Acari Parasitengona Microtrombidiinae active instars life cycle phenology experimental rearing COI sequence

Abstract

Milandanielia intermedia (Feider, 1950) is re-described. A female from which larvae were obtained by experimental rearing is designated as neotype. Verified diagnoses of active life instars are supplemented with data on habitat preferences, phenology and life cycle. Molecular identification of the species based on its COI sequence is provided.
