Abstract: | Summary A new species of hypoderid mite, Neottialges (Pelecanectes) platalea, found beneath the skin of the spoonbill, Platalea leucorodia L., is described. A key is provided to the hypopi of Neottialges subgenus Pelecanectes with a complete genital median sclerite. The new species was found in the hypopial stage associated with hypopi of N. (P.) ajajae Fain and N. (P.) plegadicola Fain in the same host.Summary A new species of hypoderid mite, Neottialges (Pelecanectes) platalea, found beneath the skin of the spoonbill, Platalea leucorodia L., is described.
