Abstract

ABSTRACT The Italian acarologist Antonio Berlese proposed names for three North American species of the mite genus Carabodes. No additional information has been reported in the literature since the original description, despite their widespread distribution in eastern United States and Canada. Two of these are forest litter species and are diagnosed, redescribed and illustrated with scanning electron micrographs. Carabodes floridus occurs along the eastern and southeastern coastal plain and the Piedmont, with the Appalachian Mountains apparently forming a barrier. Carabodes gibbiceps is midwestern.
