''Charletonia cuglierensis'' is a species of mite belonging to the family Erythraeidae, so named after its type locality. ''C. cuglierensis'' belongs to the group of species which possess two setae between coxae II and III. It differs from its cogenerate species by length measurements. It was first found in Sardinia, south of Cuglieri.Haitlinger, R. Y. S. Z. A. R. D. "New records of mites from Corsica and Sardinia, with descriptions of five new species (Acari: Prostigmata: Erythraeidae, Trombidiidae, Eutrombidiidae)." Genus 18.3 (2007): 529-543. Description Larva This animal carries 33 barbed setae on its dorsum, and one eye on each side. Its dorsal scutum is longer than it is wide, with three pairs of slightly barbed scutalae, as well as two pairs of nude scutalae. Its idiosoma exhibits a pair of setae ventrally, which are slightly barbed. Between its coxae II and III, there are two setae and 18 barbed setae posterior to its coxae III. All of its setae on coxae I through III a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Charletonia Austisensis
''Charletonia austisensis'' is a species of mite belonging to the family Erythraeidae. ''C. austisensis'' belongs to the species group with two setae between coxae II and III. It differs from its cogenerate species by various length measurements. The species was first found in Austis, Sardinia, after which it is named.Haitlinger, R. Y. S. Z. A. R. D.

It also shows 2 pairs of sensillae, both of which are nude. Its idiosoma counts with a pair of short setae ventrally. Between its coxae II and III it exhibits two setae and 14 setae posterior to coxae III, all barbed. Its gnathosoma shows nude hypostomalae and galealae. The palpfemu ...

Erythraeidae
Erythraeidae is a family of mites belonging to the Trombidiformes. Larval forms of these mites are parasitic on various other arthropods, for example harvestmen, but the adults are free-living predators. These oval mites are rather large, usually reddish coloured and densely hairy. The legs, especially the first and fourth pairs, are long and adapted for running. They have either one or two pairs of eyes and can be distinguished from related families microscopically by the presence of a single claw on the arthropod leg, tibia of the palp. The larvae bite a hole into the cuticula of the host and use a stylostome, which acts like a drinking straw, to drink body fluids dissolved tissues. The larvae of two described species of ''Leptus'' feed on bees: ''Leptus ariel'' lives on the European honey bee in Guatemala, and ''Leptus monteithi'' is a parasite of a ''Leioproctus'' species (Colletidae) in Tasmania.UMMZGenus ''Leptus'' Latreille, 1796(with drawing of ''L. ariel'') Harvestman ...

Mite
Mites are small arachnids (eight-legged arthropods) of two large orders, the Acariformes and the Parasitiformes, which were historically grouped together in the subclass Acari. However, most recent genetic analyses do not recover the two as each other's closest relative within Arachnida, rendering the group invalid as a clade. Most mites are tiny, less than in length, and have a simple, unsegmented body plan. The small size of most species makes them easily overlooked; some species live in water, many live in soil as decomposers, others live on plants, sometimes creating galls, while others are Predation, predators or Parasitism, parasites. This last type includes the commercially destructive ''Varroa'' parasite of honey bees, as well as scabies mites of humans. Most species are harmless to humans, but a few are associated with allergies or may transmit diseases. The scientific discipline devoted to the study of mites is called acarology.
