INTRODUCTION Oudemans (1916) has erected the genus Schwiebea, for the reception of a single species, S. talpa. Since that time more than thirty species have been described in or transferred to this genus. Some of these species have been poorly described or are known only from the hypopial nymph and, therefore, their exact taxonomic position remains uncertain. Beside the typical species, Oudemans (1924a, b) has described two other species in the genus Schwiebea: S. scalops and S. italica. Moreover, two other species described by Oudemans in the genus Tyroglyphus have been transferred to Schwiebea by some authors: T. novus Oudemans, 1906, and T. eurynympha Oudemans, 1911. The purpose of this paper is to redescribe these five species of Oudemans and by this... |

INTRODUCTION In this paper we describe for the first time the life-cycle of Acotyledon paradoxα Oudemans, 1903. This species was known, so far, only from the hypopial stage and a protonymph. The discovery of the adults allows us to precise the systematic position of the genus Acotyledon and to throw light on this difficult group of Acaridae. All our material was found by the junior author in a nest of a screech owl, Otus asio, in Syracuse, New York, U.S.A. It includes numerous hypopi, protonymphs, tritonymphs and adults of both sexes. One of our protonymphs contained a completely developed hypopus identical with the other free hypopi. REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE Oudemans (1903) erected the genus Acotyledon for a new species, A. paradoxa, represented only by... |

Introduction Oudemans has described several species of mites of the genus Sennertia, most of them only after their heteromorphic deutonymphs (or hypopi). These species live as adults in the nests of Hymenoptera, especially bees, and are transported phoretically from nest to nest by means of their heteromorphic deutonymphs which attach themselves to the adult bees. Since the time that Oudemans published his material numerous new species of Sennertia have been described in several parts of the world. In order to recognize these species, generally known only after their hypopial stage, it has become necessary to utilize new morphological criteria. Therefore a new and more complete description of the old species is needed. The present paper is devoted to the... |

Five new species of Rosensteiniidae are described from Indonesia, one from a bat Cheiromeles jacobsoni (Thomas, 1923) (Molossilichus macrobursatus spec. nov.) and four from the earwig Xeniaria jacobsoni Burr, 1912, living in the guano of this bat (Micronychites postverrucosus spec. nov., Nycteriglyphus xeniariae spec. nov., Nycteriglyphus longipilis spec. nov. and Xeniarioptes scutellatus gen. nov., spec. nov.). |

INTRODUCTION The mites of the genus Hyadesia are of cosmopolitan distribution. They live in the intertidal area where they feed mainly on algae in salt water. Up to now 16 species have been described in this genus. Most of these species have been inadequately described and it is generally very difficult to recognize them from the original description and figures. Through the courtesy of Dr. L. van der Hammen of the Leiden Museum, we were able to examine the hyadesid mites conserved in that Museum. The present paper is devoted to the study of this collection. It allows us to redescribe Hyadesia vietsi Womersley, 1961, and to record some new localities for Hyadesia fusca (Lohmann, 1894). Hyadesia vietsi Womersley, 1961 (figs. 1-7) This species is known after... |
