Figure 4 Position of the New Mite in the System and Types of Intimate Interspecific Associations Known for Acariform Mites Phylogeny according to Norton, 1998 [14]. See also Figure S3. Red † indicates Carbolohmannia maimaiphilus gen. et sp. nov.; a yellow star indicates a lineage in which some members are phoretic for at least part of their life; a purple star indicates a lineage in which some members are parasitic for at least part of their life (filled star = more than 25% of families; open star = less than 10% of families; cases of phoresy in non-astigmatine Oribatida are scarce; see references in the text); yellow ∗ indicates the phoretic ability of C. maimaiphilus.
