New parasitic mites (Acarina) from rodents

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 April 2009

Extract

The genus Androlaelaps was raised by Antonio Berlese in 1903 for those Laelaptidae in which leg ii of the male and female is furnished with spurs on the femur, genu and tibia. Amongst the mites taken on a Uganda unstriped grass-rat (Arvi-canthis abyssinicus rubescens Wroughton), numbers of two new species of this genus were found and are here described under the names Androlaelaps oudemansi and A. arvicanthis.
