Water Mite - Oxus

Water Mite - Oxus

Size: 0.9 mm
In benthic mud sample.

Neat.
That's another oxid for the guide. Like the rest, this one is in the ethanol. Moved from Water Mites.

Oxus
In the same family as Frontipoda (Oxidae), but in Oxus the coxae do not extend as far up dorsally as in Frontipoda. A second difference is that in Frontipoda there is a median dorsal strip of sclerotized integument that is lacking in Oxus.
