| abstract | Eight species of fur mites of the genus Scbizocarpus Trouessart, 1896 (Chirodiscidae), were collected from the Beaver, Castor calladellsis, from Indiana. Seven of these were new and are here described. A lectotype is deisignated for Scbizocarpus millgaudi Trouessart, 1896, the type species of the genus. The different species occupy specific areas on the host as was the case in the observations of Dubinina (1964a) on the species from the European Beaver. Some characters insufficiently known and important in the separation of the species are described and figured and the life-cycle is described. |
