Androlaelaps maurii , a new species of laelapine mite, is described on the basis of female specimens collected from the pelage of the akodontine rodent, Deltamys kempi, from La Plata River basin in Argentina. Androlaelaps maurii can be differentiated from closely related species by its smaller size, the differing distribution of setae in the dorsal shield, and an unarmed opithogaster. This mite appears to be host specific to D. kempi and occurs on this rodent throughout its distribution in Argentina and Uruguay.
毛氏雄厉螨(Androlaelaps maurii)是厉螨科螨类的一个新物种,其描述基于从阿根廷拉普拉塔河流域的凯氏稻鼠(Deltamys kempi)体表采集的雌性标本。毛氏雄厉螨可通过其较小的体型、背甲刚毛分布的差异以及无武装的腹面与近缘物种区分开来。这种螨似乎是凯氏稻鼠的宿主特异性螨类,在阿根廷和乌拉圭凯氏稻鼠分布的整个区域均有发现。
