Tarsonemus longitibialis (Attiah) Metatarsonemus longitibialis Attiah, 1970: 190. Tarsonemus longitibialis, Lindquist, 1985:1285; Lin and Zhang, 2002: 246. Remarks: Examining the specimens available to Attiah, in the same slide preparation of the holotype male, Lindquist (1985) detected two adult females that apparently belonged to this species and that were in poor condition. He distinguished them from females of M. simplicissimus by three characteristics, one of which was the absence of fissures in coxisternal plates I to IV. This character state leads us to exclude T. longitibialis from Metatarsonemus, as re-defined here. An examination of the females is necessary before a conclusion about which genus T. longitibialis belongs, but is provisionally retained in Tarsonemus. We tried to analyze these females by examining the same slide studied by Lindquist (1985) which supposedly would contain the females (in poor conditions according to Lindquist) and males of T. longitibialis. But only males were found. Though we carefully looked for them, no females were evident. Possibly they were crystallized by the medium or lost during some remounting procedure. Therefore, a definitive conclusion in this regard requires an examination of additional specimens collected from the type locality., Published as part of Lofego, Antonio Carlos, Cavalcante, Ana Cristina Cerqueira, Demite, Peterson Rodrigo, Rezende, José Marcos, Ochoa, Ronald & Moraes, Gilberto José De, 2019, Reinstatement of Metatarsonemus Attiah (Acari: Tarsonemidae), with description of a new species, redefinition of the genus and a key to the world species, pp. 307-329 in Zootaxa 4711 (2) on page 323, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4711.2.5, http://zenodo.org/record/3577031, {"references":["Attiah, H.

Rezende. Holotype and 15 paratypes deposited at DZSJRP; 10 paratypes deposited at USNM. Remarks. Females of Ceratotarsonemus amazonicus sp. nov. are most similar to those of Ceratotarsonemus alas Ochoa & Vargas in having tergite C with reticulation forming a broad inverted U-shape, the reticula wider than long, identical lengths of dorsal setae sc1 and f, and the sejugal apodeme well defined along its whole extension. Female C. amazonicus, sp. nov. are distinguished by the length of their dorsal setae c2 and e (~ 30% longer than female C. alas, for both pairs of setae) and by the number of reticula rows on tergite C (four rows observed in C. amazonicus sp. nov. whereas just two in C. alas). Etymology. The species is named amazonicus indicating the biome where the species has been found., Published as part of Rezende, José Marcos, Lofego, Antonio Carlos, Gulbronson, Connor, Bauchan, Gary & Ochoa, Ronald, 2018, Review of the genus Ceratotarsonemus De Leon, 1956 (Acari: Prostigmata: Tarsonemidae), with description of a new species from the Amazon Forest, pp. 271-294 in Zootaxa 4483 (2) on pages 275-286, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4483.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/1437673

According to Ochoa et al. (1995), the adult females of Ceratotarsonemus, Daidalotarsonemus and Excelsotarsonemus are similar mainly by having some dorsal idiosomal setae enlarged (either greatly elongated and barbed, or thickened and lanceolate). Lindquist (1986) stated that both sexes of Ceratotarsonemus are distinctive in having setae c2 coarsely barbed and at least moderately elongated, in retaining only one genual setae on leg III, and consistently lacking tibial solenidion ��2 on leg I. In Daidalotarsonemus and Excelsotarsonemus females the setae c 2 may be either slender or leaf-shaped, 2-3 setae are present on genu III, and tibial solenidion ��2 is present on leg I., Published as part of Rezende, Jos�� Marcos, Lofego, Antonio Carlos, Gulbronson, Connor, Bauchan, Gary & Ochoa, Ronald, 2018, Review of the genus Ceratotarsonemus De Leon, 1956 (Acari: Prostigmata: Tarsonemidae), with description of a new species from the Amazon Forest, pp. 271-294 in Zootaxa 4483 (2) on pages 273-274, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4483.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/1437673, {"references":["De Leon, D.

