    A praeimago specimen belonging to genus Acerentomon - doderoi group collected in Sestri Levante (NW-Italy) shows a set of morphological characters that led us to attribute it to an hypothetic new species. In this note we compare such specimen with others from the same locality and with the other species belonging to genus Acerentomon, concluding that it must be considered an anomalous Acerentomon doderoi with additional setae (d6) on the head

    The present paper provides evi dence for the co-occurrence of edaphic palpigrade species in Europe. Eukoenenia mirabilis and E. gallii coexist in the soil of a cork oak plantation on the Ligurian coast in northwestern Italy. Year-round sampling there produced, for the first time in a temperate zone, complete annual cycles of palpigrade populations. In the study area E. mirabilis and E. gallii are univoltine. Both species reproduce in summer and overwinter predominantly in the adult stage. The balanced sex-ratio of the resident E. mirabilis population is remarkable, because males of this widespread species are usually rare or absent
