TI  - Scanning electron micrographs of medically important dust mite, Suidasia 
      pontifica (Acari: Astigmata: Saproglyphidae) in Malaysia.
PG  - 275-82
AB  - Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of dust mites, Suidasia pontifica, is 
      presented to provide an improved visualization of the taxonomic characters of 
      these mites. Suidasia pontifica can easily be identified by its scale-like 
      cuticle, presence of external vertical setae (ve), longer external scapular setae 
      (sce) compared to internal scapular setae (sci) and 3 ventral spines on apex of 
      tarsus I. The differences in morphology of male and female S. pontifica are also 
      discussed.
