Abstract

A new species of Scissuralaelaps (Acari: Laelapidae: Iphiopsidinae), S. huberi sp. nov., is described from the millipede Acladocricus sp. (Spirobolida: Rhinocricidae) in the Philippines. The new species is close to S. bipartitus Ishikawa, which also has males with heavily sclerotised anterior and lateral margins of the peritrematal and metapodal shields.
