In the period 1993–2006, during investigation of reproduction biology of the bearded tit, 106 deserted nests of the species were collected in Slovakia, Austria and Italy and their arthropod fauna was analyzed. Occasionally introduced individuals of the pseudoscorpion Lamprochernes nodosus, a frequent species in Central Europe, were recorded in the nests. Altogether 984 individuals and 33 species of...
Arctoseius pulvisculus has been so far treated in literature as a synonym of A. minutus. However, on the basis of the analysis of the type material (A. pulvisculus), the Halbert’s descriptions and figures and the material from the specimens that conform to this description (A. minutus) it was discovered they were two distinct species. The study presents the female description of both species and...
We surveyed the Mesostigmatid mite fauna of nests of the black stork Ciconia nigra, to determine the role of these mites in the biology of their hosts. We present preliminary results obtained on the basis of material collected from 31 nests. A total of 1,615 mite specimens was recorded, belonging to 39 species. The most abundant species were Dendrolaelaps strenzkei, Apionoseius infirmus, Macrocheles merdarius...
In 2001–2007, altogether 57 nests of lesser spotted eagle were collected in the Orava region in northwestern Slovakia and four groups of arthropods were extracted from them. Richest in number of species and individuals were mites (23 species, 17,500 ind.), followed by beetles (12 species, 725 ind.), whereas pseudoscorpions were represented only by Pselaphochernes scorpioides (39 ind.) and fleas by...
This study provides descriptions of two species of the genus Antennoseius phoretic on Carabidae of the subfamily Pterostichinae. Antennoseius maltzevi, originally described from Ukraine, is here redescribed from Italy. Antennoseius quadrispinosus is a new species collected from Mexico.
Together 22,119 individuals and 47 species of mesostigmatic mites, and 485 individuals of fleas belonging to 6 species were obtained from 16 winter nests of mound-building mouse, Mus spicilegus. The most abundant mite species were Laelaps algericus (38.2%), Androlaelaps fahrenholzi (20.9%), Proctolaelaps pygmaeus (16.9%) and Alliphis halleri (8.3%). Ctenophthalmus assimilis (87%) was the highly predominant...
The study presents a detailed description of a larva and a protonymph of Vulgarogamasus kraepelini together with their biometric data obtained from the analysis of 37 specimens. Moreover, the study includes complete figures that take chaetotaxy of palps and legs into consideration.
Mesostigmatid mites communities in yellow ant (Lasius flavus) hills and phoresis of mites on this ant species were analysed in the Wielkopolska Region, Central Poland. Samples were collected from ant nests located along a gradient of four different types of land use: forest, ecotone, meadow and garden. In total, 132 mites were collected in ant nests among which 26 species were identified. The highest...
The nests of the harvest mouse (Micromys minutus) from an extensively used farmland in Western Poland were recognized as a place of occurrence of a large group of invertebrates. In total, from 42 nests 6,544 individuals of invertebrates were extracted. The number of invertebrates was positively correlated with mass of mouse nests. There were found arthropods belonging to the following groups: Arachnida:...
A new species of Fijibates (Oribatida: Scheloribatidae) is described from mixed forest of Bi Dup-Nui Ba National Park (Vietnam) where it was found in semidecayed leaves on trees. Fijibates problematicus sp. n. differs from all species of the genus by the presence of tutoria and interlamellar setae with swollen tips distally (vs. tutoria absent, interlamellar setae simple). The supplementary redescription...
There are diverse relationships between mites and birds or mammals. These mites may play an important role in epizootics and in the perpetuation of some significant diseases. The purpose of this study is to revise the current knowledge of mesostigmatic mites occurring on birds, including their nests and mammals and their substrates, in Iran and to compare the results with other regions of the Palearctic...
The present study is based on oribatid mite material (Acari, Oribatida) collected from the Oumé region (Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa) in 2007. A list of identified taxa, including 67 species from 50 genera and 31 families, is presented; all species, genera and families are registered in this country for the first time; Kalloia simpliseta, Scheloribates latoincisus and Pergalumna paraelongata are recorded...
A new mite species from Vietnam, Neocunaxoides tropicus sp. n. (Acari: Prostigmata, Cunaxidae) is described and figured; it differs from related species Neocunaxoides grandis Corpuz-Raros, 1996 by the elongate basal subcapitular polygonal pattern, four pairs of sts on striated integument between sternal shields and genito-anal region, and from the other similar species Neocunaxoides ornatus Corpuz-Raros...
A new chigger mite, Lacertacarus croaticus sp. n. (Acari: Prostigmata, Trombiculidae) is described and figured from Croatia. The individuals of a new chigger were collected from moss and grass rhizosphere taken from small thermophilic meadow in bush area of Central part of Rab Island. A key to species of Lacertacarus is provided.
