Xenotarsonemus brachytegula Lofego, Moraes & Ochoa Xenotarsonemus brachytegula Lofego, Moraes & Ochoa, 2007: 2. Specimens examined: Prados (MG): Campomanesia pubescens, VI-2012 (16 ♀, 5 ♂), XII-2012 (1 ♀, 1 ♂), M. tomentosa, XII-2012 (2 ♀). Previous reports: São Paulo —Natural ecosystems (Cerrado): C. pubescens, Luehea speciosa Willd. (Malvaceae), Olyra sp. (Poaceae) (Lofego et al. 2007); Natural ecosystems (Atlantic Forest): A. klotzschii and T. casaretti (Demite et al. 2013, 2015; cited as A. communis).

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.

A new species, Metatarsonemus caissara Lofego & Cavalcante sp. nov., is described based on females and males collected on Eugenia umbelliflora O. Berg. (Myrtaceae) from Atlantic Forest areas of São Paulo State, Brazil. Metatarsonemus Attiah is reinstated as a genus based on apomorphic attributes which are recovered through examination of specimens of the new species herein described, in addition to specimens of M. simplicissimus Attiah and M. megasolenidii Lofego & Ochoa. A cladistic analysis tentatively indicates that the Metatarsonemus lineage is sister group to a lineage comprising the genera complex Daidalotarsonemus+Ceratotarsonemus+Excelsotarsonemus in sharing four homoplasious apomorphic attributes. A dichotomous key is provided for identification of the species of this genus described so far.

Deposited at the mite reference collection of Departamento de Zoologia e Botânica da Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, Brazil. Etymology: This species is named in honour of the late James A. McMurtry, eminent acarologist, specialist on biological control of pests by phytoseiid mites, and leading phytoseiid taxonomist. Modified characterisation of Honduriella. Taking into account the new species here described and our examination of the holotype of H. maxima, this genus is considered to have the following characteristics. Adult female. Idiosomal setal pattern: 10A:9B/JV-3:ZV. Dorsal shield smooth, except for lateral striae anteriad of S2 –S4, over 400 µm long, with Z4 longer than Z5; s4 also long, seemingly longer than Z4; j1 much shorter, but longer than distance between its base and the base of the same seta on the opposite side; other dorsal shield setae shorter (less than half as long as distance to seta immediately behind); r3 about 3–4 times as long as R1, both on unsclerotised cuticle. Sternal and genital shields lightly reticulate over most of their extent, smooth centrally; sternal shield about as long as wide; st4 on metasternal plate; genital shield rounded behind insertion of st5; anal shield smooth, pyriform, bearing only circumanal setae; with seven pairs of opisthogastric setae (JV1, JV2, JV4, JV5, ZV1–ZV3) on integument surrounding anal shield; pre-anal pores distinct. All idiosomatic setae sharp tipped and smooth, except Z4 and Z5 are lightly serrate. Peritreme extending anteriorly beyond level j1. Fixed cheliceral digit with at least 17 teeth and setiform pilus dentilis; movable digit with 3–7 teeth, in addition to apical tooth. Genu II with nine and genu III with seven setae (respectively 2 2/1 2/1 1 and 1 2/1 2/0 1). Macrosetae smooth and sharp-tipped, present on genua of all legs, tibiae of legs III and IV and tarsus of leg IV. Spermatheca with calyx cup-shaped and atrium discrete. Adult male. Setae r3 and R1 on dorsal shield. Sternogenital and ventrianal shields reticulate. Ventrianal shield with five pairs of pre-anal setae (JV1, JV2, JV4, ZV2 and ZV3) and one pair of pores. Spermatodactyl L-shaped. Other characteristics similar to adult female.

