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.

All specimens collected by P. R. Demite. Etymology. This species is named after the eminent acarologist Ronald Ochoa, USDA, USA. Remarks. Nothing is known about the feeding behavior of this species. 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. Cheliceral stylets of moderate length, with basal levers hardly distinguishable. Largest diameter of pharynx about one sixth width of gnathosomal capsule, with discrete muscular layer and thinly sclerotized walls; without conspicuous paired gland-like structures posteriorly. Idiosoma. Most setae barbed; setae v 1 inserted on tubercles. Some setae (sc 2, c 1, c 2 and d) moderately elongate, stout, and knobbed. Prodorsal shield extending over base of gnathosoma. Stigmata laterad of base of tubercle bearing v 1, on discrete marginal projection of prodorsal shield; main tracheal trunks with unsclerotized atria, and without sclerotized or divided postatrial structures. Vestigial v 2 mediad insertion of sc 2, latter setae more widely spaced from each other than v 1, and inserted near mid-length of prodorsal shield; seta sc 2 inserted anterolaterad of sc 1. Posterior margins of tergites not conspicuously concave or emarginate. Setae c 1 and c 2 obliquely aligned; setae e and f nearly transversely aligned and each pair closer together than setae d. Venter with apodemes 1 fused to each other and to prosternal apodeme to form Y-shaped structure. Apodeme 2 not fused with prosternal apodeme. Prosternal apodeme well sclerotized up to level slightly posterior to medial ends of apodeme 2, then widening and fading to reach sejugal apodeme, which is continuous, but weakened medially. Apodeme 3 slightly arched and transverse, extending from anterior end of trochanters III to level mediad insertion of 3 a. Apodeme 4 extending convergently from insertion of 3 b to central region of poststernal apodeme. Poststernal apodeme distinct, not bifurcate anteriorly. Anterior margin of coxisternal plates III straight. Setae 3 c and 4 a absent. Bases of legs IV moderately spaced, separated by interval about 1.5 times width of trochanter IV; tegula moderately long, about as long as basal width, rounded apically. Aggenital plate without setae. Pseudanal setae vestigial. Legs: Ambulacrum of leg I with a single, uncinate claw. Ambulacra of legs II and III with empodia and asymmetrically paired claws, anterior claw much smaller than posterior. Femora I and II without flanges or ridges, but femora I with postero-ventral cone-shaped projection bearing v''. Legs I and II of moderate length, no segment distinctly elongate; combined length of genu and tibia of leg II subequal with length of tarsus, and femorogenu about 1.5 longer than tibiotarsus. Trochanter III elongate, subelliptical, plate-like, longer than femorogenu III. Leg IV elongate, cylindrical, with femorogenu about 1.5 longer than tibiotarsus. Number of tactile setae (solenidia in parentheses): femur, genu and tibia+tarsus of leg I, 4 - 4-6 + 8 (1); femur, genu, tibia and tarsus of leg II, 3 - 3-4 - 5 (1); femorogenu, tibia and tarsus of leg III, 1 + 3-4 - 4; femorogenu and tibiotarsus of leg IV, 1 + 1 - 1 + 1. Legs I-III with femoral and genual setation complete, with conspicuously barbed and thickened setae on femur I (d, l' and l''). Tibial sensory cluster of leg I incomplete, without solenidion �� 1 and �� 2. Tarsus I with seta pl' present and pl'' absent. Tarsus II without spine-like pl''. Subunguinal seta (s) of tibiotarsus I and unguinal seta u' of tarsi II and III thorn-like. Remarks. In addition to the features mentioned in the diagnosis, the new genus shares the following features with Fungitarsonemus: palpi short and robust, almost totally fused to gnathosomal capsule; seta sc 2 inserted anteriad of sc 1; seta d of femur I stoutened; solenidia of tibia I and pl'' of tarsus II absent (present in some Fungitarsonemus). The new genus also shares the following features with Ceratotarsonemus, Daidalotarsonemus and Excelsotarsonemus: modified dorsal idiosomal setae and seta l' of femur I stoutened and barbed. An examination of the male and immature will be required to determine the phylogenetic positioning of this new genus in relation to these and other genera. Etymology. This genus is named in memoriam of Marek Kaliszewski, eminent Polish acarologist. Type species.

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].

Peritreme. Almost reaching level of j 1. Venter. Sternogenital shield smooth. Ventrianal shield subtriangular, smooth, 82 long and 102 wide at anterior corners, with four pairs of pre-anal setae (JV 1, JV 2, JV 3 and ZV 2), and a pair of pre-anal pores; lyrifissures not visible. Chelicera. Spermadactyl boomerang-shaped; shaft and foot 11 and 7 long, respectively. Legs. Macrosetae absent, chaetotaxy of genua II and III as in female. Etymology. The name roraimensis refers to ���from Roraima���, the Brazilian State where the types were collected. Type material. Holotype female: Iracema (2 �� 10 ���N; 61 ��03���W), Roraima State, Brazil, on unidentified Arecaceae, March 30, 2010. 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.
