Species: Multidendrolaelaps putte Huhta & Karg, 2010

Description of female ( Figures 2A–2D View Figure 2 ): Idiosomal measurement 523 (490–590) length, 286 (272–294) width.

Gnathosoma: The tectum tripartite. Median process of tectum truncated and shorter than lateral processes ( Figure 2C View Figure 2 ). Moveable digit with stronger basal teeth and a row of 8 smaller teeth; fixed digit with 4 large and 5 small teeth ( Figure 2D View Figure 2 ).

Dorsum: Dorsal setae i3–I3 24–32, i2 36 (35–36) and I4 36 (36–38). Most of the z and Z setae series longer (44–51) than the i and I setae; Z3 62 long. Posterior setae Z5 (156) and S5 (136) distinctly longer than the other dorsal setae. The posterodorsal shield with faint structural pattern in the area of Z3–I4 and slightly punctate behind I4 ( Figure 2A View Figure 2 ).

Venter: Sternal shield with a distinct transverse line between setae st1 and st2. Ventrianal shield with a transverse pattern anteriorly and pitted posteriorly, and bearing five pairs of setae (Vi1, Vi2, Vi3, Vi5, and Vz2). Ventrianal shield enlarged posteriorly and having a separated lobe at the posteriolateral margin. Peritremes reduced in length, reaching the level of setae st3 ( Figure 2B View Figure 2 ).

Legs: Normal setae for the family except for the basal dorsal seta on femur IV being stouter than the others.

Specimens examined: Five females from Doğanca, Bafra , Samsun Province (Site-1) (41°39′05″N, 36°01′10.9″E), 1 April 2014 GoogleMaps ; seven females, Doğanca, Bafra , Samsun Province (Site-2) (41°39′13.8″N, 36°00′45.7″E), 1 April 2014 GoogleMaps ; three females from Site-2, 16 June 2014; two females, near Kuşcular village, Bafra , Samsun Province (41°35′16.8″N, 35°52′19.3″E), 19 May 2014 GoogleMaps .
