Ontogenetic instars of Phyllhermannia bimaculata Hammer, 1979 (Acari, Oribatida, Hermanniidae)
Abstract
The morphology of juvenile instars (larva, proto-, deuto- and tritonymph) of the Oriental oribatid mite species Phyllhermannia bimaculata Hammer, 1979 (Oribatida, Hermanniidae) is studied, based on arboreal material from southern Vietnam. The SEM micrographs and morphological traits summarized for adults of P. bimaculata are presented. Juveniles of P. bimaculata are compared to those of other known species of the genus.
