MITES ASSOCIATED WITH RODENTS IN ISRAEL 27 Haemolaelaps centrocarpus Berlese, 1811 Haemolaelaps centrocarpus Berlese, 1911 Female (Text-figs. 39, 40). The dorsal shield is 1,020-1,080 //- long and 615-690 /i wide. In addition to the regular paired setae (including apparently setae ax andpxi) the shield has 25-30 asymmetrical neosetae, mainly on its posterior part. The number of setae on the dorsal shield is therefore approxinately no. All the setae are of normal length. Setae J5 are about three-quarters of the length of setae Figs. 39-40

Haemolaelaps centrocarpus Berlese female. Fig. 39, dorsal shield. Fig. 40, venter. The tritosternum is well defined and has feathered laciniae. The presternal area is ornamented, but the anterior margin of the sternal shield is distinct. The sternal shield is 150-170/< long (at mid-line) and 192-198/t wide (at the level of the second sternal setae). The anterior margin of the shield is fairly straight, the posterior margin is concave. The anterior pores are parallel to the anterior margin of the shield, the posterior pores have a very sUght outward slant. The shield is well ornamented throughout. The first sternal setae are markedly shorter than the second and third setae which are approximately of equal length. The metasternal setae are slightly over half the length of the third sternal Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original British Museum (Natural History).
