Abstract
Eupalopsis Canestrini is a small genus of only three species: Eupalopsis gersoni Meyer & Ueckermann, Eupalopsis jamesi Gerson and Eupalopsis maseriensis (Canestrini & Fanzago). The family Eupalopsellidae Willmann was formerly represented in Turkey only by the genus Eupalopsellus Sellnick. Eupalopsis is now added as part of the eupalosellid fauna of Turkey, with the redescription of E. maseriensis, on the basis of a specimen collected from Bursa in north-western Turkey.
Key words: Acari, Eupalopsellidae, Eupalopsis, distribution, Turkey
