Introduction 
In Spain fauna of canestriniid mites is 
poorly known. Up to now were found 7 species: 
Mesophotia penicillata Samsinák: with 2 subspe-
cies M. p. peniciHata Samsinák: and M. p. similis 
Samsinák, Neophotia latissima Samsinák:, N. 
jureceki Samsinák, N. drvotocka Samsinák, 
Photia lusitanica Samsinák, Canestrinia hispa-
nica Samsinák, aH from continental Spain and 
Pseudoamansia chrysomelinus (CL. Koch) the 
on1y one species to date found on Ba1earic 
Is1ands (Majorca). AH species mentioned abo ve 
are associated with Carabidae, except P. clzryso-
melinus associated with the genus Timarcha 
(Chrysomelidae) (Theodorides, 1955; Samsinák, 
1970). 
At present are found two further species: 
Camirohylla feziana Haitlinger and Canestrinia 
samsinaki Beron, both associated with 
Tenebrionidae. C. feziana was obtained on Blaps 
sp. (Tenebrionidae) from Formentera and Ibiza 
and C. samsinaki was obtained on the same host 
from Ibiza.

C. feziana Haitlinger was described from 
unknown locality in Morocco by Haitlinger 
(1991). Only one male was obtained on Blaps 
appendicula (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). 
Because this species until now was known only 
from single specimen measurements are given 
for male, deutonymphs and larvae from Balearic 
Islands; the first time are described and figured 
deutonymph and larva. 
Canestrinia samsinaki Beron was known 
from Bulgaria and Cyprus; it was obtained from 
Gllaptor sp. in Bulgaria and Blaps sp. in Cyprus 
(Beron, 1975; Haitlinger, 1993). Ibiza is the third 
place from where is known this species.

Terminology used by Haitlinger (1991) 
differs from used in this paper. Below is presen-
ted a comparison between the terminology used 
26 Boll. SOCo Hist. Nat. Balears, 44 (2001) 
in the description of C. feziana and used in this 
paper: dl=el, d2=dl, d3=el, d4=hl, d5=h2, 
11=c2, 12=d2, 13=e2, 14=f2, 15=h3. he=cp, hi=c3,

Shape of idiosoma of deutonymph and 
arrangement of dorsal and ventral setae are iden-
tical as in males. The only differences concern 
dimensions of idiosoma, length of gnathosoma, 
1ength of sorne idiosomal setae and so1enidia on 
tibiae I-IV (Figs. 1-6). 
Larvae. IL 224,190, IW 168, 144, see 102,

cG 30, -, mG 22, -, GL 46, 52. 
Shape of idiosoma is similar to shape of 
idiosoma in males. Larva has already an dorsal 
setae, but setae e 1 are shifted to front of the idio-
soma (Figs. 7-11). On original drawings of male 
from Moroeeo has setae f2, h3 and h2 without 
long filiform apieal part; in male from 
Formentera setae h3 have such long filiform api-
cal part. Also deutonymphs have setae h2 and h3 
with such long apical part; in larvae setae h3 bear 
sueh apical part. Probably in males these long 
filiform apical parts are broken. MaJe from 
Formentera has Tal mm 18 long; in maJe from 
Moroeco this dimension was given mistakenJy 
(28~m) - it is the same as in mal e from 
Formentera.
