Hosts Parasitized by Trombidiid Mites

Abstract

Trombidiid mites live as ectoparasitic on various arthropod during the larval period. The larvae of Trombidium holosericeum on Rhagio sp. belonging to Rhagionidae family and the larvae of Trombidium brevimanum on Neobisium crassifemoratum (Beier 1928) belonging to Neobisiidae family are reported for the first time as parasitic. Hosts given so far in both species have been discussed.

Trombidiid (Acari: Trombidiidae) Akarlar Tarafından Parazitlenen Konakçılar

Abstract

Trombidiid akarlar, larva döneminde çeşitli canlılar üzerinde parazit olarak yaşarlar. Trombidium holosericeum’un larvaları ilk kez Rhagionidae familyasına ait Rhagio sp.’dan, Trombidium brevimanum’un larvaları da ilk defa Neobisiidae familyasına ait Neobisium crassifemoratum (Beier 1928)’dan parazit olarak kaydedildi. Her iki türün bugüne kadar verilen konakçıları tartışıldı
