Morphological analysis reveals a new species of Storchia, indicating distinct setae variations in specimens.
A new species of the genus Storchia (Stigmaeidae), S. brevisetosa sp. nov., is morphologically described herein based on protonymph, deutonymph, male and female specimens collected from Türkiye, with original drawings of the species also presented. The female of the new species is distinguished from the known species by the presence of three pairs of setae on the genital shields, a distinctly shorter setae ve and different measurement lengths and ratios of some dorsal body setae. Storchia (=Apostigmaeus) aegyptiaca (Soliman & Gomaa, 1986), should be regarded as a nomen nudum.
