Acari Aponychus ontogenetic development new species Aponychini

Abstract

Aponychus mai sp. nov. is the fourth reported species of Aponychus collected from bamboo in Baoshan City, Yunnan Province in Mainland China. We described this new species based on a larva, three deutonymphs and ten adults, and also explored the ontogenetic development, especially the discussion of the development in leg chaetotaxy.
