03AF182F1B24051723A9FA23FAF72F5B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. To date this species was known only from Madagascar and was obtained from undetermined Orthoptera (Haitlinger 2007 a). All specimens of C. justynae from Cameroon were obtained from Z. variegatus, excluding one specimen obtained from Eupezus rufipes (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). It is the second record of Charletonia from Tenebrionidae. Previously C. aerolata was found on undetermined Tenebrionidae (Beron 2008). Specimens of C. justynae from Cameroon differ from specimens of C. justynae from Madagascar in some characters, especially in 2 b’, fD and fV (Table 2). Tarsi I – III indicate high variability in the number of normal setae (Ta I 22 – 30, Ta II 24 – 30, Ta III 24 – 30); also tibiae II and III have a variable number of setae. These facts indicate that both characters, especially number of normal setae on all tarsi, have unimportant taxonomic value and should not be used in keys as for example by Khanjani et al. (2012).	en	Haitlinger, Ryszard, Kekeunou, Sévilor, Łupicki, Dariusz (2014): Charletonia cameroonensis Haitlinger & Kekeunou sp. nov. and the first record of C. justynae Haitlinger, 1987 (Acari: Erythraeidae) from Cameroon with redescription of the species.
