| abstract | Mite predators of synanthropic flies similar to Macrocheles kraepelini (Berlese) are described as a new complex of species belonging to the Macrocheles glaber species group. Two new species in the kraepelini complex are described, M. tantalus and M. hallidayi. The male of M. kraepelini is described for the first time. Information on the distribution and phoretic associations of all three species is presented. Macrocheles hallidayi and M. kraepelini are sibling species, which, when sympatric, differ in adult body size by the same ratio as the holarctic sibling species pair of M. perglaber and M. glaber. |
