Genus Pentachares Li & Guo gen. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 080C87A4-FFE2-459E-AC36-6A414126B7F0 Type species Pentachares sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov. Etymology Five-segmented palp is the main diagnosis feature of this new genus. ���Pent-��� means five, just represents the five segments of palp in this new genus. Diagnosis Characters of Rhyncholimnocharinae; palp five-segmented, P-V attached to the middle surface, rather than the distal end of P-IV; dorsalia absent; without swimming setae on legs. Habitat Same as subfamily. Distribution Oriental realm. Remarks The new genus presents the diagnostic features of both two subfamilies in Limnocharidae: a long tube of protrusible integument proves that it belongs to Rhyncholimnocharinae, meanwhile the palp with five segments indicates it is from Limnocharinae. The phylogenetic value of the palp-fused as a character has been questioned (Cook 1974; Gerecke et al. 2020). Therefore, we arrange the new genus in Rhyncholimnocharinae, according to the feature of a tubular extension of integument., Published as part of Jin, Dao-Chao & Guo, Jian-Jun, 2022, Contributions to the knowledge of Eylaoidea (Acari: Hydrachnidiae) from China, pp. 53-70 in European Journal of Taxonomy 787 (1) on page 61, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.787.1613, http://zenodo.org/record/5817957, {"references":["Cook D.

Remarks Eylais (M.) hamata is widely distributed all over the world (Piersig 1897 ���1900; Halbert 1903; Sezek & ��zkan 2000). Lundblad (1936) had reported this species from Northwest China, while the previous descriptions were relatively simple (Uchida & Imamura 1951). Current specimens, which were also collected from Northwest China (Qinghaihu National Nature Reserve), are similar with the description mentioned above, especially their eye plate, which is considered as the most distinguishing feature. The only difference with the Turkish population is the body size: males ranging from 1859 to 2539, females ranging from 1725 to 1824 in our specimens, but with the Turkish population, 2250 for the male and 4200 for the female (Sezek & ��zkan 2000). This problem can be interpreted by Lanciani (1969, 1970) that the size of newly emerged eylaid mites could increase continuously in both sexes, even during their adult stages, and the gravid females could grow twice as long. In summary, we attribute our specimens to E. (M.) hamata., Published as part of Jin, Dao-Chao & Guo, Jian-Jun, 2022, Contributions to the knowledge of Eylaoidea (Acari: Hydrachnidiae) from China, pp. 53-70 in European Journal of Taxonomy 787 (1) on pages 55-59, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.787.1613, http://zenodo.org/record/5817957, {"references":["Piersig R. 1897 - 1900.

Genus Pentachares Li & Guo gen. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 080C87A4-FFE2-459E-AC36-6A414126B7F0 Type species Pentachares sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov. Etymology Five-segmented palp is the main diagnosis feature of this new genus. “Pent-” means five, just represents the five segments of palp in this new genus. Diagnosis Characters of Rhyncholimnocharinae; palp five-segmented, P-V attached to the middle surface, rather than the distal end of P-IV; dorsalia absent; without swimming setae on legs. Habitat Same as subfamily. Distribution Oriental realm. Remarks The new genus presents the diagnostic features of both two subfamilies in Limnocharidae: a long tube of protrusible integument proves that it belongs to Rhyncholimnocharinae, meanwhile the palp with five segments indicates it is from Limnocharinae. The phylogenetic value of the palp-fused as a character has been questioned (Cook 1974; Gerecke et al. 2020). Therefore, we arrange the new genus in Rhyncholimnocharinae, according to the feature of a tubular extension of integument.

Subfamily Rhyncholimnocharinae Lundblad, 1936 Rhyncholimnocharinae Lundblad, 1936: 203. Rhyncholimnocharinae ��� Cook 1974: 41. ��� Viets 1987: 679. Diagnosis (after Cook 1974, modified) Character of the family Limnocharidae; gnathosoma attached to a long tubular extension of integument; palp segments 3 (but terminal segment may be greatly reduced giving the appearance of a two-segmented palp), occasionally 2, 4 or 5; dorsum with or without paired sclerites (Tuzovskij & Gerecke 2020). Habitat Running waters (sediment of organic detritus, dead wood and leaf litter of pools, or in mosses at stronger flow velocity). Distribution Nearctic, Neotropical, Australian and Oriental realm. Remarks There are a total of 24 species in this subfamily including the new species herein described (Tuzovskij & Gerecke 2020). Most species have a three-segmented palp, while Rhyncholimnochares tapiarum Tuzovskij & Gerecke, 2020 presents a two-segmented palp and R. expansiseta Cook, 1980 shows the phenomenon of its dorsal and ventral edges of P-I merged with the second segment (Tuzovskij & Gerecke 2020). The palp of Austrolimnochares womersleyi (Lundblad, 1952) has 4 or occasionally 3 segments (Harvey 1990). The new genus Pentachares Li & Guo gen. nov. established herein presents a five-segmented palp without any fusion. So, we modified the previous diagnosis., Published as part of Jin, Dao-Chao & Guo, Jian-Jun, 2022, Contributions to the knowledge of Eylaoidea (Acari: Hydrachnidiae) from China, pp. 53-70 in European Journal of Taxonomy 787 (1) on pages 60-61, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.787.1613, http://zenodo.org/record/5817957, {"references":["Lundblad O. 1936.