Genital shield rounded behind st 5. A pair of prominent pores inserted in a platelet posteromesad of JV2, apparently a remnant of the ventral shield. Anal shield smooth, 94 long and 74 wide. Seta JV5 81. Opisthogastric integument with two pairs of metapodal plates. Chelicera: fixed digit 42, with 17/19 teeth in addition to apical tooth; movable digit 48 long, with three teeth in addition to apical tooth. Spermatheca (Fig. 3): cup-shaped calyx, 9 long. Legs (Fig. 4): macrosetal lengths: SgeI 63, SgeII 61, SgeIII 84, StiIII 63, SgeIV 128, StiIV 120, StIV 220. Remarks. The information provided here complements the original description of the species, which did not include measurements of some setae (JV 5, SgeI -III and StiIII), the number of lyrifissures (poroids) on the dorsal shield, and the number of teeth of the movable cheliceral digit. Differences between information provided in the original description and as observed in our examination of the holotype refer mainly to the quadrate shape of the sternal shield (much longer than wide in the original description), and the length of the macrosetae on the genu (128), tibia (120) and tarsus (220) of leg IV (in original description: 112, 102 and 206, respectively). Detailed illustrations of the reticulation of the sternal and genital shields, and of the spermatheca are also provided.

Until now, Honduriella Denmark & Evans has been known only from the holotype of its type species, Honduriella maxima Denmark & Evans. In recent surveys conducted in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, a second species of this genus was found. It is here described as Honduriella mcmurtryi Demite n. sp., based on morphological characteristics of adult females and males. Honduriella maxima is redescribed based on an examination of the holotype. In order to accommodate the new species, a modified characterisation of Honduriella is given.

Until recently, species of the families Ascidae Voigts & Oudemans, Blattisociidae Garman and Melicharidae Hirschmann were considered to belong to a single family, Ascidae, based on their similarity in external morphology. Databases on the distribution and biology of species in those families have been collected are now freely available. This information allows the first zoogeographic analysis of these groups. Almost 2200 records obtained from about 820 publications were entered into the databases, which are periodically updated. The countries with the highest known diversity of mites of these groups are: Ascidae—Russia (56), United States of America (42), China (37) and Poland (36); Blattisociidae—China (47), United States of America (41), Ecuador (38), India (33) and Poland (32); Melicharidae—United States of America (46), Brazil (23), Ecuador (20) and Poland and Germany (15). No species of these families have been reported from about 44% of the countries, most probably because of inadequate sampling effort. Comparing the species composition of the different regions, Jaccard similarity indexes were low, being higher between the Palaearctic and Saharo-Arabian regions for the ascids (0.15), between the same regions for the blattisociids (0.19) and between the Neotropical and Panamanian regions for the melicharids (0.18). These data are compatible with the results of parsimony analyses of endemicity (PAE), in which those pairs of regions constituted distinct clades. The analyses suggest that Ascidae probably originated in the Palaearctic region, whereas Blattisociidae and Melicharidae probably originated somewhere in the Neotropical or Panamanian regions.

Etymology. The name imparisetosus refers to the presence of unpaired setae in the dorsal shield. Remarks. The identification of some dorsal shield setae in this study is provisional, because of their unique position within the phytoseiids. One of the uncertainties refers to the identity of the seta called x in this paper. Is that a podonotal or opisthonotal seta? That seta, observed in the examined deutonymphs and adult females, could actually correspond to J1. Supportive of this interpretation is the absence of this seta in some specimens and the occurrence of two x setae in one of the specimens collected. The very anteriad position of x in relation to what would be expected for the normal position of J1 argues against that interpretation. Also against this interpretation is the fact that in Ascidae sensu Lindquist & Evans (1963), a group taxonomically close to the phytoseiids (see Lindquist et al., 2009 and Famah-Sourassou et al., 2015), J1 normally first appears in the protonymphal stage, whereas in the taxon here described it appeared only in the deutonymphal stage. Thus, we could conclude that the most anterior unpaired seta is podonotal, occupying the same location as the unpaired podonotal setae found in Spadiseius calyptrogynae Lindquist & Moraza (Melicharidae) (Lindquist & Moraza, 2008). The fact that this seta is not found in Spadiseius spathiphyllae Lindquist & Moraza suggests its instability in different species of that genus (and perhaps in the genus here described). Alternatively, if that seta is really J1, it would be necessary to argue that the strong lateral compression of the dorsal shield caused disturbance to the normal chaetotactic pattern, leading to the appearance of J 1 in the deutonymphal rather than in the protonymphal stage. The tendency towards evolutionary loss of J1 could also explain its instability in the deutonymph and adult. It could be argued that the seta interpreted as S 2 in this work is actually S3, because of the position. A point against that interpretation is that S3 has never been reported for phytoseiids. Its first appearance in the deutonymphal stage makes its identification more difficult because in Ascidae sensu Lindquist & Evans (1965) S2 first appear in the protonymphal stage, whereas S3 first appear in the larval stage. The actual absence of S5 is supported by the fact that the usual position of this seta is posterolaterad of the pore located anterolaterally of Z5 (idm5 of Athias-Henriot, 1969). Wide variation is observed among Amazoniaseius imparisetosus n. sp. specimens in relation to the absence of some opisthonotal setae (all of which inserted behind J2): X in five specimens, one J 5 in two specimens, X and one J 5 in one specimen, one S 4 in two specimens, one Z 4 in three specimens, and one Z4 and one S 4 in one specimen. Intra-specific variations as presence or absence of setae, place of insertion of setae, lengths of setae etc., have been reported for other species (e.g. Kolodochka, 1995; Demite et al., 2008; Toyoshima & Amano, 2013; Tixier et al., 2016). The idiosomal setal pattern of the new taxon here described has never been reported in Phytoseiidae. On the ventral surface of the idiosoma, the absence of all ZV setae has not been previously reported. Thus, our interpretation of the dorsal idiosomal setae in the new taxa here described leads us to propose a new setal pattern for the phytoseiids: 13A+x:8F+X/JV-3,4:ZV-1–3.

