A total of 23 uropodine species of the genus Trachytes (Acari, weleda skin food 75ml best price Mesostigmata) are reliably recorded to occur in Central Europe and included in identification keys for adults (23 spp.) and deutonymphal stages (9 spp.), respectively.

For the first time, the diagnostic characters of deutonymphs of the species T.baloghi, T.minima, T.

minimasimilis, T.mystacinus and T.splendida are figured.

Ten species found in Slovakia are redescribed (T.aegrota, T.baloghi, T.

hirschmanni, T.irenae, T.lamda, T.

minima, T.minimasimilis, T.mystacinus, T.

pauperior and T.splendida) and characterised by their external read more morphology, geographic distribution and ecological requirements in terms of habitat preference, affinity to merocoenoses and vertical distribution.The zoogeographic origin of Trachytes is analysed.
