Abstract: A new harvestman species, Buresilia gumushanensis sp. nov. (Opiliones: Phalangiidae), is described based on male specimens collected from Gümüşhane province, Turkey. Detailed descriptions, diagnostic features and pictures of the new species are provided, together with mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences.
