419 



Genus: 



Gustavia Kramer, 1879 (= Serrarius Michael, 1883) 

 Type. Leiosoma microcephala Nicolet, 1855 (= Gustavia sol Kra- 

 mer, 1879) 



Oripodidae Jacot, 1925 



Figure 355 



Diagnosis: These mites belong 

 in the Pterogasterina. Pteromorphs 

 are strongly developed anteriorly 

 and combined with each other 

 along the anterior edge of the opis- 

 thosoma. A coalesced portion of 

 the pteromorphs forms a bridge 

 over the propodosoma and covers 

 the basal part, or all, of the pseu- 

 dostigmatic setae and interlamellar 

 setae; this bridge may or may not 

 be coalesced with propodosoma. 

 Two or three pairs of genital setae 

 may be present.
