Abstract

Deutonymph of Stigmaeus kumalariensis Akyol & Koç (Acari: Stigmaeidae) is
herein described and illustrated based on specimens collected from litter and
soil from Ekşisu marsh, Erzincan (Turkey). This is the first record of deutonymphal
stage of S. kumalariensis. In
addition, variations in the number of aggenital setae and structure of the
median zonal shields in some adult specimens of the species are reported.
