Abstract Water mites of the genus Hygrobates Koch, 1837 are one of the most abundant water mite species in all kinds of running and standing waters in Türkiye. In this study, DNA barcodes were recovered from 26 specimens, morphologically assigned to five Hygrobates species. One species of the H. trigonicus species-complex (H. crypticus sp. nov.) from Eastern Türkiye, is described as new for science. Two species, Hygrobates thori and H. anatolicus were represented by two BINs. The first COI sequences is provided for Hygrobates anatolicus Esen & Pešić, 2013. The current diversity of the genus Hygrobates in Türkiye is discussed based on molecular and morphological data.
