Abstract
A new species of parasitic mites, Myocoptes (Comyocoptes) nesokia sp. nov. (Acariformes: Myocoptidae) is described from Nesokia indica (Gray, 1830) (Rodentia: Muridae) from Pakistan. Females of this species differ from the morphologically similar species, Myocoptes (Comyocoptes) striatusFain, 1970, by the presence of a verrucose pattern in the middle part of the hysteronotum, longer setae cp (120–140 μm vs. 55–60 μm), and by the absence of scales on the opisthosomal cuticle posterior to the level of setal bases ps3.
