Fig. 6. Claws I-III of phoretic deutonymphs of the genus Centriacarus are unmodified and not twisted; by comparison, claws of other genera of Chaetodactylidae are enlarged and twisted.

Fig. 7. Ambulacra I-III of phoretic deutonymphs of the genus Centriacarus are unmodified and lack a dorsal fold; by comparison, ambulacra in other genera of Chaetodactylidae have a dorsal cuticular fold.

Fig. 8. Phoretic deutonymphs of the genus Centriacarus have setae p' (=q) on tarsi I-IV; by comparison, these setae are absent in other genera of Chaetodactylidae.
