Abstract

Four new species of the genus Klinckowstroemia are described, all obtained from passalid beetles collected in Mexico and Panama. The species are: Klinckowstroemia pennula, sp. nov., K. melissae sp. nov., K. stilla sp. nov., and K. oconnori sp. nov. We found two instances where different mite species inhabited the same host, K. pennula, and K. melissae on Pseudacanthus sp., and K. pennula and K. candidoi on Oileus bifidus. This is the first record of the genus Klinckowstroemia from Panama. An updated key for the 24 species of Klinckowstroemia is presented.