Remarks Pentachares sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov. with five-segmented palp is clearly distinguished from other species of the subfamily Rhyncholimnocharinae, but similar to Laterolimnochares huangshanensis Jin, 1999 and Limnochares spinosa Smit & Pesic, 2014. Pentachares sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov. differs from La. huangshanensis in the following aspects: 1) with a protrusible tube of soft integument in P. sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov., while without in La. huangshanensis; 2) body color amber in P. sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov., while pink in La. huangshanensis; 3) O 1 rod-shaped in P. sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov., while pectinate in La. huangshanensis; 4) terminal heavy seta of P-V smooth in P. sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov., while feathered in La. huangshanensis; and 5) the setae on coxae short in P. sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov., but long in La. huangshanensis. Pentachares sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov. differs from Li. spinosa: 1) with a protrusible tube of soft integument in P. sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov., while without in Li. spinosa; 2) O 1 and O 2 not smooth in P. sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov., but smooth in Li. spinosa; 3) terminal heavy seta of P-IV smooth in P. sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov., but feathered in Li. spinosa; and 4) the number of acetabula 50���60 in P. sinensis Li & Guo gen. et sp. nov., while only 40���50 in Li. spinosa.

The subgenus Antennoseius (Vitzthumia) Thor, 1930 is recorded from China for the first time by description of a new species, Antennoseius (Vitzthumia) heterochaetus Long and Yi n. sp. that was collected from leaf litter of subtropical forest in Sichuan Province, China. The new species can be distinguished from other members of the subgenus by podonotal shield with four pairs of spur-like setae (j2–j4, z2), j1 short and barbed distally, setae av1 on trochanters III and IV slightly swollen with fine distal tip. The holotype of Antennoseius ningxiaensis Bai and Ma, 2006 was examined and because the leg I avoid pretarsus and claws and also tibia III bear eight setae, the species distinguished as a member of the subgenus Antennoseius (Antennoseius). A key to Chinese species of the genus Antennoseius is given., Acarologia, 61, 46-54

Genus Cornigamasus Evans & Till, 1979 Type species: Gamasus coleoptratorum var. lunaris Berlese, 1882 Diagnosis. Female and deutonymph with separated podonotal and opisthonotal shields, male with holodorsal shield, a transverse suture in central region. Setae z5 of dorsal hexagon markedly different in form from j5 and j6, usually thick, long and pilose distally. Tritosternum of female and deutonymph normal, but absent or biramous in male, if biramous, base reduced. Metasternal shields in female separated from sternal shield by an oblique suture. Genital shield of female triangular. Opisthogaster with rarely more than 15 pairs of setae. Seta al of palp femur setose, spiculate or rod-shaped, setae al1 and al2 of palp genu spatulate distally. Corniculi long and parallel, extending beyond anterior margin of palp trochanter, grooved to accommodate ���salivary��� styli. Legs without spurs except for leg II of male. Notes. The diagnosis of Cornigamasus is based on the definition by Hyatt (1980). The most important difference is that the tritosternum of the male, which is absent in known species (Hyatt 1980; Ma 1986; Skorupski & Witaliński 1997), is biramous with a degenerated base in C. allotritosternus sp. nov..

Remarks By having a laterally compressed, apically serrated and spine-like ventrodistal extension on P-2, and one very short seta laterally at the base of extension, this new species is similar to T. borneoensis Pe��ić & Smit, 2014 (Pe��ić & Smit 2014). But there are obvious differences: dorsal plate arrangement is 4+ 1 in T. spinextension (2+ 1 in T. borneoensis); ventral extension of P-3 is smooth in T. spinextension (serrate in T. borneoensis); two ventral extensions on P-4 are close to each other in T. spinextension (markedly apart from each other in T. borneoensis)., Published as part of Gu, Xin-Yao, Jin, Dao-Chao & Guo, Jian-Jun, 2020, Three new species and one new record of Torrenticolidae (Acari, Hydrachnidia) from Wuyishan with an updated key for Chinese fauna, pp. 1-23 in European Journal of Taxonomy 625 on pages 7-11, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2020.625, http://zenodo.org/record/3750775, {"references":["Pesic V. & Smit H. 2014.

