In the present work, we describe Trichogalumna ekaterinae sp. nov., which is clearly different from other known species of Trichogalumna in the specific structure of sensillus, reduced number of notogastral porose areas, and smaller body size. A supplementary description of another species, Galumna flabellifera, which is recorded for the first time in Palau, is given. Furthermore, we discuss aspects of the distribution, diversity and habitat ecology of species belonging to these genera in the Oriental region.

The specimens were studied in detail, and supplementary descriptions are provided; these include features of the rostrum, the subcapitulum and the surface pattern of ptemmorphs. The main morphological traits for this species are summarized as follows; body length 519-570 mu m, body width 363-410 mu m, rostral tip pointed, sensillus with a long stalk covered by minute barbs, porose areas Aa bulbous, porose areas A1, A2, and A3 circular, surface of pteromorphs omamented by fine granular structure and dense wrinkles, fine granular structure on prodorsum, subcapitulum, genital plates and anal plates, median pore on the notogaster represented as single pore.

Adults are characterized by having bands of striae in the posterior part of notogaster, the interlamellar seta are longer than all other prodorsal setae and the lenticular area covers most of the prodorsum. It differs from Pergalumna boliviana by having long interlamellar seta, bigger ellipsoidal porose area Aa and the presence of A2; it differs from Pergalumna paraboliviana by the shape of porose areas; i.e. Aa being ellipsoidal and big, A1 is the smallest, Ap is absent and there are longitudinal striate bands on the prodorsum and ventral plate.

The new species is similar to Pergalumna (Pergalumna) yurtaevi, but it differs from the latter by the surface of notogaster, the shape and size of notogastral porose areas, and the absence of postanal porose area.

    查看更多>>摘要:Two new species of oribatid mites of the subgenus Galumnella (Galumnella) (Acari: Oribatida: Galumnellidae) are described from soil and litter of forest zones of China Galumnella (G.) nonporosa sp. nov. differs from Galumnella (G.) nipponica by the falciform bothridial setae and obvious reticulate pattern in the anogenital region. Galumnella (G.) sidorchukae sp. nov. differs from Galumnella (G.) cellularis by the laciniate bothridial setae and by the absence of postanal porose area. Morphological additions to the description of Galumnella (G.) parageographica are presented based on Chinese specimens, which is recorded in China for the first time.

    Naiadacarus sidorchukae sp. n. (Acariformes: Acaridae) from Western Siberia closely related to a North American species, with a new generic synonymy

    查看更多>>摘要:A new species of acarid mite, Naiadacarus sidorchukae sp. n, is described from phoretic deutonymphs collected from a European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, pheromone trap in Western Siberia, Russia. Morphologically, the new species is very similar to the North American species, Naiadacarus fashingi, with the only diagnostic character being the shorter tibial solenidion phi II in the former species. Unlike some Naiadacarus species, which am truly aquatic, Naiadacarus sidorchukae probably does not inhabit fully aquatic habitats. This species and other presumably non-aquatic taxa, may represent the ancestral condition in the genus Naiadacarus, and, therefore are critical in studying land to water ecological transitions that have occurred in this mite genus. The monotypic genus Naiacus Nesbitt, 1990 is considered as a junior synonym of Naiadacarus Fashing, 1974 (syn. n.), with its type-species, Naiacus muertensis Nesbitt, 1990, recombined as Naiadacarus muertensis (Nesbitt, 1990), comb. n. A key to species of Naiadacarus of the world is provided

    North Pacific versus North Atlantic: a case with species of the amphiboreal littoral mite genus Thalassogamasus gen. nov. (Parasitifomes, Mesostigmata, Parasitidae)

    查看更多>>摘要:A new amphiboreal gamasid mite genus, Thalassogamasus gen. n. is described, characterised by two distinct dorsal shields (opisthonotum hypotrichous, usually with ten pairs of setae); peritrematal shield reduced and posteriorly free; setae al1, al2 on palp genu and al on palp femur entire; dorsal chactome homogenous; opisthosoma latcrocaudally hypertrichous; in female, epigynium whip-like anteriorly, endogynium with two thick sclerotic masss; in male, tritosternum fully lost, hypostome deeply cleft, cheliceral arthrodial membrane fringelike. The new genus includes T. sidortschukae sp. nov. (Chukotka and Okhotsk coast), T. kurilensis sp. nov. (Kuril Islands) and T. lindrothi (Sellnick, 1974) (Iceland) comb. nov. The female of T. lindrothi (Sellnick, 1974) is considered conspecific with the male of Parasitus (Neogamasus) anderssoni Sellnick, 1974, comb. nov., syn. nov. All three Thalassogamasus species are seaside dwellers, inhabiting sandy beaches, salt marshes, and seaweed accumulations. Keys to the species (females and males) are presented. Peculiar morphological aspects of the dorsal shields, peritremes, and leg tarsi of the new genus are discussed. For another littoral species of Parasitidae, Parasitus kempersi Oudcmans, 1902, a new combination is established, Phorytocarpais kempersi (Oudemans, 1902) comb. nov. Three littoral species of Uropoda (Phaulodinvchus) Berlese, 1903 are first recorded from Russia: U. (P.) japanorepleta Hiramatsu, 1980 (northern and eastern Chukotka, Magadan Region, Kuril Islands), U. (P.) marilima Hiramatsu, 1977, and U. (P.) marihirschmanni Hiramatsu, 1977 (Kuril Islands).

    查看更多>>摘要:A new laelapid mite of the genus Cosmolaelaps Berlese, 1903, C. ekaterinae sp. n., is described based on female and male adults found in a mixed ant colony of Lasius umbratus (Nylander, 1846) infiltrated by another congeneric species, Lasius fuliginosus (Latreille, 1798). The new species is unusual for Cosmolaelaps in having dorsal setae that are particularly elongate and tapered. In addition to the new species description, we comment on the classification of some species that were recently included in Cosmolaelaps.
