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

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.
