Abstract

ABSTRACT A new species of tarsonemid mite, Steneotarsonemus banshi Karmakar, Ganguly & Mondal sp. nov. collected from the Maling bamboo, Yushania maling (Poaceae) is described with illustrations of adult females and males. The new species is from the northern hill zone of West Bengal, India, and is the fifth species of the genus Steneotarsonemus known from India. The species shares several similarities with S. acricorn, but it differs by the shape of the cheliceral bases, the apodemal structures and the tegula and flange shapes. Key to the female and male species of Steneotarsonemus known from India is included. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:D61F0F09-1ECE-43CF-9F70-4954CD00D944
