New Zealand Tenuipalpidae (Acari: Trombidiformes): A new species of Acaricis from Cyperaceae and its ontogenetic patterns in chaetotaxy

Abstract The genus Acaricis (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) was represented by two species from Australian sedges prior to this study. A new species, Acaricis urigersoni sp. nov., is here described and illustrated from leaves of Gahnia lacera (Cyperaceae) in Auckland, New Zealand. In this paper, we presented the ontogenetic changes in idiosomal and leg chaetotaxy from larva to adult. A key to the world species of Acaricis is also proposed.
