A NEW SPECIES OF ARRHOPALITES FROM MT. CHANGBAI,CHINA (COLLEMBOLA:SMINTHURIDAE)*

Abstract A new species, Arrhopalites chungbaishanensis is described from Mt. Changbai, northeast China. The present species shares some characters with A. octacanthus, but it differs from the latter by the number of vertical thick spines and manubrial dorsal setae, types of dental setae and the absence of tunica on unguis. In comparison with the other congeneric species, the mast striking character of the present species is its special shapes of the C-series setae besetting on sixth abdominal segment.

Two new species of the genus Aturus Kramer (A. tuzovskyi sp. n. and A. kimichungi sp. n.) from Russia are described. These species and closely related species of the genus Aturus are compared. A. tuzovskyi sp. n. male is characterized by a slender body, the presence of a pair of bifurcated setae on the dorsal shield, two sword ventrodistal setae equal in length on the genu of leg IV, and 10–14 pairs of acetabula. The female of this species is characterized by the oval body and the presence of 10–13 pairs of acetabula. The male of A. kimichungi sp. n. is characterized by a rounded body, the presence of a single pair of bifurcated setae on the dorsal shield; sword setae on the genu IV are longer than tibia IV; 14–21 pairs of acetabula are present. The female of this species possesses a rounded body and 18–19 pairs of acetabula.

Patterns of setal numbers conserved during early development of swimming legs of Copepoda (Crustacea)

During swimming leg development, the number of setae present on the exopod and endopod of the bilobed bud, the transformed swimming leg with 1-segmented rami and the swimming leg with 2-segmented rami of copepods is analysed. For swimming leg 1, the most frequent number of setae on the presumptive rami of the bilobed bud is found at a higher percentage among copepod species than the most frequent number of setae for either the transformed swimming leg with 1-segmented rami or the swimming leg with 2-segmented rami. However, for swimming legs 2–4 the most frequent number of setae for the the transformed swimming leg with 1-segmented rami is found at a higher percentage of species than that on either the bilobed bud or the swimming leg with 2-segmented rami. Thus, in the cases of swimming legs 2–4, species with different numbers of setae on the presumptive exopod and endopod of the bud bilobed bud develop the same number of setae on the rami of the transformed swimming leg with 1-segmented rami. Increasing the number of species analysed is expected to make more robust the hypothesis that the number of setae on the transformed swimming leg with 1-segmented rami is conserved relative to the number of setae on the bilobed bud.

New species of Desoria (Collembola: Isotomidae) from Korea

A new species, Desoria mulyeongariensis, shares some characters with D. choi (Lee), such as the number of setae on retinaculum and apical setae on manubrium. However, it could be easily distinguished from D. choi by the number of ommatidia. This species is also well characterized by having long and thickened smooth macrosetae on the body, and 6 basomedian setae on labium.     

Idiosomal setae in the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata): variation,geographical distribution and taxonomic considerations

Phytoseiidae classification is based on idiosoma chaetotaxy and the assumed evolutionary process is seta suppression. This article aims to determine how depilation could have taken place depending on seta position, subfamily and region. For this, the occurrence of 21 variable setae on dorsal and ventral shields was determined for 1996 species in seven biogeographical regions. The occurrence of eight rare setae assumed to be past relics and 11 rarely absent setae (assumed to be undergoing a loss process) was analysed. The subfamily Phytoseiinae has ‘lost’ the highest number of primitive setae, the subfamily Amblyseiinae has ‘retained’ the highest number and Typhlodrominae has an intermediate position, except for the seta z6. The subfamily Phytoseiinae shows the highest number of setae undergoing a loss process, whereas the subfamily Typhlodrominae has lost these setae in 674 species and subfamily Amblyseiinae in 415 species, making this latter subfamily that with the most retained dorsal setae. According to spatial seta occurrence, it could be hypothesized that Amblyseiinae originated from South Gondwana, Typhlodrominae from the Euro‐America region (Laurasia zone) and Phytoseiinae from the Ethiopian area. The presently admitted classification of Phytoseiidae is discussed with regard to the occurrence of rarely present setae (assumed to have been lost in high frequency). © 2014 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2014, 112 , 606–624.     

Some laelapine mites (Acari: Laelapidae) ectoparasitic on small mammals in the Galapagos Islands, including a new species of Gigantolaelaps from Aegialomys galapagoensis

A collection of laelapine mites from small mammals in the Galapagos Islands are identified and their host distributions reviewed. Two species of native rodents, Aegialomys galapagoensis and Nesoryzomys narboroughii, were infested only with laelapine species typical of Neotropical oryzomyine rodents; Rattus rattus was infested with Laelaps nuttalli, a host-specific ectoparasite endemic to Old World Rattus. A synopsis of Gigantolaelaps Fonseca is provided and we describe a new laelapine mite, Gigantolaelaps aegialomys n. sp., from the pelage of the rodent A. galapagoensis on Santa Fe Island. The new species has strong morphological affinities with a subgroup of Gigantolaelaps associated with a group of semiaquatic oryzomyine rodents ( Holochilus, Nectomys, Sooretamys, Pseudoryzomys , Oryzomys palustris). The other nominal species of this group, Gigantolaelaps mattogrossensis (Fonseca, 1935) and Gigantolaelaps goyanensis Fonseca, 1939 , are characterized by 10 setae on Tibia IV, large metapodal shields, and spiniform setae on Coxae I. Gigantolaelaps aegialomys is distinguished from these species by a lack of clearly spiniform setae on Coxa I, with setiform distal seta longer than the proximal; metapodal shields about the same size as the stigma; less than 100 μm separating the first pair of sternal setae.     

A revised numerical chaetotaxy for neotropical Phlebotomine sandfly larvae (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Phlebotomine larval taxonomy is briefly reviewed with particular reference to New World species, of which under one fifth have been adequately described as immature stages. A new numerical chaetotaxy is proposed following studies on the larvae of six species from Brazil. Setal numeration is used in a manner which demonstrates apparent segmental homologies and the use of letter designations for some setae has been reduced. With two exceptions the mesothoracic, metathoracic and abdominal setae are homologized with those of the posterior prothorax, and the anterior prothoracic setae are regarded as atypical.
