First species of Thaitrombidium (Trombidiformes: Neothrombiidae) from Western Paleartic region, with a new host record

Thaitrombidium calomerium Hakimitabar & Saboori sp. nov. (Acari: Prostigmata: Neothrombiidae), collected as an ectoparasite on Calomera fischeri (Adams, 1817) (Coleoptera: Cicindellidae) from Taleghan City, Alborz province, Iran, is described and illustrated based on morphological characters of the larvae. This is the first report of Thaitrombidium since 1998 when two species were described. The host is the first time recorded for the genus. Also, we redefine Thaitrombidium based on new data and present a key to species of Thaitrombidium.

Abstract

Thaitrombidium calomerium Hakimitabar & Saboori sp. nov.

This is the first report of Thaitrombidium since 1998 when two species were described. The host is the first time recorded for the genus. Also, we redefine Thaitrombidium based on new data and present a key to species of Thaitrombidium.
