This study was carried out to increase information about Ophionyssus natricis (Gervais, 1844) detected on the sea snake (Natrix tessellata). The mite individuals collected from the cage of a sea snake were brought to our laboratory by the owner of the snake. They werepreserved in 70% alcohol, and then the mites were mounted on slides in Canada balsam, after making them transparent in lacto phenol for a few days. They were identified to species in respect of their morphological characters under the light microscope. A total of nine mite individuals were collected from the cage of a sea snake, and all of them were identified as Ophionyssus natricis as the result of microscopical examination. Ophionyssus natricis was recorded from the sea snake for the first time in Turkey. knowledge about this mite is provided in this paper.
本研究旨在增加有关在海蛇（棋盘锦蛇）上检测到的纳氏厉螨（Gervais，1844）的信息。从一条海蛇笼子里收集到的螨类个体由蛇的主人带到我们实验室。它们保存在70%酒精中，在乳酸酚中使其透明几天之后，将螨类置于载玻片上并用加拿大树胶封固。在光学显微镜下根据其形态特征鉴定到种。总共从一条海蛇的笼子里收集到9只螨类个体，经显微镜检查，所有个体均被鉴定为纳氏厉螨。纳氏厉螨在土耳其首次从海蛇身上被记录到。本文提供了有关这种螨的知识。
