Abstract
ABSTRACT Based on a series of collections, two new species are described from South Africa, Kayella bothmai sp. n. and Schoutedenichia finisafricae sp. n., parasitizing Micaelamys namaquensis (A. Smith) in Eastern and Northern Cape Provinces, respectively. The new species of Kayella Vercammen-Grandjean, 1960, recently recorded as Kayella sp., is the first species of this genus on the African continent. The species Schoutedenichia major Vercammen-Grandjean, 1958, which was described from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is for the first time recorded in South Africa and on two species of murid rodents. Full morphometric and meristic data of Microtrombicula squirreli Stekolnikov, 2018 and Schoutedenichia paraxeri Vercammen-Grandjean, 1958, which were recently recorded in South Africa for the first time, are provided. http://urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:F9598A50-9E93-4DF3-B6F1-EB0FDDE6388D
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Acarology has a global readership and publishes original research and review papers on a wide variety of acarological subjects including:
• mite and tick behavior
• biochemistry
• biology
• control
• ecology
• evolution
• morphology
• physiology
• systematics
• taxonomy (single species descriptions are discouraged unless accompanied by additional new information on ecology, biology, systematics, etc.)
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor. If the English is not of a quality suitable for reviewers, the manuscript will be returned.
