A Review of Mites of the Family Canestriniidae (Acari, Astigmata) Associated with the Leaf Beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) in Ukraine with Description of a New Species of the Genus Pseudamansia

Abstract

Three species of the mite family Canestriniidae (Acari, Astigmata) were found on leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) collected during 2000–2005 in Ukraine. Amansiella trilobata Khaustov et Eidelberg, 2001 and Paramansia bicornis Khaustov et Eidelberg, 2001 are new for the continental part of Ukraine. Chrysolina polita and C. fastuosa are new hosts for P. bicornis. Pseudamansia decorata Tratsch et Khaustov, sp. n. occuring on Timarcha goettingensis in Odessa and Vinnica regions is described and illustrated. P. decorata sp. n. females differ from P. chrysomelinus by distinctly shorter and stiffer setae d1 and c1.

На жуках-листоедах (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae), собранных в Украине в 2000–2005 гг., выявлено 3 вида клещей семейства Canestriniidae (Acari, Astigmata). Впервые для территории континентальной Украины указаны Amansiella trilobata Khaustov et Eidelberg, 2001 и Paramansia bicornis Khaustov et Eidelberg, 2001. Впервые как хозяева для P. bicornis приведены Chrysolina polita и C. fastuosa. Описанный Pseudamansia decorata Tratsch et Khaustov, sp. n., обнаружен на Timarcha goettingensis в Одесской и Винницкой областях. Самки P. decorata sp. n. отличаются от P. chrysomelinus заметно более короткими и жесткими щетинками d1 и c1.
