First record of the rotundabaloghid mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) in Sierra Leone with the description of a new species

Year 2019, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 20 - 22, 29.01.2019

Abstract

The
first record of the rotundabaloghid mites in Sierra Leone is
presented here. A new species, Rotundabaloghia
(Circobaloghia) leonensis sp. nov., is described based on two
females and one male specimen. The new species differs
from the other Afrotropical roundabaloghid mites in following
character combination: the setae V7
and V8 pilose, female genital shied
and the ventral shields are ornamented by irregular pits. This character
combination is unknown within the African rotundabaloghids.
