Abstract :Kampimodromus corylosus Kolodochka (Acari: Phytoseiidae), which is reported for the first time from Türkiye, is re-described and illustrated, based on female specimens collected from hazelnut (Corylus avellana L., Betulaceae). In addition, the reinstatement of K. adrianae Ferragut and Peña-Estévez as a valid species is proposed. A revised identification key for the world’s Kampimodromus Nesbitt species is also provided.
