Abstract
Abstract The general morphology and RAPD banding pattern of adult female Varroa rindereri, n. sp. collected from drone brood of Apis koschevnikovi Buttel-Reepen, a cavity-nesting bee in Borneo, is described and illustrated. This is the third known species of Varroa recorded from cavity nesting bees in Asia, the others being V. jacobsoni Oudemans and V. underwoodi Delfinado-Baker & Aggarwal. The new species resembles V. jacobsoni. Morphological and molecular differences between the two species are discussed.
