[Répartition des acariens mésostigmates dans les terriers de Citellus relictus dans le Tien Chan occidental. Distribution of mesostigmatic mites (Parasitiformes, Mesostigmata) in the holes of Citellus relictus in Western Tyan Shan.

Résumé

The authors collected 6373 specimens of mesostigmatic mites referring to 26 species of 13 families on the Angren plateau of western Tyan-Shan from different parts of various holes (nesting and protective). According to their connection with specific parts of a nesting hole, three ecological-faunistic mite groups are isolated, i.e. ticks of "nest", "toilet chamber", and of "nest-toilet chamber-substrate".
