Abstract
ABSTRACT A scanning electron microscopic study of idiosomal structures of Prasadiseius kayosiekeri (Prasad, 1970) (Acari: Otopheidomenidae) provides details of the dorsal idiosomal, sternal, genital and anal shield. The setae are identified according to the system proposed by Prasad [Prasad, V. 2011. Proposed nomenclature for idiosomal setae in otopheidomenid mites (Acari: Otopheidomenidae) known from sphingid moths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae). Internat. J. Acarol. 37(1):11–30]. These studies complement previous microscopy studies reported by Prasad [Prasad, V. 1970b. Two new species of Otopheidomenis (Acarina: Phytoseiidae) ectoparasitic on sphingid moths with a note on Noctuiseius. Can. Entomol. 102(10): 1209–1215] and augment with details in the electron micrographs.
