Abstract

The morphometric comparison of two similar species from Spinturnix myoti group, S. myoti and Spinturnix andegavina based on the records from Romania and Ukraine was undertaken. Discriminant characteristics for nymph stadium are provided. Morphometric features of adult stages of these two species are discussed with respect to their applicability for species determination. Description and key features of nymphal stages of S. andegavina were compiled using metric and non-metric body characteristics. Records of S. andegavina from Romania and Ukraine are reported for the first time and previous records of spinturnicid mites from Myotis daubentonii (Kuhl, 1817) in northern Europe and Asia are also discussed.
