| abstract | Twenty-one species of tarsonemid mites are reported from New York, of which 11 are described and figured as new: Steneotarsonemus oconnori, Tarsonemus ascitus, T. dubius, T. imitatus, T. insignis, T. irregularis, T. neotalpae, T. nidicolus, T. praesignis, T. similis and T. smileyi. The majority were collected from nests of birds, mammals and insects, and from barn debris. Stored grain tarsonemids were also found in nests of birds, which suggests primary sources of stored grain infestations. |
