Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of two dust mites, Sturnophagoides brasiliensis and Sturnophagoides halterophilus, are presented to provide an improved visualization of the taxonomic characters of these mites. Sturnophagoides halterophilus can be differentiated from S. brasiliensis by their expanded genu and femur of leg I. The differences in morphology of male and female S. brasiliensis are also discussed.
本文展示了巴西食虱螨和嗜悬食虱螨这两种尘螨的扫描电子显微镜（SEM）图像，以更清晰地呈现这些螨虫的分类特征。嗜悬食虱螨可通过其第一对足的膝节和胫节扩展与巴西食虱螨区分开来。文中还讨论了巴西食虱螨雌雄形态上的差异。
