All four life-cycle stages of the ubiquitous parasitic possum mite Trichosuroluelups crassipes Womersley, 1956 are illustrated. They comprise the ephemeral, quiescent and nonfeeding larva, an active feeding protonymph, an active feeding deutonymph and the adults. Morphological adaptations with viviparity allow the entire life-cycle of the mite to be completed on the host. The lack of a nidicolous egg or larva and the absence of a quiescent deutonymph implies transmission is via host-host contact.
本文展示了常见寄生负鼠螨Trichosuroluelups crassipes Womersley 1956年的所有四个生命周期阶段。它们包括短暂、静止且不进食的幼虫、活跃进食的若螨、活跃进食的后若螨以及成虫。胎生的形态适应使得螨虫能够在宿主体内完成整个生命周期。缺少巢居卵或幼虫以及静止的后若螨意味着传播是通过宿主与宿主之间的接触进行的。
