Description and observations on morphology and biology of Imparipes clementis sp. nov., a new termite associated scutacarid mite species (Acari, Heterostigmatina: Scutacaridae; Insecta, Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
Abstract
A new species of Scutacaridae (Acari: Heterostigmatina: Pygmephoroidea) associated with Reticulitermes banyulensis Clément, 1978 termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) is described from Spain. By rearing the mites in laboratory cultures, all life stages (larva, female and male) of Imparipes clementis Baumann sp. nov. were available for descriptions, and information on the mites’ biology could be provided. As the new species strongly resembles I. adleri Delfinado & Baker, 1976, a multivariate morphometric analysis was performed to further support its species status.
