A stigmaeid species, Ledermuelleriopsis punicae Khanjani, Mohammadi, Ghiasi, Izadi and Mirmoayedi (Acariformes: Stigmaeidae), originally found in Iran, is newly recorded from Turkey and re-described. The specimens of L. aminiae Nazari and Khanjani and L. aydinensis Akyol and Gül are re-examined, and L. aydinensis Akyol & Gül syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of L. aminiae Nazari & Khanjani. L. aminiae is recorded from new localities, and in its deutonymph a malformation has been observed.