Amblydromalus insolitus Nuvoloni & Lofego n. sp. (Figs 1���7) Diagnosis. This new species is close to others in the limonicus species group, due to the ratio between the length of Z 4 and the distance between their bases (Fig. 1), although this species is remarkably different from all Amblydromalus spp. due to the dorsal shield being covered mainly by roundish ornamentation, with anterolateral striae. The ornamentation is quite distinct in the central region, becoming more scattered posteriad of J 2, and toward the shield borders. Specimens examined. Holotype female and one paratype female collected from H. brasiliensis, clone FDR 5788, from Igrapi��na, Bahia, Brazil, (13 �� 48 'S, 39 �� 10 'W) 8 August 2012, E.B. Castro coll.; five female and two male paratypes collected from H. brasiliensis, clone PMB 0 1, 8 August 2012, E.B. Castro coll. All specimens are deposited at DZSJRP. Etymology. The specific name insolitus refers to the unusual pattern of ornamentation on the dorsal shield compared with other Amblydromalus species. Description. Female (n= 7) (Figs 1���5). Dorsum. Dorsal shield covered mainly by roundish ornamentation, with a few anterolateral striae to the level of s 4, 300 [304] (295���315) long and 175 [186] (175���192) wide at level of s 4; five pairs of pores and seven pairs of lyrifissures visible.

In contrast to other species of Amblydromalus, the dorsal shield of this new species is distinct reticulated, resembling many Typhlodromalus species as reported by Chant & McMurtry (2005 a). However this species fits the genus Ambydromalus by having the ratio of setae s 4:Z 1> 3.0: 1:0, j 3, s 4 and Z 5 longer than other dorsal setae, dorsal setae smooth, Z 4 not longer than distance to S 4, and absence of an indentation of the dorsal shield at the level of seta S 5 (such as in Typhlodromalus). Furthermore, the length and proportions of setae seem more conservative in phytoseiid groups than dorsal reticulations, and it has been a useful feature to separate groups (Chant & McMurtry, 2007). According to Chant & McMurtry (2005) the setal ratio s 4:Z 1> 3.0: 1:0 is a diagnostic feature for the classification of phytoseiids in the subtribe Thyphlodromalina, and consequently as Amblydromalus. Considering these facts, we believe that the new species fits better in Amblydromalus than Typhlodromalus., Published as part of Nuvoloni, Felipe Micali, Lofego, Antonio Carlos, Castro, Elizeu Barbosa & Feres, Reinaldo Jos�� Fazzio, 2015, Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) from rubber tree crops in the State of Bahia, Brazil, with description of two new species, pp. 260-274 in Zootaxa 3964 (2) on pages 262-264, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3964.2.6, http://zenodo.org/record/239742, {"references":["Chant, D.

Typhlodromips paramilus Nuvoloni & Lofego n. sp. (Figs 8���16) Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the lugubris species group, characterised by Chant & McMurtry (2005 b) as having the spermatheca funnel-shaped. It is similar to T. furcus Lofego et al. (2011) by having the spermatodactyl bifurcate, leg macrosetae with knobbed-tips, and the spermatheca funnel-shaped. It also resembles T. amilus De Leon (1967) due to the dorsal shield reticulation, and similar length of the dorsal setae. Otherwise, the new species is distinguished from T. furcus by having dorsal shield strongly reticulated, setae s 4, S 2, Z 4 and Z 5 with knobbedtips and the spermatodactyl ending in a terminal hook. Typhlodromips paramilus n. sp. differs from T. amilus by having the calyx of spermatheca about one-half to one-third shorter, the atrium more prominent, and the ventri-anal shield pentagonal instead of sub-triangular as in T. amilus. Specimens examined. Holotype female and paratype male collected from Hevea brasiliensis, clone PMB 0 1, from Igrapi��na, Bahia, Brazil, (13 �� 48 'S, 39 �� 10 'W), 8 August 2008, E.B. Castro coll.; three paratype females from H. brasiliensis, clone FDR 5788, 8 August 2008, E.B. Castro coll.; one paratype female collected from Hevea brasiliensis, clone PMB 0 1, 8 August 2008, F.M. Nuvoloni coll.; all specimens were deposited at DZSJRP. Etymology. The name paramilus was designated due to the similarity between the new species and Typhlodromips amilus. Description. Female (n= 6) (Figs 8���12). Dorsum. Dorsal shield mostly reticulate, with lateral striation anteriad of S 4, and light striation on transversal band posteriad of S 4 and Z 4, 307 [313] (300���332) long and 175 [185] (175���200) wide at level of s 4; seven pairs of pores and 13 pairs of lyrifissures visible.
