Andreacarus voalavo
''Andreacarus voalavo'' is a parasitic mite found on the Malagasy rodent ''Voalavo gymnocaudus''. First described in 2007, it is closely related to ''Andreacarus gymnuromys'' and ''Andreacarus eliurus'', which are found on other Malagasy rodents. The length of the idiosoma, the main body, is 630 to 670 μm in females and 450 to 480 μm in males. Unlike ''A. eliurus'', this species lacks distinct sternal glands (secretory organs) between two lyrifissures (sensory organs) on the lower part of the female body. The ''pilus dentilis'', a sensory organ on the chelicera, is serrate, which distinguishes it from ''A. gymnuromys''. Females of ''A. gymnuromys'' also have a less ornamented sternal shield (covering part of the underparts) and shorter setae (bristles) on the upperparts.
==Taxonomy and ecology==
''Andreacarus voalavo'' was named in 2007 by Ashley Dowling, Andre Bochkov, and Barry OConnor on the basis of 15 specimens found on an individual of the rodent ''Voalavo gymnocaudus'' that was collected in 1994 in the Anjanaharibe-Sud Reserve in northern Madagascar. The specific name, ''voalavo'', is taken from the generic name of the type host. ''Voalavo gymnocaudus'', the only known host, is only found in the Anjanaharibe-Sud and Marojejy massifs of the Malagasy Northern Highlands. ''A. voalavo'' is closely related to ''Andreacarus gymnuromys'' and ''Andreacarus eliurus'', found on other Malagasy rodents. They are members of the genus ''Andreacarus'', which currently includes 11 species found on rodents and other small mammals in Madagascar and mainland Africa.
