Mixacarus (Phyllolohmannia) pectinatus sp. n. (Acari,Oribatida, Lohmanniidae), a new species of oribatid mites from India

A new species of oribatid mites (adult and juvenile instars), Mixacarus (Phyllolohmannia) pectinatus sp. n., is described from India. The new species differs from the majority of species of the subgenus in the absence of distally dilated setae and narrower leaf-shaped setae on dorsal and ventral body sides.     

Global diversity of oribatids (Oribatida: Acari: Arachnida)

Oribatid mites are primarily terrestrial. Only about 90 species (less than 1% of all known oribatid species) from 10 genera are truly aquatic, with reproduction and all stages of their life cycle living in freshwater. Adaptation to aquatic conditions evolved independently in different taxa. However, many terrestrial species can also be found in aquatic habitats, either as chance stragglers from the surrounding habitats, or from periodic or unpredictable floodings, where they can survive for long periods. In spite of their low species richness aquatic oribatids can be very abundant in different freshwater habitats as in lentic (pools, lakes, water-filled microhabitats) or flowing waters (springs, rivers, streams), mainly on submerged plants. The heavily sclerotized exoskeletons of several species enables subfossil or fossil preservation in lakes or bog sediments. Guest editors: E. V. Balian, C. Lévêque, H. Segers & K.

New species of Crotonia (Acari: Oribatida) from South Africa

Four new species of oribatid mites of the genus Crotonia , ( C. pauropelor sp. nov., C. dicella sp. nov., C. lyrata sp. nov. and C. ecphylla sp. nov. ) are described from soil and plant litter from South Africa. Crotonia pauropelor, C. dicella and C. ecphylla are allied to the 'capistrata' species-group, previously known only from Queensland, Australia, in that they possess the full complement of c setae on the notogaster. They differ in having eight pairs rather than nine pairs of genital setae. In addition, C. ecpylla is unusual in the genus Crotonia in that it appears to possess two pairs of setae on each of the second epimera. Crotonia lyrata has only two pairs of c setae and is allied to the 'cophinaria' species-group. This is only the second published record of the genus Crotonia from South Africa, and the first of any named species. A key to the African Crotonia species is provided, which includes the only two previously known species C. alluaudi and C. rothschildi (Berlese, 1916).     

Chemistry of the oil gland secretion of Collohmannia gigantea (Acari: Oribatida)

The chemistry of the lemon-scented oil gland secretion ofCollohmannia gigantea, a middle-derivative mixonomatanoribatid mite, was investigated by gas chromatography – massspectrometry.Gas chromatographic profiles of whole body extracts of C.gigantea revealed two distinct chromatographic zones, the firstcontaining a set of six volatile compounds, comprising the lemon-scentedmonoterpene aldehydes neral and geranial, the scented monoterpene ester nerylformate, a distinctly scented aromatic aldehyde(2-hydroxy-6-methyl-benzaldehyde= 2,6-HMBD), and the two non-scented hydrocarbons, tridecane and pentadecane.All six components appeared to be present in steady relative proportions inscenting mites only, indicating their unity within the scented secretion. Incontrast, the components of the second chromatographic zone were less volatileand found in both, scenting and non-scenting mites. Chemically, they representaset of fatty acids of already known cuticular origin.The secretion bouquet ofthe first chromatographic zone was linked with oil glands by histochemicalmeans: large amounts of aldehydes were present only in oil gland reservoirs,notin any other region of the mite body. While chemical profiles of oil glandsecretions of several dozen astigmatid mites are known, only one other oribatidoil gland composition, from a desmonomatan species, has been elucidated, beingalmost the same as that of C. gigantea. Moreover, allcomponents of these two secretions are widely distributed amongst astigmatidmite species and may also be common in a restricted set of middle-derivativeoribatids. These findings are consistent with the idea of astigmatid miteoriginfrom a mixonomatan-desmonomatan group.     

A list of oribatid mites (Acari,Oribatida) of Vietnam

A species list of identified oribatid mite taxa (Acari, Oribatida) in the fauna of Vietnam is provided. During 1967–2015, a total of 535 species/subspecies from 222 genera and 81 families was registered. Of these, 194 species/subspecies were described as new for science from Vietnam.     

The oribatid mite genus Benoibates (Acari,Oribatida, Oripodidae)

Two species of oribatid mites of the genus Benoibates (Oribatida, Oripodidae), i.e., Benoibates bolivianus Balogh & Mahunka, 1969(a) and Benoibates minimus Mahunka, 1985, are recorded for the first time in Costa Rica. Both are redescribed in details, using drawings, images and SEM micrographs, on the basis of Costa Rican specimens. An identification key to the known species of Benoibates is given.
