“…Comparison to related species -The new species is similar to three other species from the Oriental Region and to one Australian Notophthiracarus species in the presence of longitudinal dorsal ridges of notogaster: N. orientalis (Mahunka, 1985), N. hauseri Mahunka, 1995, N. lienhardi Mahunka, 1996 and N. tripartitus Niedbała, 1989. The new species is distinguishable from these latter ones by the heterotrichy of notogastral setae: dorsal fine, filiform and the ventral strong, dilated (versus homotrichy of notogastral setae).…”

“…Seta d on femora I bifurcated distally and distinctly remote from distal end of segment. Etymology -The prefix para is Latin meaning "near" and refers to the similarity of the new species to Notophthiracarus usitatus Niedbała, 1989. Comparison to related species -The new species looks like Notophthiracarus usitatus Niedbała, 1989 in the shape of body, shape of notogastral setae, shape and proportion of interlamellar and lamellar setae. However, the new species is distinguishable from the latter one in the presence of lateral carinae of prodorsum, shape of sensilla with fusiform head, rostral setae bent distally, presence of exobothridial setae, large lyrifissures ia, small setae ad 3 on anoadanal plates, bifurcate setae d of femora I.…”

Arachnid orders, Mesostigmata, Trombidiformes, and Sarcoptiformes, commonly known as ‘mites’, are abundant in mires, both as adults and as juveniles. However, due to the challenges of identification, the juvenile forms are often excluded from analyses. This is the first study in mires that included all three mite orders identified to the species level, including juvenile instars. We aimed to compare how diversity and the response to ecological variables differed if only the adults (ad) vs. the total number of specimens (ad+juv) are considered. Samples of 20 Sphagnum species (five subgenera) were collected and mites were extracted using Berlese funnels. Overall, nearly 60,000 mites were analyzed; of these Mesostigmata made up 1.87% of the total, Trombidiformes −0.27%, and Sarcoptiformes −97.86%. The study revealed 154 species (33 Mesostigmata, 24 Trombidiformes, and 97 Sarcoptiformes), the highest diversity of mites ever reported from mires. The inclusion of juveniles increased observed species richness by 6%, with 10 species (one Mesostigmata, six Trombidiformes, and three Sarcoptiformes) represented only by juvenile forms. Seventeen species are new to Norway (four Mesostigmata, one Sarcoptiformes, and 12 Trombidiformes, including five undescribed species of Stigmaeidae and Cunaxidae). Four of these were represented in the samples only by juveniles. Including the juveniles explained a greater amount of the variability of Trombidiformes (explanatory variables account for 23.60% for ad, and 73.74% for ad+juv) and Mesostigmata (29.23% − ad, 52.91% − ad+juv), but had less of an impact for Sarcoptiformes (38.48% − ad, 39.26% − ad+juv). Locality, Sphagnum subgenus and species, wetness, and trophic state significantly affected the mite communities and should be taken into consideration when studying mires. Since juvenile stages contribute significantly to mite diversity in mires, they should also be included in mite studies in other habitats.
