Abstract

Berzercon ferdinandi gen. nov., sp. nov. (Acari: Mesostigmata: Discozerconidae) is described from carabid beetles in New Zealand. As in all Discozerconidae, Berzercon has large ventrally-directed opisthogastric suckers. However it is distinctive in its long marginal setae, tripartite gnathotectum, fused palp tibia and tarsus, the female's large dome-shaped genital shield and the male's highly modified hypostomal seta h1. This new species also represents the first Heterozerconina from an insect host.

摘要

费氏贝氏螨属，新属，新种（蜱螨亚纲：中气门目：盘贝氏螨科）在新西兰的步甲科甲虫上被发现并得以描述。与所有盘贝氏螨科一样，贝氏螨有大型的腹侧后胃吸盘。然而，它的独特之处在于其长边缘刚毛、三分颚护片、愈合的须肢胫节和跗节、雌性的大型圆顶形生殖盾以及雄性高度特化的口下刚毛h1。这个新物种也是首个来自昆虫宿主的异贝氏螨亚科物种。
