New data on the mite fauna of Hungary (Acari: Mesostigmata)

The authors give account on 4 species, viz. Garmaniella bombophila Westerboer, 1963, Veigaia planicola (Berlese, 1892), Ameroseius pavidus (C. L. Koch, 1839), Lasioseius fimetorum Karg, 1971 belonging to the order Mesostigmata, which have not been recorded so far in the Hungarian fauna. In addition, the genus Garmaniella has hitherto been unknown in the domestic fauna. A sole female of Garmaniella bombophila was collected from the flowers of sweet pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.) grown in glasshouse. The specimens of Veigaia planicola were found in the ground litter of an apple orchard, and Lasioseius fimetorum specimens were collected from the growing medium of champignon [ Agaricus bisporus (J. Lge.) Imbach]
