Abstract: Infraspecific variability of morphological characters was investigated in two populations of Tarsonemus nodosus Schaarschmidt. Males are more variable than females, greater variability was shown among laboratory reared mites than among wild ones. The most variable character appears in the measurements of leg 4 of male. Taxonomic significance of certain characters is discussed in relation to their variability.
