| Abstract: | Ancystropus notopteris sp. n. is described on the adult and immature stages. The males of all known species of Ancystropus except A. leleupi and the immature stages of A. kanheri, A. eonycteris, A. zeleborii and A. taprobanius are described or redescribed. Apomorphic characters of Ancystropus are evaluated, and are thought to have come out through sympatric speciations of mites on a few hosts independent of host speciations. |
