Abstract :Trombidium demirsoyi sp. nov. Sevsay and Buğa is described and illustrated from larvae collected as ectoparasites on Zodarion thoni Nosek, 1905 and off-host from the soil in Çanakkale Province, Turkey. This is the first record of a species of the spider family Zodariidae as a host for an ectoparasitic larva of a Trombidium Fabricius species.
