Description:

The genus Elegansovella Hirschmann, 1989 (Mesostigmata: Uropodina: Urodinychidae) is resurrected for species of the Uroobovella elegans-group. This genus differs from the other taxa of Uroobovella Berlese, 1903 sensu lato based on the shape of the idiosoma and the caudal and dorsal setae. Three species from the Uroobovella elegans-group are transferred to the genus Elegansovella, as E. pectintata (Hirschmann, 1973), comb. nov., E. pectinatasimilis (Hiramatsu, 1980), comb. nov. and E. serangensis (Hiramatsu, 1980), comb. nov. The other seven species from this species group are transferred to Monstrobovella gen. nov., as M. crustosa (Vitzthum, 1926), comb. nov., M. enodis (Hiramatsu, 1985), comb. nov., M. faceta (Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978), comb. nov., M. facetaoides (Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978), comb. nov., M. imadatei (Hiramatsu, 1980), comb. nov., M. incerta (Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978), comb. nov. and M. incertaoides (Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978), comb. nov. The new genus differs from Elegansovella by the shape of the idiosoma and the shape of marginal and dorsal setae. Six Monstrobovella species occur in the Oriental Realm and only one species is known from the Neotropical region. The present paper contains the description of a second Neotropical species of Monstrobovella (M. mancocapaci sp. nov.) which was found in Peru. The new species differs from its Neotropical congener in the dorsal and marginal setation.

Contribution to the knowledge of the Neotropical Uropodina (Acari: Mesostigmata)

Publication Name: Zootaxa

Publication Date: 2023-10-26

Volume: 5360

Issue: 2

Page Range: 255-268

Description:

Two new species of Uropodina are described from Peru—Stammeroplitis panguanaensis sp. nov. and Rotundabaloghia (Circobaloghia) koepckeorum sp. nov.. the genus Stammeroplitis is diagnosed and a key to its Neotropical species is presented. twenty species of Oplitis are moved to Stammeroplitis. the new family clausiadinychidae fam. nov. is established for the genus Clausiadinychus and a key to the known species of Clausiadinychus species is provided. New information is presented for three known species of Uropodina (Clausiadinychus quadricaudatus hirschmann, 1973, Rotundabaloghia dillerae Błoszyk, 2019 and Trichouropoda solaris hirschmann, 1972).
