Abstract

A new species of chigger mites, Morelacarus uazi n. sp., parasitizing lizards of the species Sceloporus grammicus from Mazapil, Zacatecas, Mexico, is described and illustrated. This new taxon differs from other species of the genus by having a palpal claw with 4 subequal paired prongs, and it can be further distinguished by the combination of the following characters: presence of onychotriches and mastitarsala III, absence of mastitibiala III, subterminala I, and parasubterminala I, and the palpal setal formula B/B/BBb. Additionally, an identification key for the species of the genus Morelacarus is presented. The new species represents the seventh species assigned to the genus and the first species described from a Mexican lizard.

摘要

描述并图示了一种新的恙螨物种，即来自墨西哥萨卡特卡斯州马扎皮尔的寄生在细纹强棱蜥（Sceloporus grammicus）上的乌阿兹莫雷拉恙螨（Morelacarus uazi n. sp.）。这个新分类单元与该属的其他物种不同之处在于其须肢爪具有4个近等长的成对叉齿，并且可以通过以下特征组合进一步区分：存在爪状毛和Ⅲ型跗节中部毛，不存在Ⅲ型胫节中部毛、Ⅰ型亚端毛和Ⅰ型副亚端毛，以及须肢刚毛公式为B/B/BBb。此外，还给出了莫雷拉恙螨属物种的鉴定检索表。这个新物种是该属的第七个物种，也是首个从墨西哥蜥蜴身上描述的物种。
