Abstract

Trombidium rimosum C. L. Koch, 1837, which shows distribution in Europe, has been known only to postlarval forms to date. In this study, for the first time, larvae of Trombidium rimosum are described and illustrated from Turkey. All larvae were obtained by experimental rearing from field-collected females. Also, an abnormality was noted for larvae of this species.

Abstract

Avrupa’da yayılım gösteren, Trombidium rimosum C. L. Koch, 1837 türü şimdiye kadar sadece ergin formlarından bilinmektedir. İlk kez, bu çalışmada, Trombidium rimosum larvaları Türkiye’den tanımlandı ve çizimleri gösterildi. Tüm larvalar, alandan toplanan dişi bireylerden, deneysel yolla elde edildi. Ayrıca bu türün larvalarına ait bir anormallik de kaydedildi.
