Chenophila nanseni sp. n. (Acari: Syringophilidae) parasitising the barnacle goose in Svalbard

Abstract A new species, Chenophila nanseni sp. n., collected from covert quills of the barnacle goose Branta leucopsis (Anseriformes: Anatidae) in Svalbard (Spitsbergen) is described and female polymorphism is recorded in this species. In syringophilids this phenomenon was known only for representat...
