First record of mite genus Ledermuelleriopsis (Acari: Stigmaeidae) in South America with redescription of L. verricula from Brazil

Although the family Stigmaeidae is one of the most studied mite groups because of its economically important members, data on their morphological variations are very limited and still rather poorly studied. In the present study, asymmetric and numerical variations in the body setae occurring in some adult females and males are provided. The known data on morphological variations based on literature data are also provided.

A stigmaeid species, Ledermuelleriopsis punicae Khanjani, Mohammadi, Ghiasi, Izadi and Mirmoayedi (Acariformes: Stigmaeidae), originally found in Iran, is newly recorded from Turkey and re-described. The specimens of L. aminiae Nazari and Khanjani and L. aydinensis Akyol and Gül are re-examined, and L. aydinensis Akyol & Gül syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of L. aminiae Nazari & Khanjani. L. aminiae is recorded from new localities, and in its deutonymph a malformation has been observed.
