Two trombiculid larvae (Acarina: Trombidiidae) from Costermansville (Kivu Province, Belgian Congo) of which one is a new species: Schöngastiella wansoni n.sp

In August 1952 one of the authors captured a series of rodents of the type Rattus rattus alexandrinus at Costermansville. The rats were examined at the Medical Laboratory, Astrida (Ruanda), by kind permission of the Director, Doctor J. B. Jadin. Two species of trombiculids were found in one ear, which was very scabby and contained other microscopic arachnidians.
