New species and new records of mites of the family Laelapidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) associated with Coleoptera in Iran Author Joharchi, Omid Author Halliday, Bruce text Zootaxa 2011 2883 23 38 journal article 46881 10.5281/zenodo.277591 6f10d055-c36b-4b71-95db-73a41b0b9f7a 1175-5326 277591 Hypoaspis pentodoni Costa Hypoaspis pentodoni Costa, 1971: 71 . Specimens examined. Two females, Karaj, Nazarabad, 35°54' N , 50°38' E , alt 1230 m , 12 July 2009 , O. Joharchi coll., on adult Polyphylla olivieri . Notes. This species was described from Israel , on the beetle Pentodon bispinosus . It is now recorded from Iran on a different species of host. Costa (1971) reported a macroseta on genu IV in this species, but his illustration and the type specimens show only setae of normal length (A.S. Baker , pers . comm .), and that is consistent with our specimens. This species may be recognised by the short setae in the central area of the dorsal shield and its relatively small sternal shield, which is wider than long.
