Palpipalpus Beard and Seeman, gen. nov.
No full textPalpipalpus Beard and Seeman gen. nov. Type species. Palpipalpus hesperius Beard and Seeman Diagnosis. All life stages: dorsal opisthosoma with 13 pairs of strongly barbed setae; c 2, d 2, e 2, and f 2 present; setae e 2 and f 2 inserted in more-or-less marginal position; setae h 2 similar in size and form to other dorsal setae; palps 5 -segmented, setal formula 0, 0, 0, 2, 3 (1); immature stages with anterior margin of prodorsum smoothly rounded, without projections/notches; ventral plate absent; 2 pairs of pseudanal setae (ps 1–2) on weakly developed anal plates. Adult female: gnathosoma partially concealed by anterior margin of prodorsum (also in male); anterior margin of prodorsum with 1 pair of rounded lobes anterior to, but not bearing, setae v 2 (also in male); genital plate weakly developed, membranous; metapodal plates not developed; coxae I without 1 c; trochanters I–IV 1 - 1 -2- 1; femora I–IV 3 - 3 - 2 - 1; genua 2 - 2 -0-0 (setae d and l′′ present); tibiae 4 - 4 - 3 - 3; tarsi I–IV with tc′′. Solenidia of male much thicker and longer than in female. Etymology. The name Palpipalpus is derived from palpus (a feeler) and is repeated to emphasise and allude to the swollen sensory solenidia of the palps and tarsi I–II in the male. Remarks. Palpipalpus most closely resembles Crossipalpus, with both genera sharing males with enlarged solenidia and only two pairs of ps setae. Palpipalpus differs to Crossipalpus by the presence of prodorsal lobes, seta tc′′ on tarsi I–IV, seta f 2 on the dorsal opisthosoma, and the palp tibial seta (all absent in Crossipalpus).Published as part of Beard, Jennifer J., Seeman, Owen D. & Bauchan, Gary R., 2014, Tenuipalpidae (Acari: Trombidiformes) from Casuarinaceae (Fagales), pp. 1-157 in Zootaxa 3778 (1) on pages 80-81, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3778.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/25133

Cyperacarus Beard & Ochoa, 2011, gen. nov.
No full textCyperacarus gen. nov. Beard & Ochoa Type species. Cyperacarus naomae Beard & Ochoa Diagnosis. Adult female. Body elongate (approximately 3 times longer than wide); anterior margin of propodosoma with three prominent projections—a single median projection without setae, and a pair of prominent lateral projections each bearing setae v 2. Dorsal setae sc 1, h 2 elongate, tapered. Dorsal lateral setae sc 1, c 3, d 3, e 3, f 2 inserted on prominent tubercles; setal pairs c 1 -c 1 and d 1 -d 1 not inserted on single tubercles. Dorsal setae v 2, sc 1, sc 2, c 1, c 3, d 1, d 3, e 3, f 2, h 1, h 2 present; setae f 3 absent. Most dorsal setae broad, with strong lateral barbs, finely pubescent on dorsal surface and smooth ventrally, except setae sc 1 elongate barbed; setae c 1 short; setae d 1, h 1 minute, barbed; h 2 with minute club. Venter finely plicate; setae 1 a, 1 b, 2 b, 2 c, 3 a, 3 b, 4 a 1, 4a2, 4b, ag, g 1, g 2, ps 1, ps 2 present. Setae 1 a, 1 b, 4 a 1-2 elongate, extremely fine distally. Palps 3 -segmented, with setal formula 0, 2, 0(2); palp tarsus with two eupathidia. Leg chaetotaxy: nude trochanters and genua (male with v’ on tr I); no additions from deutonymph to female (v’ tr I, l’ fe I, ω’ ta I – IV are added from deutonymph to male); female fe I with 3 setae (male fe I with 4 setae). Leg chaetotaxy in all stages almost identical to that of Gahniacarus, except Cyperacarus with nude trochanters in all stages and male adds one seta to fe I (l’) (Table 1). Immatures. Opisthosomal setal pair c 1, inserted on single central tubercle, is much longer in immature stages than in the adult. Larva with posterior opisthosomal setae d 1, e 3, h 1 minute, and setae f 2 short. Protonymph with posterior opisthosomal setae d 1, e 3, h 1 minute, and setae f 2 similar to other dorsal setae. Deutonymph with posterior opisthosomal setae d 1, h 1 minute, and setae e 3, f 2 similar to other dorsal setae. Leg chaetotaxy: no setae added to the larval complement on the femora, genua or tibiae during development; tr I – IV and ge I – IV are nude in all stages. The leg chaetotaxies of the larva and protonymph are identical to those found on Gahniacarus gen. nov. (Table 1). Remarks. Cyperacarus can be separated from Gahniacarus gen. nov. by the absence of dorsal opisthosomal setae f 3 (present in Gahniacarus), and by the size of setae d 1 which is minute in Cyperacarus, but similar in size to other dorsal setae in Gahniacarus. The two new genera Gahniacarus and Cyperacarus both have dorsal opisthosomal setae c 1 present, dorsal opisthosomal setae e 1 absent and nude ge I-IV. In comparison, the two previously known tenuipalpid genera associated with Cyperaceae in Australia possess the following characters: dorsal opisthosomal setae c 1 absent, dorsal opisthosomal setae e 1 present, ge I-IV Acaricis 2 - 2 - 1 -0, Prolixus 2 - 1 -0-0. See Table 2 for further morphological differences. Etymology. This genus is named for the family of plants on which it was collected, Cyperaceae.Published as part of Beard, Jennifer J. & Ochoa, Ronald, 2011, New flat mite genera (Acari: Trombidiformes: Tenuipalpidae) associated with Australian sedges (Cyperaceae), pp. 1-37 in Zootaxa 2941 on page 19, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20468

Colour. This species is orange with small black spots internally (presumed to be food in gut). Male. Unknown. Remarks. As only one specimen is known for this species, the true range and variability of measurements remains unknown. The tip of the spermathecal apparatus is truncate and presumed to be damaged. Etymology. The masculine Latin word “ foliatus ” means “leafy” and refers to the leaf-like setae on the opisthosoma of this species.Published as part of Beard, Jennifer J. & Ochoa, Ronald, 2011, New flat mite genera (Acari: Trombidiformes: Tenuipalpidae) associated with Australian sedges (Cyperaceae), pp. 1-37 in Zootaxa 2941 on pages 29-32, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20468

Unknown. Etymology. The specific name refers to the common name of the host “ Belah ”. Remarks. Philippipalpus belah lacks the extensive papillation on the soft cuticle around both dorsal shields that is present in Philippipalpus agohoi and Ph. flumaquercus. Philippipalpus belah females have smoother cuticle lateral to the opisthosomal shields, and more medial wrinkles and folds between setae c 1 -h 1 than do females of Ph. nigraquercus. This species was found in association with Pentamerismus sititoris and Chaudhripalpus costacola.Published as part of Beard, Jennifer J., Seeman, Owen D. & Bauchan, Gary R., 2014, Tenuipalpidae (Acari: Trombidiformes) from Casuarinaceae (Fagales), pp. 1-157 in Zootaxa 3778 (1) on pages 121-124, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3778.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/25133
