| [variability in leptotrombidium europaeum and two new related chigger mite species (acari: trombiculidae) from caucasus]. | two new chigger mite species closely related to leptotrombidium europaeum (daniel et brelih, 1959) are described from small mammals collected in caucasus and transcaucasia. l. alanicum sp. n. differs from l. europaeum in having shorter legs (taiii = 61-81, ip = 734-927 versus 72-90, and 855-1017), shorter scutal and idiosomal setae (d(min) = = 30-45, d(max) = 48-67, h = 59, pl = 58 versus 40-52, 54-69, 64, 63), slightly smaller scutum (ap = 25, sd = 47, pw = 89 versus 28, 50, 91), and more numer ... | 2004 | 15553769 |
| [a revision of chiggers in the vulgaris group (trombiculidae: neotrombicula)]. | a revision of chigger mites species, being closely related to neotrombicula vulgaris (schluger, 1955), is given. 2 new species are described: n. aideriensis sp. n. from western kopetdagh and n. macrovulgaris sp. n. from western caucasus. n. aideriensis sp. n. differs from all other species of the vulgaris group by presence of single barb on the lateral seta of palpal tibia in most specimens. this species differs also from n. vulgaris by lesser width of scutum, shorter setae of scutum and idiosom ... | 1999 | 10771778 |