Amazoniaseius new genus Demite, Cruz & McMurtry Diagnosis. Protonymphs, deutonymphs and adult females with dorsal idiosomal setae long, distinctly barbed in adults (but slightly barbed in nymphal stages), dorsal shield narrowed, J5 relatively long (over twice as long as distance J5���J5); fixed cheliceral digit with few teeth. Deutonymphs and adult females with an unpaired seta immediately behind j6 (x) and another immediately behind J2 (X); z3, z6, s6, J4 present; macrosetae present only on genu, tibia and tarsus of leg IV; Z1, S5, JV3, JV4, ZV1���ZV3 absent; anal shield with a pair of small pores on anterolateral margins. Adult female. Dorsum of idiosoma with 21 pairs of setae (j1, j3���j6, J2, J4, J5, z2���z6, Z4, Z5, s4, s6, S2, S4, r3, R1) and two unpaired setae (x and X). Setae J5 and S2 displaced respectively anteriad and posteriad of their usual position. Dorsal shield strongly narrowed. Ventral shields distinct. Sternal shield with three pairs of setae and two pairs of lyrifissures. Seta st 4 set on metasternal plate. Posterior margin of genital shield broadly rounded. Anal shield ovoid, with a pair of pores on anterolateral margins. With three pairs of opisthogastric setae (JV1, JV2 and JV5; all on unsclerotised cuticle) in addition to circumanal setae. Peritreme extending to level of j3. Fixed cheliceral digit with 2���3 teeth in addition to apical tooth; movable digit edentate. Macrosetae present only on genu, tibia and tarsus IV. Adult male. Unknown. Deutonymph. Dorsal idiosomal setae as in adult female. Sternogenital shield with five pairs of setae (st1���st5). Opisthogastric region with two pairs of setae (JV1 and JV2) in addition to circumanals. Peritreme extending to level between z2 and z3. Leg macrosetae as in adult female. Protonymph. Dorsum of idiosoma with 17 pairs of setae, distinguished from adult female and deutonymph by the absence of j4, z3 and z6; seta J5 also displaced anteriad of usual position. Ventral shields indistinguishable; with st1���st3, JV1, JV2, JV5 and circumanal setae. Peritreme extending to the level of s6. Leg macrosetae as in deutonymph and adult female. Etymology. The name of this genus is a combination of Amazonia referring to Amazonia rainforest, plus seius (a Roman surname commonly used to compose names of mesostigmatic mites). Remarks. This taxon is placed in Typhlodrominae by having setae z3, s6, S2 and S4. The presence of J4 is reported for the first time in Typhlodrominae, whereas the absence of all ZV setae is reported for the first time in Phytoseiidae. Within this subfamily, this genus is placed in Paraseiulini (Wainstein, 1976) by the presence of z6 and S4, but it differs from the other genera in this tribe by the presence of the unpaired setae and J4, by the absence of S5, JV4 and ZV, by the narrow dorsal shield and the presence of anal shield. A long seta J5 is not a common characteristic in this family; J5 as long as Z5 has been reported for Macrocaudus Moraes, McMurtry & Mineiro (Amblyseiinae), but even in that case, those setae are shorter than the distance between their bases (Moraes et al., 2003). A broadly rounded posterior margin of the genital shield has been reported for Amblyseiella Muma and Phytoseiulus Evans (Amblyseiinae), but apparently for none of the Typhlodrominae genera. Among the phytoseiids, the presence of extra unpaired dorsal setae of the idiosoma has not been reported. However, a single seta anteriad of J2 has been reported in some specimens of Australiseiulus angophorae (Schicha) (Typhlodrominae), whereas in other specimens two setae or none have been found (Schicha, 1981); other species of the same genus do not have that seta, interpreted by Beard (1999) as J1. Other phytoseiids reported to have seta J1 belong to the Amblyseiinae, namely Chileseius Gonzalez & Schuster, Diaphoroseius Chant & McMurtry, Evansoseius Sheals and Rubuseius Ragusa, as well as a few species of Typhodromalus Muma and Typhlodromips De Leon (Chant & McMurtry, 2007). Australiseiulus poplar Beard has a J seta interpreted by Beard (1999) as J4. In comparison with some specimens of Arrenoseius palustris (Chant) and with Macrocaudus multisetatus Moraes, McMurtry & Mineiro, the only phytoseiid species (Amblyseiinae) reported to have J3 (Moraes et al., 2003; Chant & McMurtry, 2007), and with species of the closely related family Blattisociidae (Lindquist & Evans, 1965), it seems that this seta could instead be J3. Seta J4 has been reported in several phytoseiid genera (all Amblyseiinae), namely Evansoseius, Pararrenoseius Chant & McMurtry, Rubuseius, as well as in Chileseius camposi Gonzalez & Schuster, M. multisetatus, Typhloseiella perforata (Wainstein) and some specimens of A. palustris (Chant & McMurtry, 2007). Extra setae are quite commonly found in other mesostigmatid mites, including species of Ascidae, Blattisociidae and Melicharidae (Moraes et al., 2016) and Laelapidae (Evans & Till, 1966). Most often, extra setae are found in only some of the species of each genus. Thus, other species of this new genus may lack the setae here referred to as x and X., Published as part of Demite, Peterson R., Cruz, Wilton P. & Moraes, Gilberto J., 2017, Amazoniaseius imparisetosus n. sp., n. g.: an unusual new phytoseiid mite (Acari: Phytoseiidae) from the Amazon forest, pp. 302-310 in Zootaxa 4236 (2) on pages 303-304, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4236.2.5, http://zenodo.org/record/321772, {"references":["Wainstein, B.

