A new species of Pilonychiopus Meyer, 1969 and Farajimaeus n. gen. (Acari: Stigmaeidae) from South Africa.

The genus Pilonychiopus Meyer is re-defined and Austrostigmaeus Fan and Beard is relegated to its synonym. Pilonychiopus hallidayi n. sp., the third species in this genus, collected at Cape Town International Airport, South Africa from imported Leucospermum sp. (Proteaceae) originated in Australia, is described. A new genus, Farajimaeus, is created for Pilonychiopus tutus Meyer. A key to the genera and species of the family Stigmaeidae that lack tarsal claws is presented. Measurements of the type specimens of Pilonychiopus cliffortus Meyer and of F. tutus are provided as the original descriptions lacked these data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
