Ontogenetic instars of Diapterobates brevidentatus, with remarks on morphology of the immatures of Trichoribatinae (Acari: Oribatida: Ceratozetidae)
Although the immature stages of oribatid mites of the family Ceratozetidae is well known compared to other families, information on the morphological ontogeny of most species is still insufficient or unknown. Comparative characteristics of immatures of species of the subfamily Trichoribatinae are gi...

Although the immature stages of oribatid mites of the family Ceratozetidae is well known compared to other families, information on the morphological ontogeny of most species is still insufficient or unknown. Comparative characteristics of immatures of species of the subfamily Trichoribatinae are given based on our own data and available literature sources. The major characteristics of immature instars of 20 species are presented. The ontogeny of only two species of Diapterobates is known, and here the morphology of ontogenetic instars of a third species, Diapterobates brevidentatus Bayartogtokh, 2010 is investigated. The larva and nymphs of this species are generally similar in their habitus.
