FRANCE
: St. Malo, 1970, no other data.

Holotype
in
AMU
.
Differential diagnosis.
Female of
Charadriineopicobia apricaria
sp. nov.
differs from two other described species of this genus by the absence of the hysteronotal shields; presence of short pseudanal setae but not as miocrosetae, and by the position of agenital setae
ag2
which are situated posteromedial to setae
ag3
. In females of
Ch. calidris
and
Ch. leucophaeus
, the hysteronotal shield is present; pseudanal setae are as microsetae and setae
ag2
are situated anteromedial to setae
ag3
.
Etymology.
The name of this species refers to specific name of the host—
Pluvialis apricaria
.
