✦ Synopsis

Methods

Mite larvae belonging to the genus Unionicola hatch from eggs laid in freshwater mussels . Larvae of the same genus are found attached to the legs and abdomens of adult Chironomids . Larvae from these two very different habitats are described and it is demonstrated that two of those found on Chironomids are identical with two obtained from mussels . It is thus confirmed that some mites of the genus Unionicola which lay their eggs in mussels also have larvae which parasitise Chironomids .
