Abstract

Eutrombidium sorbasiensis sp. nov. is described from the Gypsum Karst of Sorbas, Almeria. It is similar to E. felmanmuhsamae Feider, 1977 in the lanceolate AL scutalae, but some characters, mainly the leg chetotaxy, allows us to describe a new species. This is the first time a Eutrombidium (larva) is described from Spain.

Key words: Eutrombidiidae, Eutrombidium sorbasiensis sp. nov. Sorbas, Spain.
