A New Species

The species belonging to the Monolepta pallidula species group are revised. Two species are recognized as valid: Monolepta sauteri Chûjô and M. kuroheri Kimoto. Taiwanese populations of Monolepta pallidula (Baly) are a distinct species different from the true M. pallidula. Thus Monolepta gracilipes Chûjô, a junior synonym of M. pallidula from Taiwan, is an available name and should be reinstated. A new species, Monolepta tsoui, is described with delimitation of color variation from its allied species, M. gracilipes. A lectotype is designated for Monolepta gracilipes Chûjô. A key to the species of the species group is provided.

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, 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 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.

The revised tiliarum species group in the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten is defined by the presence of setae Z1, S2, S4, and S5 as well as J2, J5, Z4, and Z5 on the opisthoscutum, excluding sublateral seta R1 which may or may not be inserted on the opisthoscutum. The chaetotaxy on the opisthoscutum of the revised tiliarum group is identical with that of the australicus (in part) and simplex groups. However, the tiliarum group is distinguished from the former by the absence of seta z6 on the podoscutum and from the latter by differences in the nature of the peritreme and of the setae on the dorsal shield and by the shape of the ventrianal shield. The original tiliarum group included only 3 species whereas the revised group comprises 26 species, including one new species: T. comptus Corpuz, Typhlodromus crassipilis (Athias-Henriot and Fauvel) comb, nov., T. aceri Collyer, T. tuberculatus Wainstein, Typhlodromus runiacus (Kolodochka) comb, nov., T. transitans Gupta, T. tiliarum Oudemans, T. perforatus Athias-Henriot, Typhlodromus carmeli (Rivnay and Swirski) comb, nov., Typhlodromus montforti (Rivnay and Swirski) comb. nov., T. elisae Schicha and McMurtry, T. spaini Collyer, T. cassiniae Collyer, T. steveni Schicha, T. myopori Collyer, T. steeli Schicha and McMurtry, T. cottieri Collyer, T. dachanti Collyer, T. novaezealandiae Collyer, T. manukae Collyer, T. glenfieldensis Schicha, T. oleariae Collyer, T. corrugatus Schicha, Typhlodromus ashleyae sp.nov., T. armidalensis Schicha and Elshafie, and T. nesbitti Womersley. Heteroseiulus aceris Lehman is synonymized with T. aceri, Typhloctonus prunus Denmark and Rather with T. transitans, and Seiulus sexapori Karg and Edland with T. tuberculatus. Shiehia multispinosa Tseng and Typhloctonus vollsella Chaudhri are proposed provisionally as junior synonyms of T. comptus and T. transitans, respectively. Four genera, Neoseiulella Muma, Typhloctonus Muma, Pegodromus Athias-Henriot and Fauvel, and Heteroseiulus Lehman are designated as new junior synonyms of the genus Typhlodromus and one genus, Shiehia Tseng, as a provisional junior synonym. Most species in this group are recorded from temperate climates; 16 of the 26 recorded species are limited to the Australian faunal region. Various generic concepts relating to the species in the tiliarum group are reviewed and the general characters of the group are described. A key, descriptions, and illustrations for adult females of each species are provided.

A revised pomi species group is proposed, with Typhlodromus pomi (Parrott, Hodgkiss &Shoene) as the exemplar. The group is characterized by the presence of seta R1 on the opisthoscutum of adult females and it is composed of 16 species, including 2 new species: Typhlodromus bromus (Denmark) comb, nov., T. eiko E1 Banhawy, T. flumenis Chant, T. herbertae Nesbitt, T. juniperi De Leon, T. juniperoides (De Leon) comb. nov., T. lindquisti n. sp., T. mexicanus (Muma) comb. nov., T. negundinis (Denmark) comb, nov., T. nelsoni Chant, T. pomi (Parrott, Hodgkiss &Shoene), T. pomoides Schuster and Pritchard, T. tuttlei (Denmark) comb, nov., T. validus Chant, T. paraflumenis n. sp., and T. pedoni Zaher and Shehata. Typhlodromus pomoides is reinstated as separate from T. herbertae, and Galendromus deleoni Tuttle and Muma is designated as a junior synonym of T. juniperi. Various generic concepts relating to the species in the pomi group are reviewed, the group is described, and a key to adult females and descriptions of each species are provided.

A New Species

Synallaxis whitneyi Pacheco and Gonzaga, 1995, was described from specimens collected in Bahia, Brazil. Some years later, following analysis of the specimens used by Wied (1831) to describe Synallaxis cinereus, Whitney and Pacheco (2001) considered S. whitneyi a junior synonym of S. cinereus because three of the specimens in Wied’s series were identical to those collected in Bahia by Pacheco and Gonzaga (1995). They also designated a lectotype for Synallaxis cinereus. Our analysis of the description of Synallaxis cinereus reveals that Wied was merely providing a new name for Parulus ruficeps Spix, 1824, to avoid problems of homonymy (Wied 1831). The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature is explicit in such cases, stating that if an author proposes a new species-group name as a replacement (nomen novum) for an earlier available one, then the two names are objective synonyms and have the same name-bearing type. Thus, the syntypes of S. cinereus are the specimens previously used by Spix in describing Parulus ruficeps and not those used by Wied (1831) in his description (and subsequently referred to as syntypes in the literature). The lectotype of Synallaxis cinereus proposed by Whitney and Pacheco (2001) is invalid, as it is not a former syntype. Therefore, the correct name for the Bahia Spinetail is Synallaxis whitneyi Pacheco and Gonzaga, 1995.

Taxonomy of the two previously described species of the hippolytid shrimp genus Heptacarpus Holmes, 1900, H. camtschaticus (Stimpson, 1860) and H. geniculatus (Stimpson, 1860), are reassessed. It has been found that Eualus geniculata longirostris Kobjakova, 1936, which has been regarded as a junior synonym of Heptacarpus geniculatus, is a valid taxon, herein reinstated as a full species. It has been found that two species were confounded in previous literature under the name H. camtschaticus, and one of them is described as new, H. acuticarinatus n. sp. Three species, H. camtschaticus, H. geniculatus and H. longirostris, are redescribed. These four species all belong to an informal species group characterized by the lack of pereopodal epipods. Differences in morphology and distributional pattern among the four species are discussed. A key in aid of the identification of the Asian species belonging to the species group is provided.

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.

Specimens presently identified as belonging to Odontesthes perugiae species group from rio Paraná, rio Uruguay and rio Negro in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay are revised. Two species are recognized: Odontesthes perugiae, type species of the genus with Odontesthes orientalis as a junior synonym, and a new species described herein. Odontesthes perugiae is redescribed and its distribution restricted to the lower rio Paraná, lower rio Uruguay and rio Negro basins. The new species is endemic from the upper rio Uruguay above Salto do Yucumã (Brazil) or Saltos del Moconá (Argentina) falls. Both species share with the remaining taxa included in the O. perugiae species-group (O. bicudo, O. ledae, O. mirinensis, and O. piquava) the possession of teeth of the outer row on dentary and premaxilla shorter than those in the inner row, being distinguished from them by the number of gill rakers, body measurements and some osteological characters.
