AB  - Feather mite specimens (in tubes with 70% ethanol or mounted on permanent slides) stored as museum material in the laboratory of the Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Selçuk University (Konya, Türkiye) have been examined. These specimens were collected from avian hosts (39 bird species from 11 orders) in seven different provinces of Türkiye in 2009-2021. As a result of the study, 50 species-level and four genus-level taxa of feather mite representing 12 mite families were identified. Among recovered feather mites, 30 species are new records for the feather mite fauna of Türkiye.
