A new species of Coreitarsonemus (Acari: Heterostigmata: Tarsonemidae) from the odoriferous glands of Amorbus rhombifer (Hemiptera: Coreidae)

A new species of tarsonemid mite from the tribe Coreitarsonemini, Coreitarsonemus erato sp. nov., is described from female, male and larval specimens collected from the odoriferous glands of the Australian gum-tree bug Amorbus rhombifer (Westwood, 1842). We summarise the hosts and distributions of each species, provide updated keys, and speculate that species of Coreitarsonemini are largely restricted to the tropics and host species that persist as adults year-round.
