Four new species records of Antennoseius and Anystipalpus (Acari: Mesostigmata: Ascidae) phoretic on Carabidae beetles from France

Abstract

Antennoseius pannonicus Willmann, A. pseudospinosus Eidelberg, Ansystipalpus livshitsi (Eidelberg) and A. percicola Berlese, collected from carabid beetles in southwest France, are new species records of ascid mites of France. The two species of Antennoseius are re-described and new host associations are provided. An attempt has been made to describe the spermathecal apparatus of these two genera for the first time.
