Uropodina mites from the Korean Peninsula (Acari: Mesostigmata)

Abstract

We presented thirteen Uropodina species from the Korean Peninsula; seven of them were collected in Republic of Korea (P. schweitzeri, D. kurosai, T. shakaii, U. spiculata, U. setata, D. koreae and D. modesta), seven of them in Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (T. ovalis, N. japonica, N. koreana, U. varians, O. conspicua, D. koreae and L. koreana). Twelve of the species found are recorded for the first time from the Korean Peninsula. Descriptions of male and deutonymph of T. shakaii are presented for the first time. The fauna of the Korean Peninsula is mixed; it consists of Palearctic, Japanese and subtropical elements and the three endemic species (D. koreae, L. koreana and N. koreana)