Studies to determine mite species richness in natural environments are still scarce, and have been conducted mainly in tropical ecosystems. The aim of this study was to determine the species richness of mites on two common native plants in fragments of the semideciduous seasonal forest in the Northwest of Sao Paulo State, Brazil. In each of eight fragments, 10 specimens of Actinostemon communis (Euphorbiaceae) and 10 of Trichilia casaretti (Meliaceae) were selected and marked. In total, 124 species of mites belonging to 21 families were found on the two plants. Tarsonemidae had the highest diversity (34 species), followed by Phytoseiidae (31), Tetranychidae (9) and Tenuipalpidae (8). Species accumulation curves for the two sampled plants did not reach an asymptote, even with the large sampling effort. Hence, it is estimated that a greater sampling effort may lead to an increase in species richness compared with what was found in this study. The richness of this mite fauna suggests that preservation of the...

Tarsonemini species are known as egg parasitoids, algivores, fungivores or phytophages (Lindquist 1969, 1986; Lofego et al. 2005). The feeding habits of species of the genera morphologically most similar to Kaliszewskia are also inadequately known. Fungitarsonemus species have been speculated to feed on fungi, which could also be the case of the species here described, given that the habitats where the types were found are humid, allowing easy development of fungi on leaves. Species of Ceratotarsonemus, Daidalotarsonemus and Rynchotarsonemus are also thought to feed on algae, lichens or on plant leaves., Published as part of Lofego, Antonio C., Demite, Peterson R. & Moraes, Gilberto J., 2015, A new genus and species of Tarsonemidae (Acari: Heterostigmata) from the Atlantic Forest, Brazil, pp. 561-568 in Zootaxa 3986 (5) on pages 563-567, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3986.5.3, http://zenodo.org/record/242963, {"references":["Lindquist, E.

Kaliszewskia gen. nov. Diagnosis. This new genus fits the characterization of Tarsonemini, Tarsoneminae, as described by Lindquist (1986). However, it can be distinguished from all genera of this tribe by a combination of the following female characteristics: a) setae sc 2, c 1, c 2 and d thickened but flexible (tip bent to different directions in mounted specimens), barbed and distally knobbed; b) seta v 1 stout, strongly serrated and inserted at the tip of a long flat tubercle; c) seta ps minute; d) femur I with a postero-ventral cone-shaped projection that bears v''; e) anterior ambulacral claw of legs II and III distinctly shorter than posterior claw; f) seta 3 a inserted distinctly medial end of apodeme 3. The first three characteristics are autapomorphies for the one known species of this new genus (Cetaratotarsonemus De Leon species have c 1, c 2 and d similar to those of the new genus here described, but without distal knobs). The other characteristics are shared with three other genera: a projection on femur I bearing seta v'' is also found in Rhyncotarsonemus Beer; some Fungitarsonemus Cromroy species have asymmetrical ambulacral claws; and Ceratotarsonemus and Fungitarsonemus have seta 3 a inserted anteriad of the medial end of apodeme 3. Description. Adult female. Gnathosoma. Capsule slightly wider than long, sub-triangular, not beaklike anteriorly; palpcoxal setae not observed. Dorsal gnathosomal setae smooth, sharp-tipped. Palpi directed anteriorly, slightly convergent distally, short and robust, each with short seta and short cone-shaped structure.

