Diapterobates

Diapterobates notatus, from the UNIS University Centre in Svalbard.

Belongs within: Ceratozetoidea.

Diapterobates is a genus of oribatid mites found in the Holarctic region (Subías 2004). The type species Diapterobates humeralis has been studied as a control agent for the hemlock woolly adelgid Adelges tsugae, as in the process of feeding on the woolly filaments covering this insect's ovisacs it tends to dislodge and destroy the eggs themselves.

Characters (from Balogh & Balogh 1992): Prodorsum with lamellae and translamella present; sensillus short with dilated head. Notogaster with thirteen pairs of setae; four pairs of areae porosae; areae porosae Aa elongate, thrice or more as long as wide; pteromorphae immovable. Six pairs of genital setae; one pair of aggenital setae; two pairs of anal setae; three pairs of adanal setae. Legs tridactyle.
