Acari Homocaligidae Stigmaeidae Habeebs collection revision

Abstract

The raphignathoid mites in the collection of H. Habeeb are revised and keyed. Five species are redescribed and illustrated on the bases of the types and cotypes. A new combination is proposed: Cheylostigmaeus powersi (Habeeb, 1961), comb. n. (from Eustigmaeus). Ledermuelleriopsis taylori Habeeb, 1961, is considered a junior synonym of Eustigmaeus reticulatellus (Habeeb, 1961) (= Ledermuelleria reticulatella Habeeb, 1961).
