Description of the second larval species of the genus Perumaropta (Trombidiformes: Chyzeriidae) from Iran, with new host records

چکیده مقاله

Perumaropta sibsuranensis Haddadi and Noei sp. n. (Trombidiformes: Chyzeriidae) is described and illustrated from larvae ectoparasitic on Gryllidae (Orthoptera) and Tenebrionidae (Coleoptera), which are new hosts for the genus from Bakhshan and Rahmatabad villages, Saravan and Sib va Suran counties, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran. So far, this genus has only been reported from the Nearctic biogeographic region, South American continent, Peru, with the introduction of one species. In this study, it is reported for the first time from the Palaearctic region (Iran). This is the second larval species of Perumaropta which is described in the world. The generic diagnosis of the genus Perumaropta is revised and a key to the larvae in the subfamilies of Chyzeriidae is provided.
