Nothrotrombidium sp.

Remarks

This species was collected as ectoparasite of Caradrina clavipalpis (Scopoli) ( Lepidoptera : Noctuidae ). Caradrina clavipalpis (Scopoli) is recorded as a new host of Nothrotrombidium larvae ( Fig. 2 ). We need more specimens for identification the species because of the bad condition of the specimen. Collecting further specimens of Nothrotrombidium sp. from the original location will allow identifying the species.
