Extract

A display that exemplifies relationships between mites and insects is especially appropriate for an exhibit of acarology at the Centennial of Entomology in Canada. Mites of some 15 genera in ten families are associated with bark beetles. Those of a species group in the genus Tarsonemoides (Acarina: Tarsonemidae) are specialized as egg parasites of Ips (Scolytidae). This exhibit is based on research by Lindquist and Bedard (1961: Canad. Ent. 93: 982-999) on species of Tarsonemoides with Ips in California and is illustrated with similar material from Toronto.