Distribution China (Wuyishan). Habitat Streamlet. Remarks The new species, Torrenticola suptilisrostrum sp. nov., is similar to T. fagei E. Angelier, 1949 (Martin 2009). The new species shares the character of an infracapitular rostrum extremely slender and slightly curved towards the dorsum with T. fagei. However, T. suptilisrostrum sp. nov. differs from the latter by E 4 on the same line with the 4 th pair of acetabula (5 th in T. fagei); dorsal plate 2+2p+1 (dorsal plate 4+ 1 in T. fagei); P-2 robust and compact (P-2 relatively thin and long in T. fagei)., Published as part of Gu, Xin-Yao, Jin, Dao-Chao & Guo, Jian-Jun, 2020, Three new species and one new record of Torrenticolidae (Acari, Hydrachnidia) from Wuyishan with an updated key for Chinese fauna, pp. 1-23 in European Journal of Taxonomy 625 on pages 3-7, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2020.625, http://zenodo.org/record/3750775, {"references":["Martin P.

Representatives of the subgenus Zaracarus are arranged into five species groups (Table 2). The subdivision might be artificial but is adopted here because of relatively reasonable morphological basis and convenience for classification at the species level. Erythraeus (Zaracarus) hainanensis sp. nov. belongs to the species groups having AL with swelling or slightly swelling near bases and fn Bfe 3-3-3. This group includes 11 species: E. (Z.) lancifer Southcott, 1995; E. (Z.) fabiolae Haitlinger, 1997; E. (Z.) rajabii Saboori, 2000; E. (Z.) longipedus Saboori & Nowzari, 2001; E. (Z.) sibuljinicus Haitlinger, 2004; E.

E. (Z.) hainanensis sp. nov. differs from E. (Z.) fabiolae in having the greater number of palptarsus setae including solenidion and eupathidium (8 vs. 7), and NDV (60–62 vs. 38). E. (Z.) hainanensis sp. nov. differs from E. (Z.) rajabii as follows: on Ta I and Ta, eupathidium has one companion seta (vs. companion setae absent on both segments); Ta I and Ta II each with two eupathidia, respectively (vs. each with one eupathidium). ...Continued on the next page ...Continued on the next page ...Continued on the next page * All lengths excluding coxa Metric data for E.

(Z.) longipedus as follows: on Ta I and Ta, eupathidium has one companion seta (vs. companion setae absent on both segments); the greater number of fD (40–44 vs. 30) and fV (18–20 vs. 8). E. (Z.) hainanensis sp. nov. differs from E. (Z.) sibuljinicus as follows: shape of scutum is a transverse oval (vs. trapezoid); eyes are off platelet (vs. on platelet); the greater number of fD (40–44 vs. 24) and fV (18–20 vs. 13). E. (Z.) hainanensis sp. nov. differs from E. (Z.) aydinicus as follows: the greater number of palptarsus setae including solenidion and eupathidium (8 vs. 7), fD (40–44 vs. 31) and NDV (60–62 vs. 43).

(2009), Mayoral & Barranco (2008), Saboori (2000), Saboori & Nowzari (2001), Saboori et al. (2004), Southcott (1995). E. (Z.) hainanensis sp. nov. differs from E. (Z.) adrianicus by more fD (40–44 vs. 28); eyes not on platelet (vs. on platelet). Differences in measurements between the new species and all species compared above are in Table 5. In the key to species of the subgenus Erythraeus s. str. of the world presented by Šundić et al. (2015b) (for species known from larvae), six species, E. (E.) albanicus Haitlinger, 2012, E.

Holotype, larva, unidentified treehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae), collector XIN-FENG ZHANG, 24 April 2009, Bawangling National Natural Reserve, Hainan Province, China. Paratypes: one larva, the same data as the holotype; one larva, ex unidentified delphacid planthoppers (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), collector XIN-FENG ZHANG, 22 April 2009, Datian National Natural Reserve, Hainan Province, China. The holotype and all paratypes are deposited in Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, China (GUGC) (Zhang 2018). Remarks. Representatives of the subgenus Zaracarus are arranged into five species groups (Table 2). The subdivision might be artificial but is adopted here because of relatively reasonable morphological basis and convenience for classification at the species level. Erythraeus (Zaracarus) hainanensis sp. nov. belongs to the species groups having AL with swelling or slightly swelling near bases and fn Bfe 3-3-3. This group includes 11 species: E. (Z.) lancifer Southcott, 1995; E. (Z.) fabiolae Haitlinger, 1997; E. (Z.) rajabii Saboori, 2000; E. (Z.) longipedus Saboori & Nowzari, 2001; E. (Z.) sibuljinicus Haitlinger, 2004; E.

