Combination of morphological characters and ITS-sequence to characterize a new species of Macrocheles (Acari: Macrochelidae)
Macrocheles seraphim sp. nov. is described from French and Moroccan populations. This species was found phoretic on three species of dung beetles: Scarabaeus laticollis, Geotrupes mutator and G. spiniger. It was identified on the basis of morphological characters as belonging to the M. glaber group, but also has similarities with M. muscaedomesticae. Its systematic position as investigated by g...

متن کاملMacrocheles muscaedomesticae (Acari, Macrochelidae) and a species of Uroseius (Acari, Polyaspididae) phoretic on Musca domestica (Diptera, Muscidae): effects on dispersal and colonization of poultry manure
Differences in the phoresy of the mites Macrocheles muscaedomesticae (Scopoli, 1972) (Macrochelidae) and Uroseius sp. (Polyaspidae) on the house fly, Musca domestica (Linnaeus, 1758) and the similarities in their phoretic dispersal and parasitism are discussed, altogether with the effects on predator-prey interactions. The prevalence and intensity of phoresy in the mite species were significant...
متن کاملCombined approach using morphology and ITS-sequences for description of three new species of Macrocheles (Acari: Macrochelidae)
Three new phoretic mites from France and Gabon are described. Macrocheles lumareti sp. nov. (from France) was collected on Copris lunaris (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae). Both M. bertrandi sp. nov. and M. ovoidalis sp. nov. (from Gabon) were collected on Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera). On the basis of morphological characteristics, M. lumareti and M. bertrandi were identified as belonging to the M. g...
