Umashtanchaeviella plethotricha, a new genus and species of the family Tetracondylidae (Acari, Oribatida).

Project description:A new genus of oribatid mites of the family Tetracondylidae, Umashtanchaeviella gen. n., with type species Umashtanchaeviella plethotricha sp. n., is proposed and described from forest litter, the Bu Gia Map National Park, southern Vietnam.

Revision of the family Carabodidae (Acari, Oribatida) XII. Yoshiobodes camerunensis sp. n. and Rugocepheus costaricensis sp. n.

Project description:Yoshiobodes camerunensissp. n., collected in Cameroon, is the first species of this genus reported from the Afrotropical region. Diagnostic characters include lamellae terminating in a bridge and not in lamellar tips; cup-shaped bothridia, bothridial ring present; rostral setae cochleariform, smooth; lamellar setae slightly lanceolate, barbate; fifteen pairs of notogastral setae; c3 lanceolate, rounded end, with longitudinal shallow grooves; other notogastral setae curved lanceolate-cochleariform. Rugocepheus costaricensissp. n. is the third species of the genus to be described, and the first collected outside the African region. Prodorsum presents a Y-shaped structure; elevated interlamellar process, superior flat zone; lamellae lacking lamellar tips; fourteen pairs of notogastral setae; four notogastral furrows, and an unpaired elevated central area devoid of setae. Both species are described and illustrated based on adult specimens, studied by means of optical and SEM microscopy.

A new species of the genus Epidamaeus (Acari, Oribatida, Damaeidae) from China.

Project description:The oribatid mite genus Epidamaeus Bulanova-Zachvatkina, 1957 from China is reviewed, and a list and key to all known species from China are provided. A new species, Epidamaeus conjungenussp. n. is identified, and its morphological descriptions and illustrations are also given. The distinct characteristics of Epidamaeus conjungenussp. n. is the coterminous ridge connected to the base of the notogastral setae. Pseudanal setae undulating attenuate, the proximal half with obvious, thorn-like barbs, the distal half smooth.

The soil mite genus Conchogneta (Acari, Oribatida, Autognetidae), with new findings from Mongolia.

Project description:This work deals with taxonomy, geographical distribution as well as known ecology of oribatid mites of the genus Conchogneta Grandjean, 1963 in the world. The majority of species belonging to this genus is known to be widely distributed in Europe, but only three of them are found in other areas of the northern hemisphere. Most species of Conchogneta are inhabitants of litter of various types of forestas, terricolous and epiphytic bryophytes, epiphytic lichens, and soil of steppe, river valleys, moor, oligotrophic bogs, floodland assemblages etc. A new species, Conchogneta glabrisensillatasp. n. is described, and another species, Conchogneta traegardhi (Forsslund, 1947) is redescribed from the northern and western parts of Mongolia, respectively. Conchogneta is recorded for the first time for the fauna of Mongolia. The species status of Conchogneta dalecarlica (Forsslund, 1947) is discussed. Species descriptions are accompanied with detailed illustrations. Furthermore, a key is provided for the identification of adults of the known species of Conchogneta in the world.

First record of the family Ameronothridae (Acari: Oribatida) from Japan - new species, juvenile morphology, ecology and biogeographic remarks.

Project description:The Ameronothridae are recorded for the first time from Japanese coasts with the new species Ameronothrus yoichi sp. n. from Hokkaido. The report of this species represents the most southern occurrence of an Ameronothrus species in the Asian Pacific region. Ameronothrus yoichi sp. n. can be easily distinguished from its congeners by the conspicuously pusticulate body surface and the loss of dorsal companion setae d on all genua in the adult stage. Based on adult and juvenile morphology, a close relation to Ameronothrus maculatus and A. schneideri is suggested. Ameronothrus yoichi sp. n. is classified as a lichenivorous inhabitant of sediment-free rocky coastal substrates. Due to a lack of genetic sequence data of nearly all ameronothrid species a molecular genetic comparison is yet unfeasible, but a Bayesian inference tree based on the 18S rRNA gene shows a paraphyletic clustering of the ameronothrid A. yoichi sp. n. and Paraquanothrus grahami. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:5B772E2C-7D5E-4C86-9955-AB84A84C50DA.

Revealing the diversity of a once small taxon: the genus Selenoribates (Acari, Oribatida, Selenoribatidae).

Project description:Three new intertidal oribatid species, Selenoribates elegans sp. n., Selenoribates quasimodo sp. n. and Selenoribates satanicus sp. n. are described from the archipelago of Bermuda. Selenoribates elegans sp. n. is characterized by its slender body shape, Selenoribates quasimodo sp. n. possesses a hunchback in lateral view and Selenoribates satanicus sp. n. exhibits two horn-like projections on its anterior gastronotic region. Based on these new findings, the number of Selenoribates species doubled at once and the distribution of this genus, formerly limited to the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, includes now occurrences in the Atlantic and Indo-pacific Ocean as well. The morphology of Selenoribates quasimodo sp. n. and Selenoribates satanicus sp. n. deviates conspicuously from the other known members of Selenoribates, thus indicating that not only the number of species but also the anatomy of this genus is more diverse than formerly supposed. Nymphs of Selenoribates quasimodo sp. n. show an interesting case of ontogenetic neotrichy, with gastronotic setae being duplicated with each moult.

The family Lohmanniidae (Acari, Oribatida) II: two new Oribatid mites, Meristacarus perikopesis sp. n. from Costa Rica and Torpacarus eidikoterai sp. n. from Kenya.

Project description:Two very particular new species of the family Lohmanniidae were studied and described using optical and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Meristacarus perikopesissp. n. displays complex cuticular microsculpture with cross-shaped grooves and pusticulate porose areas; ten transversal bands, with reticulate-foveate microsculpture; S4, S5, S7, S10 not crossing medial notogastral plane, amongst other characters. Torpacarus eidikoteraisp. n. with: prodorsum - rostrum weakly bilobate with small central structure and CSO present. Six transversal depressions present, transversal bands absent; but six transversal depressions present, none of the depressions crossing medial notogastral plane.

Two new species of oribatid mites of the genus Truncozetes (Acari, Oribatida, Epactozetidae) from Ecuador.

Project description:Two new oribatid mite species of the genus Truncozetes (Oribatida, Epactozetidae), Truncozetes ecuadoriensis sp. n. and Truncozetes monodactylus sp. n., are described from the Ecuadorian soils. The morphology of the gnathosoma and the legs is presented in detail for the first time for the species of Truncozetes. An identification key to all known species of the family Epactozetidae is given.
