Abstract
ABSTRACT Six species of mesostigmatid mites, Asca nesoica Athias-Henriot (Ascidae), Blattisocius tarsalis (Berlese) and Lasioseius aff. dentatus (Fox) (Blattisociidae), Onchodellus calcaratus (Koroleva) (Pachylaelapidae), Proctolaelaps bickleyi (Bram) (Melicharidae), and Zygoseius furciger (Berlese) (Rhodacaroidea) are recorded for the first time in Syria. Mites were collected from three localities at Latakia and Hama governorates during the period from 2013 to 2020. These new records increase the number of the Syrian species of Mesostigmata to 48 species, but many more species are yet to be discovered.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Acarology has a global readership and publishes original research and review papers on a wide variety of acarological subjects including:
• mite and tick behavior
• biochemistry
• biology
• control
• ecology
• evolution
• morphology
• physiology
• systematics
• taxonomy (single species descriptions are discouraged unless accompanied by additional new information on ecology, biology, systematics, etc.)
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor. If the English is not of a quality suitable for reviewers, the manuscript will be returned. If found suitable for further consideration, it will be submitted to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind.
