| Abstract | Twelve larvae of unidentified species of Odontacarus
Ewing, 1929 (Acari: Leeuwenhoekiidae) were found parasitising
an adult male whip spider Charinus brasilianus Weygoldt
(Charinidae) in Santa Teresa, mountainous region of Espírito
Santo state, southeastern Brazil. These larvae occurred in the
intersegmental membrane of prosoma and legs. This is the first
report of ectoparasitic mites infecting a charinid whip spider
and the first record of leeuwenhoekiid mites parasitising an invertebrate
host. We suggest that future studies are essential to
understand the reasons why these events of parasitism are so
rare in the order Amblypygi. | pt_BR |
