Fig. 7. Posterior mesosoma and anterior metasoma of the bee Xylocopa nigrita. First metasomal tergite of the bee has two large clusters of phoretic deutonymphs of Histiostoma conclavicola and a single female of Dinogamasus crassipes. The anterior body of D. crassipes is partially inserted in the metasomal acarinarium and is hidden, while the posterior body is visible from the outside; photo by Barry OConnor, University of Michigan.