(Z.) longipedus as follows: on Ta I and Ta, eupathidium has one companion seta (vs. companion setae absent on both segments); the greater number of fD (40–44 vs. 30) and fV (18–20 vs. 8). E. (Z.) hainanensis sp. nov. differs from E. (Z.) sibuljinicus as follows: shape of scutum is a transverse oval (vs. trapezoid); eyes are off platelet (vs. on platelet); the greater number of fD (40–44 vs. 24) and fV (18–20 vs. 13). E. (Z.) hainanensis sp. nov. differs from E. (Z.) aydinicus as follows: the greater number of palptarsus setae including solenidion and eupathidium (8 vs. 7), fD (40–44 vs. 31) and NDV (60–62 vs. 43).

(2009), Mayoral & Barranco (2008), Saboori (2000), Saboori & Nowzari (2001), Saboori et al. (2004), Southcott (1995). E. (Z.) hainanensis sp. nov. differs from E. (Z.) adrianicus by more fD (40–44 vs. 28); eyes not on platelet (vs. on platelet). Differences in measurements between the new species and all species compared above are in Table 5. In the key to species of the subgenus Erythraeus s. str. of the world presented by Šundić et al. (2015b) (for species known from larvae), six species, E. (E.) albanicus Haitlinger, 2012, E. (E.) chrysoperlae Khanjani, Mirmoayedi, Fayaz & Sharifian, 2012, E. (E.) layyahensis Kamran, Afzal & Bashir, 2013, E. (E.) nipponicus Kawashima, 1961, E. (E.) populi Khanjani, Mirmoayedi, Fayaz & Sharifian, 2012 and E. (E.) uhadi Kamran & Alatawi, 2014, were missed. In this paper, we have added all these species, except E. (E.) nipponicus, because we were not able to find the original description. One more species described several years ago, E. (E.) pistacicus Haitlinger, Mehrnejad & Šundić, 2016, is also added to the updated identification key.

Caeculisoma Berlese, 1888 Type species: Caeculisoma tuberculatum Berlese, 1888 Amended diagnosis. Larva: One eye on each side. Dorsal scutum generally rounded, but anterior margin maybe convex, concave, straight, or sinuous. ASE usually between ML and PL scutulae, sometimes level with PL (C. penlineatus sp. nov.). PL at mid-point or in posterior half of scutum, PSE at posterior edge of scutum. Three pairs of normal setae (scutalae) with fine barbs on scutum. Ventral setae: paired sternalae I between coxae I; paired sternalae II between coxae II; one or two pairs of sternalae III between coxae III. Pedocoxalae 1, 2, 2. Pedotrochanteralae 1, 1, 1. Pedal tarsus with lateral claws dissimilar. Claw-like empodium falciform, overreaching the lateral claws.Anterior claw strong, falciform, simple or with few ciliations. Posterior claw pulvilliform with strong terminal hook. Palpal tibial claw bifurcate. Remarks. The diagnosis for larvae of Caeculisoma is based on Southcott (1972). The most important difference is the location of anterior sensilla (ASE) in the genus, which Southcott (1972) used to separate Callidosoma (ASE anterior to ML) and Caeculisoma (ASE posterior to ML). Southcott���s diagnosis for Caeculisoma is generally applicable to C. penlineatus sp. nov., but ASE is so far posterior that it is level with ML, and thus the genus diagnosis is modified accordingly. Other differences and similarities among Caeculisoma and related genera with three pairs of scutalae in larval Callidosomatinae are also compared in Table 1. The position of the ML scutulae may cause us to reclassify the monotypic genus Iguatonia Haitlinger, 2004 as a species of Caeculisoma. However, in this genus the position of the scutal setae are unusual, with all three pairs of scutulae in the anterior half of the scutum and ASE very close to PSE. Nevertheless, a broader study of the Callidosomatinae is required to assess generic boundaries as, based on our study, the position of scutal setae may be graded so finely between species that genera are no longer easily defined., Published as part of Xu, Si-Yuan, Yi, Tian-Ci, Guo, Jian-Jun & Jin, Dao-Chao, 2019, A new species of larval Caeculisoma (Acari: Erythraeidae: Callidosomatinae) ectoparasitic on insects from China and a revised generic diagnosis, pp. 511-524 in Zootaxa 4604 (3) on page 512, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4604.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/2852713, {"references":["Southcott, R.
