Adult individuals as a result of a systematic evaluation of the collected and bioecological aspect, four species in four genera in two families were determinated. Description, morphology, habitat, ecology and geographical distribution of the species were examined. At the end of this study, in Phalangiidae, Lacinius ephippiatus (CL Koch, 1835), Odiellus lendli (Soerensen 1894), Zacheus crista (Brulle, 1832), and in Dicranolasmatidae, Dicranolasma scabrum (Herbst, 1799) have been identified.
