Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

Within the common species Lepidoglyphus destructor (Schrank, 1781) two different forms were found: a large one with posterior dorsal idiosomal setae (d4, sai) not exceeding the body length by more than approximately 1.5 and a smaller one with setae twice the length of the body. The former is identified as L. destructor and latter as L. pilosus (Oudemans, 1906). Our data on the size of the idiosoma and sai, in contrast to other characters, shows two distinct groups. The smaller individuals are L. pilosus and the larger L. destructor. The mean length of the idiosoma in both sexes is about 100 microm shorter in L. pilosus than L. destructor. There are slight differences in the thickness and setosity of sai : sai of L. pilosus are thicker and more bushy, with bigger hooklets at the end of branches than in L. destructor. Regardless of these differences, it is debatable whether L. pilosus is a true species or a form of L. destructor.
