In this study, a new species of zerconid mites, Zercon anatolicus, is described and illustrated on the basis of material collected from Turkey. Diagnostic characters of Zercon anatolicus: Anterior margin of ventro-anal shield with two pairs of setae. Dorsal cavities of general size and appearence, star-like with undulated and weakly sclerotised on their anterior margin. Pores Po3 situated beetwen setal rows J and Z, on the line connecting setae Z₄–J₃ located closer to the setae Z₄. Pores Po₄ lie on the line connecting the base of setae S₄–Z₅. Setae J₁–J₅, Z₁, Z₂, Z₅, S₁–S₃ and R₁–R₇ short and smooth. Setae J₆, Z₃–Z₄ and S₄ long and barbed with hyaline ending. Setae J₆ the longest opisthonotal setae (63–76 µm). Opisthonotal shield with distinct reticulate pattern in the anterior region and punctuate pattern in the posterior region. A key to the adults of Zercon species known from Turkey is also given.
