Shape of left protrusion indicated by a thick Hne; position of left Cg4 indicated by an arrow [Fig. from Barr (1977), modified]. Definition (adults) Characters of the Bandakiopsiidae as defined above and: • Coxal organization Bandakiopsis-Vike' (see under G. Bandakiopsis). • VS complete. • Cg4 placed at anterolateral edges of CI, situated at the tip of sclerotized fmger-like protrusion arising from the region medial to the suture C3/C4. Species included Cookacarus columbiensis Barr, 1977, described with females only, is the only known species of the genus. Inventory (adults) DS/VS. VS and DS complete. DS with postocular setae (R2) and 6 pairs of glandularia; dorsal furrow without glandularia and with 4 pairs of slit organs. Eyes. Lenses on platelets anterior to the VS. Coxae. See definition. Cg4. See definition. GF. C4 closely impending GF. Insertions of IV-L at level of GF. Ac. Three pairs of Ac in two rows. In adult females the distance between the first and second pair of ace- tabula about equal to the length of the second ace- tabulum; the third pair follows the second pair with- out a gap. I-L-6. With several small hairs and a few setae ven- trally; with a long dorsodistal hair and with well-de- veloped claws with ventral blade and clawlet. TV-L-6. Similar to I-L-6, but claw with less-developed ventral blade. Palpus. Palpus with a chitinization with well visible hexagonal structure; P5 with long claws; no promi- nent ventral hooks on P4, "ventral" seta on P2 slightly shorter than ventral length of P2, and shifted to a more lateral position. Chelicerae. Not described. Further remarks Males and nymphs. I. Smith (pers. comm.) collected males and nymphs of the species and will publish descriptions soon. Larva. Not known Habi
