Zachvatkinia larica Mironov, 1989

Materials examined. 2 males and 1 tritonymph from flight feathers of the black-headed gull, Chroicocephalus ridibundus (Linnaeus, 1766) (Charadriiformes: Laridae), Samsun, Türkiye, 1 January 2022, coll. M. Öztürk.

Remarks. The genus Zachvatkinia currently includes eighteen species that are associated with birds belonging to the order Charadriiformes (Dromadidae, Laridae, Stercorariidae and Sternidae) and Procellariiformes (Diomedeidae, Hydrobatidae, Oceanitidae, and Procellariidae) (Negm et al., 2013). In studies conducted to date, Zachvatkinia larica has been reported from over 20 species and subspecies of gulls worldwide (Asia, Europe, and America) (Mironov, 1989; Han et al., 2016). In Türkiye, this mite species has been reported so far only from the yellow-legged gull, Larus michahellis Naumann, JF, 1840 (Eren et al., 2022).