The mite community has been surveyed in Seasonal Semideciduous Forest with three types of surrounding agricultural environments to test the hypothesis that abundance and richness of mites in forest fragments are influenced by the type of agricultural environment. The survey has been carried out in six fragments, divided into sets of two fragments, each one neighboring one sort of agricultural environment: sugarcane crop (FS), orange crop (FO) and pasture (FP). In each fragment, ten individuals of Actinostemon communis (Euphorbiaceae) were selected, five at the edge and five within each fragment. Iphiseiodes zuluagai, often registered in orange crops, was more abundant in the fragments neighboring such crop, as well as some species of Tarsonemidae. In this study, the Phytoseiidae were more abundant in the fragments neighboring pasture, while sugarcane crops probably favored occurrence of phytophagous mites in the neighboring fragments. Tetranychidae were less abundant in FO, which can be explained by periodical use of pesticides in the orange crops. Forest fragments are important for colonies of predators in the neighboring crops, mainly for annual crops such as sugarcane, where the close perennial environment is very important for colonization of the crop. Maintenance of those areas, besides favoring preservation of wild species of mite, is very important to increase diversity of the neighboring agricultural ecosystems. Foi estudada a comunidade de ácaros em fragmentos de mata estacional semidecidual com três tipos de ambientes agrícolas circunvizinhos para testar a hipótese de que a abundância e a riqueza de ácaros em fragmentos florestais são influenciadas pelo tipo de ambiente agrícola. O estudo foi conduzido em seis fragmentos, divididos em três conjuntos de dois fragmentos, sendo cada conjunto vizinho de um determinado tipo de ambiente agrícola: canavial (FS), laranjal (FO) e pastagem (FP). Em cada fragmento foram selecionados e marcados dez indivíduos de Actinostemon communis (Euphorbiaceae), cinco na borda e cinco no interior do fragmento. Iphiseiodes zuluagai, registrado frequentemente em laranjais, foi mais abundante nos fragmentos vizinhos a essa cultura, bem como algumas espécies de Tarsonemidae. Neste estudo os fitoseídeos foram mais abundantes nos fragmentos vizinhos de áreas de pastagens, enquanto os cultivos de cana-de-açúcar provavelmente favoreceram a ocorrência de fitófagos nos fragmentos adjacentes. Os tetraniquídeos foram menos abundantes em FO, o que pode ser explicado pela aplicação periódica de pesticidas nos laranjais. Fragmentos florestais são importantes para a colonização de predadores nas culturas vizinhas, principalmente em culturas anuais, como a cana-de-açúcar, nas quais o ambiente perene próximo é muito importante para a colonização do cultivo. A conservação dessas áreas, além de favorecer a manutenção de espécies silvestres de ácaros é de grande importância para o aumento da diversidade nos agroecossistemas vizinhos.

