Abstract

Chrysomelobia labidomerae Eickwort, ectoparasitic mite of chrysomelid beetles, is reported from 11 Wisconsin counties, from 16 of 82 adult Labidomera clivicollis (Kirby) beetles wild-caught in Wisconsin, and from 27 of 141 presumably wild-caught L. clivicollis beetles from 13 Michigan counties. Wisconsin beetles harboring C. labidomerae were found in dry to wet-mesic, open habitats. A distribution map and comments are presented.
