A New Species

The simplex species group is described on a worldwide basis. There are six species in the group as presently conceived, including a new species: Typhlodromus arzakanicus (Arutunjan), T. calabriae (Ragusa &Swirski), T. carmonae n. sp., T. peculiaris Kolodochka, T. simplex (Chant), and T. subsimplex (Arutunjan). A brief introduction to the various generic concepts of different authors is given in relation to the species which belong to the simplex group, and the basic characters of the group are outlined. A key to adult females is provided and morphological descriptions of the six species are given. Descriptions of the three species which we were unable to examine are based on the original descriptions and illustrations.

A New Species

A new species, Phytoseius feresi Demite & Cavalcante sp. nov. (Acari: Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) is described and illustrated based on adult females. It was found in association with plants in natural vegetation in Itacoatiara, Amazonas state, Brazil. This new species is a member of the purseglovei species group and differs of all other species of this group by possessing all dorsal setae, except Z5, and the ventral seta JV5 smooth. We propose a redefinition of purseglovei species group in order to include the new species. In addition, a key to world species of purseglovei species group is provided.

A New Species

A revised concept of the occidentalis species group in the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten is proposed. Concepts of the group proposed by various earlier authors are reviewed. Keys are provided to the adult females of the eight species in the group, including a new species (T. annectens De Leon, T. ferrugineus (De Leon), T. helveolus Chant, T. longipilus Nesbitt, T. occidentalis Nesbitt, T. porresi McMurtry, T. superstus (Zack), and T. deceptus n. sp.), and each is described. Typhlodromus gratus Chant is designated as a junior synonym of T. helveolus.

A New Species

A redefined soleiger species group in the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten is proposed. Typhlodromus subsoleiger (Wainstein), T. tetramedius Zaher &Shehata, T. ostiolatus (Athias-Henriot), and T. amaliae (Ragusa &Swirski) are synonymized with T. talbii Athias-Henriot; and T. incognitus (Wainstein &Arutunjan) and T. trimediosetus Xin et al. are synonymized with T. soleiger (Ribaga). A new species, Typhlodromus triporus, which was previously attributed to T. soleiger, is proposed. Characters for the group are described. Keys to the adult females of the five species in the group and descriptions of each species are provided.

A New Species

A new species-group of Lasioseius is described from adults and immatures of four newly described and one undescribed species associated with hispine beetles of the genera Cephaloleia and Chelobasis and other gamasine mites in the furled leaf habitat of Heliconia and related Zingiberales plants. The species-group presents a suite of apomorphic attributes placing it in the subgenus L. (Lasioseius). Adults and immatures were found moving freely on and off the beetles when the latter were exposed from their habitat. Larviparity is indicated by adult females gravid with fully developed larvae. Limited data suggest considerable host specificity between mites and their beetle hosts, indicating that there may be a vast diversity of these mites associated with hundreds of species of hispine beetles in the Neotropical Region. Keys are provided to currently accepted species-groups of Lasioseius and to the species within the new species-group.

A New Species

Rana jiulingensissp. nov., a new species from Hunan and Jiangxi, southeastern China, is described. The new species is assigned to the R. japonica group. The clade comprising R. jiulingensissp. nov. and R. dabieshanensis from Anhui is the sister taxon of R. omeimontis from Sichuan. Rana jiulingensissp. nov. can be distinguished by the significant divergences in the 16S and COI genes, and the combination of following morphological characters: body size medium, SVL 48.3–57.8 mm in adult males and 48.2–57.5 mm in adult females; dorsolateral fold straight; digits without circummarginal grooves; dorsal skin smooth; tibio-tarsal articulation reaching forward beyond the tip of snout; heels overlapping; webbing formula of toes: I 1⅓ – 2 II 1⅓ – 2⅓ III 1½ – 2⅔ IV 3 – 1⅓ V; absence of vocal sacs in males; and presence of creamy white nuptial pad with tiny hoar spines on the finger I and reddish tubercles on loreal and temporal regions in breeding males. Furthermore, based on our results and the previous literature, R. zhengi is synonymized with R. sangzhiensis, and a new species group, the Rana johnsi group, is proposed for the R. johnsi and R. sangzhiensis. Currently, the Rana contains 41 recognized species, and the phylogenetic placements of several species remain unresolved.

A New Species

A new species of Iguanidae Liolaemini lizard from the San Guillermo National Park in western Argentina, is described. The new species is a member of the Liolaemus darwinii complex within the monophyletic boulengeri species group. It is distinguished by its small body size, relatively long tail, low number of scales around midbody, dorsal scales moderately keeled, precloacal pores only in male, bulged patch of enlarged scales on the proximal posterior surface of the thigh in both sexes, dorsal pattern lacking of light vertebral or dorsolateral stripes, antehumeral fold without black pigment in female but greyish in male, a prescapular dark dot dorsal to antehumeral fold in both sexes, and postscapular spot absent. The new species is terrestrial, living in habitats with gravel and sandy soil in an Andean Monte landscape with sparse vegetation, above 2270 meters of altitude.
