Female – Idiosoma 437 long and 400 wide. Genital field 67 long; postgenital sclerite bowed and 45 in width (Fig. 1 a). Male – Idiosoma 425 and 430 long, 375 and 310 wide. Genital field 45 and 50 long, 35 and 38 wide respectively. Number of perigenital setae are 128 and 152 in males (Fig. 1 b). Lengths of P 1 - P 5: 37, 67, 50, 87, 55 (Fig. 1 d). Deutonymphs – Idiosoma 320 and 317, 350 and 310 wide (Fig. 1 c). Lengths of PI-PV: 27, 55, 38, 67, 38 (Fig. 1 e). Litarachna communis is widely distributed in the Mediterranean Sea (Chatterjee et al. 2019). The morphological characteristics of the specimens from Antalya and Izmir accord with the previously given descriptions by Mari and Morselli (1983) and Koç et al. (2015).	en	Durucan, Furkan (2021): New records of marine water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia, Pontarachnidae) from Turkey. Persian Journal of Acarology 10 (2): 145-153, DOI: 10.22073/pja.v10i2.65665

Number of perigenital setae is 27 (Fig. 4). Lengths of P 1 - P 5: 25, 50, 32, 70, 27 (Fig. 11). The species easily differs from other Litarachna having a pair of small platelets with coxoglandularia 4 and associated setae fused with a glandularium-like structure in one platelet lying in the integument between the posterior apodemes of coxae IV. Shape of palps with a ventral protrusion on the fourth segment (Durucan et al. 2018). Litarachna duboscqi is widely distributed in the Mediterranean Sea (Durucan et al. 2018). The morphological characteristics of the specimens from Antalya matches description given by Pešić et al. (2019).	en	Durucan, Furkan (2021): New records of marine water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia, Pontarachnidae) from Turkey. Persian Journal of Acarology 10 (2): 145-153, DOI: 10.22073/pja.v10i2.65665

Genital field 70 long; postgenital sclerite bowed, 35 in length (Fig. 3 c). Lengths of P 1 - P 5 (Fig. 3 d): 19, 35, 37, 39, 15. Pontarachna adriatica described by Morselli (1980) from Northern Adriatic brackish waters, Ferrara and Ravenna provinces. The species has been found among the gut contents of the Golden grey mullet Lisa aurata from Slovenia, Piran Bay at the depth of 12 m and reported from Southern Black Sea, Sinop (Turkey) at the depth of 10 m depth (Chatterjee et al. 2019). The morphological characteristics of the specimens from Antalya fits description given by Pešić et al. (2019).	en	Durucan, Furkan (2021): New records of marine water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia, Pontarachnidae) from Turkey. Persian Journal of Acarology 10 (2): 145-153, DOI: 10.22073/pja.v10i2.65665
