| abstract | The deuteronymph of Halodarcia carabidophila sp. nov. occurring under the elytra of four species of Carabidae (Insecta) in Belgium is described and compared morphologically with the same instar of the two previously described species of the genus, Halodarcia incideta KARG and Halodarcia porolata KARG. The deuteronymphs of H. incideta and H. porolata are shown to have been assigned originally to the wrong species resulting in the deuteronymph of H. incideta sensu KARG 1969 being transferred to H. porolata and that of H. porolata sensu KARG 1969 to H. incideta. A key is provided for the identification of the deuteronymphs. The relationship of the genus Halodarcia to other genera included in the Halolaelapidae is discussed and a division of the family into two subfamilies, Halodarciinae and Halolaelapinae, is proposed. |
