Male. Preanal setae 3 pairs (

D i a g n o s i s.
Kampimodromus corylosus
is very similar to
K. aberrans
, differing by the presence of five rather than four pairs of dorsal solenostomes (solenostome
is
present), closely spaced anal pores, a different shape of the ventrianal shield, a greater number of teeth on Df, as well as the shape, structure, and larger size spermatodactyl of male.
Kampimodromus karadaghensis
Kolodochka
, from the
Crimea
, also has 5 pairs of dorsal solenostomes, but its dorsal setae
AL
4,
PL
1,
PM
1 and the setae of the
AD
and
PD
rows are distinctly longer than those of
K. corylosus
, especially
PD
2, which almost reach the
is
solenostome, and the male spermatodactyl has a different proportion of parts (see the diagnosis of
K. karadaghensis
below).

Kampimodromus corylosus
is restricted to hazel, occasionally on other species of trees, shrubs, and herbs.
N o t e. 1. Description, illustrations, and measurements are based on
holotype
.
2.
Kampimodromus corylosus
shows a strong association with the hazel or bear nut. Rare exceptions do not mask this connection; the range of this species coincides with the range of hazel. In
Ukraine
,
K. aberrans
and
K. corylosus
do not occur together on the same plant, at least according to the author’s materials. Therefore, any information in early publications regarding the findings of
K. aberrans
on hazelnuts should be attributed to
K. corylosus
. It is highly probable that the reports of other researchers about the finds of mites of the genus
Kampimodromus
on hazelnuts can also be assigned to
K. corylosus
, at least such specimens need re-identification.
