Abstract: |
|
| |
|
During survey of soil
systems of NW Spain, some abnormalities were observed in adult oribatid
mites. They appeared in individuals belonging to Zygoribatula
hispanica Subías et Arillo, 1998, Neoliodes theleproctus
(Hermann, 1804) and Oribatula tibialis (Nicolet, 1855), and
affected external structures (sensilla, rostral setae and anal setae).
The number of aberrant individuals was very small. The abnormalities are
described here. |
