Table 2 in Heteromorphic deutonymph sex of the solitary bee parasite, Chaetodactylus krombeini (Baker) (Astigmata: Chaetodactylidae)

Table 2. Phoretic deutonymph sex determination. Phoretic deutonymphs were collected from different Osmia spp. and sexes. Only mites that developed through the adult stage could be sexed. The number of each mite life stage, sex of the adults, and percentage (%) of total from each bee is reported.