Typhlodromus (Galendromimus).��� van der Merwe, 1968: 63. Kampimodromus (Galendromimus).��� Karg, 1983: 305. Type species: Typhlodromus alveolaris De Leon, 1967 Chant & McMurtry (1994) included four species in this genus, and characterised it by the following attributes: setae s 6 and Z 1 present; setae z 3, S 2, S 4 and R 1 absent; some dorsal shield setae, especially Z 4 and Z 5, elongate, thick and strongly serrate. Three other species are now placed in Galendromimus, including the new species described here. As previously pointed out for Galendromimini, the inclusion of the new species described in this paper in Galendromimus requires that z 3 may occasionally be found in species of this group. Additional characteristics of Galendromimus are: seta Z 1 present; J 2, S 5, JV 3, JV 4 and ZV 3 present or absent (leading to five possible setal patterns in this small genus���Table 1); sternal and genital shields smooth; sternal shield lightly sclerotised; ventrianal shield subrectangular, constricted at level of JV 3, mostly smooth anterior to anal opening and reticulate elsewhere, with four pairs of pre-anal setae (JV 1, JV 2, JV 3 and ZV 2) and a pair of preanal pores of variable position and size; fixed cheliceral digit with few teeth, anteriad of pilus dentilis; leg macrosetae absent [differentiated seta on basitarsus IV of G. (N.) borinquensis, not much longer than neighboring setae]; spermatheca variable; and distal end of peritreme anteriad of j 3 [except G. (G.) alveolaris]. Chant & McMurtry (1994) recognised two subgenera in this genus, Galendromimus (Galendromimus) Muma and Galendromimus (Nothoseius) De Leon. The latter has only one species, G. (N.) borinquensis (De Leon)., Published as part of Demite, Peterson R., Gondim, Manoel G.

Paratypes: three females and one male, same host and locality as holotype; one female, Bonfim (3 �� 21 ���N; 59 �� 49 ���W), Roraima State, Brazil, on Musa sp. (Musaceae), April 29, 2010; one female, Bonfim (3 �� 21 ���N; 59 �� 49 ���W), on Cocos nucifera (Arecaceae), April 29, 2010. All types deposited at Departamento de Entomologia e Acarologia, Escola Superior de Agricultura ���Luiz de Queiroz���, Universidade de S��o Paulo (ESALQ-USP), Piracicaba, S��o Paulo State, Brazil, except the last paratype, deposited at Departamento de Zoologia e Bot��nica, Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), S��o Jos�� do Rio Preto, S��o Paulo State, Brazil. All types collected by T.M.M.G. de Castro and A. L. Marsaro Jr.. Remarks. This species differs from all other species of Galendromimini by the presence of dorsal seta z 3. Except for this characteristic, it is very similar to Galendromimus (Galendromimus) sanctus De Leon. Both species lack seta S 5; have the dorsal shield reticulate, except for a transverse band behind Z 4; setae j 4, j 5, j 6, J 2, J 5 and z 5 are short and smooth; j 3, z 2, z 3, z 4, Z 4, Z 5, s 4 and s 6 are longer, serrate and inserted in tubercles; the sternal shield is lightly sclerotised or unsclerotised; the ventrianal shield is smooth anterior to the anal opening and reticulate elsewhere. For this reason, it was included as a member of Galendromimus (Galendromimus) instead of placing it in a new genus., Published as part of Demite, Peterson R., Gondim, Manoel G.
