On the Identity of New Acarid Mites in genus Caloglyphus Berlese Occurring in Asian Expanse (Pakistan) (Acarina: Acaridae)

During this taxonomical exploration, 2 mites species were recognized and pinpointed from hypopial stage in the genus Caloglyphus. Mites were distinguishable morphologically and the new taxa identified were Caloglyphus bradys and C. austerus. Compared with previously documented species by analyzing 25 taxonomical characters of 10 already known countrywide deutonymphs, and the new taxa showed sufficient dissimilarity to be classified these as separate species. A historical review of the genus completed with already existing species; and traditional description, illustration of main body characters, geographical distribution, host, comparison remarks, matrix showing similarities and differences, and percentage of resemblance for the new species are given. These are followed by a hypopial-based key for recognition of 12 known Caloglyphus species identified from countrywide locations together with discussion on faunal relationships of this pest.
