Abstract

The phoretic mite Sennertia cerambycina (Scopoli, 1763) (Acari, Chaetodactylidae) has been documented for the first time within the territory of Serbia. Deutonymphs of this species were identified on a heavily infested female violet carpenter bee, Xylocopa violacea (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hymenoptera, Apidae). The infested bee was collected on November 11th, 2023, in Vrčin, near Belgrade.
