Abstract

Following the first incident in Belgium, the second European record of the honeybee hive inhabiting mite, Neocypholaelaps apicola Delfinado-Baker et Baker, 1983, is presented from Budapest, Hungary. In contrast to the original host in Pakistan (Apis cerana indica Fabricius, 1793) and the host in Belgium (Apis mellifera carnica Pollmann, 1879), the Hungarian specimens were associated to Apis mellifera mellifera Linnaeus, 1758. New knowledge about the morphology and the first Genbank sequences (cytochrome oxidase subunit I) are given with new drawings and scanning electron micrographs. Distinguishing characters between the two European Neocypholaelaps species are also presented.
