Scanning Electron microscopic observations of Copidognathus balakrishnani Chatterjee (Acari: Halacaridae) with notes on species of the Copidognathus balakrishnani group
Journal Title: Acta Biologica - Year 2015, Vol 22, Issue 846
Abstract
The halacarid mite Copidognathus balakrishnani Chatterjee, 2000 belongs to a natural group of closely related species, referred to as the ‘balakrishnani group’. C. balakrishnani was earlier described based on the specimens from Cochin back water in Kerala, India. The specimens used in the present study were collected in Goa, India, from algal turf of mangroves. This is first record of this species outside Kerala. Scanning Electron microscopic observations of some characters of C. balakrishnani is presented. Characters of the ‘balakrishnani group’ species are also discussed.
