국내(國內) Mouse에 기생(寄生)하는 Mite (Myobiidae와 Listrophoridae)에 대하여

This studies were made to identify and classify the mites infected in the fur of mice in Taegu from Oct. 1977 to Feb. 1978. The collected mites were mounted by Modified Bereles's Medium for permanent preparations. The classification of body setae was followed as proposed by Sawazaki. The results were as follows: 1. The species discovered were two species of Myobia musculi (Scnrank, 1781) and Myocoptes musculinus (Koch, 1840). 2. The infection rate of M. musculinus was 100% of total 55 mice but M. musculi was detected only in two cases. 3. One pairs of ventral body seta ($V_2b$) of musculi was newly discovered at the ventral surface of just under the base of the 2nd leg.
