Nanhermanniidae

Nanhermannia nana, copyright R. Penttinen.

Belongs within: Desmonomata.

The Nanhermanniidae is a cosmopolitan family of heavily sclerotised, slow-moving mites (Norton & Behan-Pelletier 2009). In members of the genus Masthermannia, the setae on the hysterosoma are prominently T-shaped and often inserted in swollen tubercles (Woolley & Higgins 1958).

Characters (from Norton & Behan-Pelletier 2009): Body cylindrical, somewhat elongated; holoid, with epimera II and III fused so that sejugal articulation only present dorsally; proterosoma not retractable into hysterosoma. Prodorsum posteriorly with tubercles or ridges directed over dorsosejugal furrow; base of bothridial seta with conspicuous sharp proximal d bend. Notogaster not subdivided transversely; fused to ventral region in posterior half, giving appearance of pair of crescent-shaped scissures directed between widely separated genital and anal plates. Legs with five free segments past coxisternum, femora undivided; genua similar in size and shape to tibiae, not reduced to kneelike segment.
