“…No larvae were attached to dorsal abdomen, which is consistent with the observations of Pérez-Espinoza and Moreno Salas (2016). Almada and Cédola (2017) reported that most larvae displayed a preference for the ventral thorax; in our study, only around 14% of larvae were attached to the thorax and venter abdomen.…”

“…cf. cicindelae in Hexathrombium (Southcott 1993;Pérez-Espinoza & Moreno Salas 2016;Almada & Cédola 2017) and also in the species A. tetraseta, B. laemostenis and B. veronicae (see also Figure 10 (b)) during our reexamination of these type specimens. The tubercle, due to its overall small size, may have been overlooked by some authors and thus omitted in their descriptions.…”

The status of the genera in the small microtrombidiid mite tribe Hexathrombiini is reevaluated. Type specimens representing all genera were studied and diagnostic characters for Hexathrombiini are reviewed, summarized, and new data and a key to the genera in the tribe are provided: Alhamitrombium, Beronium, Hexathrombium and Hoplothrombium. Hexathrombium is the most speciose genus in the tribe and species recorded from South America are compared, as well as those with a divided pygidial plate. A provisional key to species assigned to Hexathrombium is provided. Finally, Hexathrombium abirami was captured in Peru parasitizing a bright metallic tiger beetle (Tetracha fulgida). A total of 361 larvae were removed parasitizing a single carabid host; this is the highest load of parasites reported in terrestrial Parasitengona mites associated with arthropods. This capture represents a new record of Hexathrombiini mites for Peru. A redescription of He. abirami using all specimens available to date is included.

This comprehensive review of host-parasite associations between larval Trombidioidea and its arthropod hosts includes 676 pair-wise (species-species) associations and is based mainly on published records, supplemented with new findings. For 27% of all nominal species assigned to the superfamily (excl. Trombiculidae and Walchiidae), and for 66% of species known from larvae at least one host record has been hitherto provided. Hosts remain unknown for Allotanaupodidae and Yurebillidae. Both generalist and specialist parasites have been recognized within Trombidioidea. However, for the vast majority of species, the fragmentary data on host-parasite associations do not allow differentiation between common and exceptional hosts, apart from general preferences towards the host group. Hitherto recorded arthropod hosts, exploited by trombidioid larvae, are listed. Ecological data relating to measures of host-parasite interactions are summarized. Names of mites and their hosts are verified and updated and the recent affiliation to higher taxa is followed.

First record of Hexathrombium (Acari: Microtrombidiidae) on Tetracha (Tetracha) brasiliensis brasiliensis (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) in Argentina

Abstract: Mites of the genus Hexathrombium Cooreman were collected from Tetracha (Tetracha) brasiliensis brasiliensis (Cicindelidae) in Bt cotton crops. This is the first record of this mite in Argentina.
