Ceratozetella denaliensis is a mite species in the family Ceratozetidae. It is endemic to Alaska and Yukon.[3]
Description
This mite is distinguished from others in the Ceratozetidae family by a strongly convex norogaster, a dentate distal margin, and a broad, lamelliform tutorium.[4] It lives in tundras north of the 60th parallel north in Alaska and Yukon, including in Denali National Park and Preserve and Ivvavik National Park.[3]
Two subspecies are recognized: Ceratozetella denaliensis denaliensis and Ceratozetella denaliensis minor.[1]
