Description of the life stages of quill mite Mironovia lagopus sp. nov. (Acari: Syringophilidae) parasitizing the rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta (Phasianidae) from Iceland

Description of the life stages of quill mite Mironovia lagopus sp. nov. (Acari: Syringophilidae)... A new species of syringophilid mites, Mironovia lagopus sp. nov. (Acari: Syringophilidae) is described from feather quills of the rock ptarigman Lagopus muta (Montin) (Phasianidae) from Iceland. Females of this new species differ from the closely related Mironovia rouloul Skoracki and Sikora by setae d2, which are subequal or 1.1–1.2 times shorter than setae e2 (vs. d2 1.4–1.5 times longer than e2 in Mironovia rouloul) and by setae ag1, which are 1.3–1.5 times shorter than ag2 (vs. ag1 1.7–1.8 times shorter than ag2). The postembryonic stages of this new species are figured and described in details. In ontogeny of Mironovia spp., the observed pattern of setal appearance is not different from the pattern in other galliform-associated genera such as Syringophilus and Colinophilus, with exception for tarsal setae p’I, II which are absent in protonymphs.

Abstract

A new species of syringophilid mites, Mironovia lagopus sp. nov. (Acari: Syringophilidae) is described from feather quills of the rock ptarigman Lagopus muta (Montin) (Phasianidae) from Iceland. Females of this new species differ from the closely related Mironovia rouloul Skoracki and Sikora by setae d2, which are subequal or 1.1–1.2 times shorter than setae e2 (vs. d2 1.4–1.5 times longer than e2 in Mironovia rouloul) and by setae ag1, which are 1.3–1.5 times shorter than ag2 (vs. ag1 1.7–1.8 times shorter than ag2). The postembryonic stages of this new species are figured and described in details. In ontogeny of Mironovia spp., the observed pattern of setal appearance is not different from the pattern in other galliform-associated genera such as Syringophilus and Colinophilus, with exception for tarsal setae p’I, II which are absent in protonymphs. The key to all four species of the genus Mironovia is also provided.
