Fig 10 - Piona ? - Dorsal
This almost huge water mite was caught in a small pond in Cerfontaine. Length 2200µm – Width 1430 µm. Stored in vial B003.
Process of identification.
I’m almost certain that it’s a Piona but it seems more difficult to find the name of the specie.
I have to produce a good picture with a lateral view of the 4th segment of the palpi to help in this identification process.
