Abstract
Cryptognathus scutellatus Summers & Chaudhri (Cryptognathidae) was known only from the holotype - an adult female collected from fleshy bracket fungus, Green Valley, Solano County, California, USA. Based on a recent faunistic study on raphignathoid mites of Sansa Gorge (Turkey), we found 14 females of C. scutellatus from litter and soil samples. This species was re-described and photographed here based on the Turkish specimens. This record confirms the presence and distinctiveness of C. scutellatus.
