- Abstract
A new species of parasitic mites, Myocoptes (Comyocoptes) nesokia sp. nov. (Acariformes: Myocoptidae) is described from Nesokia indica (Gray, 1830) (Rodentia: Muridae) from Pakistan. Females of this species differ from the morphologically similar species, Myocoptes (Comyocoptes) striatus Fain, 1970, by the presence of a verrucose pattern in the middle part of the hysteronotum, longer setae cp (120-140 μm vs. 55-60 μm), and by the absence of scales on the opisthosomal cuticle posterior to the level of setal bases ps3.
