Summary
The benthic assemblages of The Lagoon Karina (Soke, Aydin, TURKEY) have been determined seasonally between May 2011 and April 2012. Totally 9 stations, which consist of 8 stations within the lagoon, and a limnocrene brackish waters spring flowing into the lagoon were sampled. As a result of the samplings, Tubificoides benedii (d'Udekem, 1855) and Clitellio arenarius (Muller, 1776) were reported as new marine Oligochaeta records for the Turkish fauna. Their morphological features were examined under a light microscope and pictures of them were given.
