Abstract
We describe a new species of pseudocheylid mite in the genus Anoplocheylus Berlese, Anoplocheylus corticicola sp. nov., based on adults and immatures, and record the occurrence of A. aegypticus Baker & Atyeo, 1964 from Thailand. Immature (deutonymphal) dimorphism in A. corticicola sp. nov. is reported for the first time in Pseudocheylidae. The discovery of pharate females of A. corticicola sp. nov. in deutonymphal exuviae indicates that the tritonymphal stage is absent in the female ontogeny. Males presumably develop directly from the male deutonymphal morph, but we could not confirm this. The ontogeny of A. aegypticus is also described for the first time. Remarks on selected morphological characters of Anoplocheylus are given.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:8D0A1868-F4C0-45B9-982C-9123317B00BA
