Xenotarsonemus spiniphorus Lofego, Moraes & Ochoa Xenotarsonemus spiniphorus Lofego, Moraes & Ochoa, 2007: 11. Specimens examined: Cananéia (SP): Gomidesia sp., VII-2012 (19 ♀, 1 ♂); Blefarocalix salicifolium, I-2013 (2 ♀). Previous reports: São Paulo —Natural ecosystems (Cerrado): Campomanesia pubescens and Myrcia venulosa (Lofego et al. 2007); Natural ecosystems (Atlantic Forest): Trichillia casaretti (Demite et al. 2013) and on plant not mentioned (Demite et al. 2012). Among the 14 species nominally determined in this study, seven of these (F. pulvirosus, M, megassolenidii, T. bilobatus, T. confusus, X. brachytegula, X. cerrado and X. spniphorus) were also found in the Cerrado biome (Lofego & Moraes, 2006; Demite et al. 2009; Rezende et al. 2014). This similarity between the tarsonemids fauna in these two biomes is an unexpected fact, since they are structurally quite different biomes; the Atlantic Forest is a tropical forest, and the Cerrado is a savanna (IBGE 2012). The remaining vegetation of the Atlantic Forest shelters a great diversity of tarsonemids, many still new to science. In the present study, the sampling was only a small portion of the entire diversity of the Atlantic Forest (eight sampling areas, with only five plant species from the same family were sampled at each area) and a considerable richness of tarsonemids species was found. In this study, of the identified species, six (40%) were unknown until recently to science (D. esalqi, K. ochoai, M. caissara, O. dux, X. quiriri, X. scorpius) (Lofego et al. 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, Rezende et al. 2015b), in addition to the one described here (Tarsonemus conduru Lofego & Cavalcante sp. nov.). A great richness of tarsonemid was also recorded in the Atlantic Forest biome by Demite et al. (2012), in a more restricted area in the interior of the São Paulo state, but with a larger sampling, where 100 plant species from several botanical families were collected in 18 areas. In that study, Tarsonemidae was the second family with the highest richness (47 species). The data from the present study reveal the impressive richness of the family Tarsonemidae in the Atlantic Forest; and indicate how much further efforts are needed to better understand the diversity in this hotspot., Published as part of Demite, Peterson R., Cavalcante, Ana C.

Differential diagnosis: The new species resembles Tarsonemus stammeri Schaarschmidt in having median lobes on the posterior margin of the prodorsal shield and short setae on shields C, D, EF and H (less than 20 µm). However, that species differs from the new species here described by the elongate pharynx, sejugal apodeme well sclerotized throughout, prosternal apodema sclerotized only anteriad of apodeme 2, and dorsal seta d about 20 μm long. Remarks: Nothing is known about the biology or ecology of this new species. Larva and Male: Unknown Etymology: The specific designation refers to the type locality “Serra do Conduru” (Conduru ridge)., Published as part of Demite, Peterson R., Cavalcante, Ana C.

The redescription of this species provided by Castilho et al. (2012b) added to the original description, which did not provide sufficient morphological details. However, many setae of the holotype are broken, and thus their measurements could not be provided in the redescription by Castilho et al. (2012b). The measurements of this publication are similar to those reported by their redescription for the available setae in the holotype. Castilho et al. (2012b) reported the presence of three teeth on the movable cheliceral digit, and the absence of S5 and presence of R 1 in the redescription of the species based on their examination of the holotype. Also, information about the spermatheca could not be provided by Castilho et al. (2012b), and it is here provided for the first time., Published as part of Melo-Molina, Elsa L., Santos, Jandir C., De Moraes, Gilberto J. & Castilho, Raphael C., 2021, Gamasiphis species (Acari: Mesostigmata: Ologamasidae) from Ecuador, with description of a new species and new records, pp. 410-418 in Zootaxa 5068 (3) on pages 413-416, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5068.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/5707004, {"references":["Karg, W.

All legs with pretarsi, with elongate ambulacral stalk and a pair of strongly sclerotised claws. Etymology. The species is named in honor of the daughter of the first author, Victoria Eugenia Martinez (Vikki). Remarks. Gamasiphis vikkiae Melo-Molina & Santos n. sp. is most similar to G. adanalis Karg, 1990, but the latter has 20 pairs of setae on the podonotal region (s1 absent and only three pairs of r setae); 12 pairs of setae on the opisthonotal region; the dorsal setae ranging between 15-20 long; setae j2, j3, j4, j5, z3 and Z1 at most 0.6 times as long as distance to the base of the respective subsequent setae. In the key to Gamasiphis species provided by Castilho et al. (2012b), couplet 52 (page 1993) would require the following adjustment for inclusion of this new species: 52.

Podonotal and opisthonotal regions of dorsal shield with 22 and 15 pairs of setae, respectively; dorsal shield setae leaf-shaped, except z 1, s 1, s 2 and J 5, aciculate; unsclerotised cuticle along lateral margins of dorsal shield with eight pairs of aciculate setae (r 6, R 1– R 6 and UR 4); presternal area unsclerotised; ventrianal shield with seven pairs of setae (Jv 1– Jv 5, Zv 2 and Zv 3) in addition to the circumanal setae; and unsclerotised cuticle of opisthogaster with one pair of setae (Zv 1).

Neoparaphytoseius Chant & McMurtry is a genus in the family Phytoseiidae, subfamily Amblyseiinae. The genus includes only two known species from Brazil and Peru, and the third is described here. Neoparaphytoseius caatinga n. sp. is described from the Caatinga biome of Alagoas State, where it was found on Croton blanchetianus Baill (Euphorbiaceae). The new species is compared with the closely related species, Neoparaphytoseius charapa Jiménez, McMurtry & Moraes, and N. sooretamus (El-Banhawy). An identification key for the species of this genus is provided, based on the examination of the type specimens.
