Crotonia alpina sp. nov. is a member of the Capistrata species-group (Colloff, 2009 b) and is morphologically most similar to C. tasmaniana Colloff, 2009. It differs in having setae c 3 and c 1 about twice as long, and d 2 at least three times as long, as those of C. tasmaniana, and h 2 curved, flagelliform rather than spiniform. The epimeres of C. alpina are porose whereas those of C. tasmaniana are tuberculate laterally. The apophyses of setae h 3 of C. alpina are markedly posterior of those of setae p 1 whereas in C. tasmaniana, they are lateral of p 1.Published as part of Colloff, Matthew J. & Perdomo, Giselle, 2009, New species of Crotonia (Acari: Oribatida: Camisiidae) from Nothofagus and Eucalyptus forests in Victoria, Australia, with a redescription of the fossil species Crotonia ramus (Womersley, 1957), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 2217 on pages 3-5, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18996

Cumberland Memorial Picnic Area [Cumberland Scenic Reserve], Yarra Ranges National Park, Victoria. 37 ° 34 ’S 145 ° 52 ’E, 920m. Coll. R.W. Taylor & R.J. Bartell, 4.xi. 1970 (ANIC Berlesate no. 297). Etymology. The specific name cornuta refers to the horn-like or spine-like structure on each posteriolateral margin of epimeral plates I. Remarks. The association of the male and the female of this species is based on the shared morphology of the bothridial auriculae, the caudal setae and their apophyses, the relative dimensions of setae of the c series, d 2 and e 2 and the tuberculate notogastral shield. Crotonia cornuta sp. nov. differs from all other Crotonia spp. by the following combination of characters: 1) epimeral plates I with sharp, horn-like projections posteriolaterally 2) with setae c 2 present; 3) setae c 3 long, extending to midway point of prodorsal ridges; 4) notogastral shield with narrow lateral strips of small tubercles, and with diffuse tuberculate microsculpture on caudal and humeral regions, otherwise porose; 5) bothridia with narrow, curved anteriolateral auriculae; 6) setae c 1 about two-thirds the length of c 2 which are between a third and half the length of c 3; 7) inter-bothridial ridge a distinctive, crenellated, shallow curve; 8) setae d 2 very long: as long as setae cp. Crotonia cornuta. holotype female a) dorsal; b) ventral. Crotonia cornuta sp. nov. is a member of the Capistrata species-group (Colloff, 2009 b) and is morphologically most similar to Crotonia alpina sp. nov. and Crotonia victoriae sp. nov. It differs from both species by the presence of lateral corniculate extensions on epimeral shields I; stout, elongate epimeral setae 1 b, the shape of the bothridial auriculae and the confinement of tuberculate notogastral microsculpture to narrow lateral strips and the caudal region. It differs from C. alpina sp. nov. in that setae c 3 and d 2 are shorter, the lateral apophyses of setae f 1 and h 1 are spaced apart from each other; and from C. victoriae sp. nov. by its markedly smaller size; setae h 1 and h 2 are flagellate (rather than spinose); setae d 2 and cp are longer; and setae p 1 are shorter and positioned more dorsally on the caudal margin.Published as part of Colloff, Matthew J. & Perdomo, Giselle, 2009, New species of Crotonia (Acari: Oribatida: Camisiidae) from Nothofagus and Eucalyptus forests in Victoria, Australia, with a redescription of the fossil species Crotonia ramus (Womersley, 1957), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 2217 on pages 5-7, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18996

Holotype female, four paratype females and one paratype male, litter and moss, Otway Ranges, 250–350 m, Victoria, coll. 24.xii. 1991 (ANIC Berlesate no. 3844). Label data for this sample is incomplete, though it was probably collected just off the Great Ocean Road in the area between Tall Trees and Maits Rest, Otway National Park (ca. 38 ° 45 ’E 143 ° 33 ’S). This area, within the upper catchments of the Calder, Parker and Elliot Rivers, contains intact, continuous stands of cool temperate Nothofagus rainforest. Holotype and one paratype female deposited in Department of Entomology, Museum Victoria, Melbourne. Remaining paratypes in Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO Entomology, Canberra. Etymology. This species is named after the Gadubanud Aboriginal People, whose traditional country was the rainforest plateau and coastline of Cape Otway, Western Victoria. Remarks. The association of the male and the female is based on the characteristic tuberculate interbothridial ridge, caudal apophyses and short, spiniform setae c 3. Crotonia gadubanudi sp. nov. is a member of the Cophinaria species group (Wallwork, 1977; Luxton, 1982; Colloff, 2009 b). It differs from all other species in the genus by the following combination of characters: 1) setae c 3 short, spiniform; 2) inter-bothridial ridge with line of tubercles on posterior and medial margins; 3) transverse division of the genital plates; 4) lateral line of tubercles along the edge of the notogastral shield adjacent to the hyaline strip and the dorsosejugal margin; 5) humeral extensions bearing lyrifissurae ia; 6) long, spiniform lateral bothridial auriculae, lobed along their posterior margins. Crotonia gadubanudi sp. nov. is morphologically most similar to C. jethurmerae Lee, 1985 with which it shares the following character states: 1) long, spiniform lateral bothridial auriculae, though those of C. jethurmerae lack the posterior lobes; 2) apophyses of setae f 1 and h 1 separated by a distance of about twice their length; 3) with tuberculate anal and adanal plates; 4) with long, pointed bothridial auriculae; 5) short, stout, subequal setae cp and e 2. Crotonia gadubanudi sp. nov. differs from C. jethurmerae in the short, spiniform setae c 3 and the morphology of the interbothridial ridge.Published as part of Colloff, Matthew J. & Perdomo, Giselle, 2009, New species of Crotonia (Acari: Oribatida: Camisiidae) from Nothofagus and Eucalyptus forests in Victoria, Australia, with a redescription of the fossil species Crotonia ramus (Womersley, 1957), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 2217 on pages 23-27, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18996

Apophyses of setae f 1 and h 1 35–40, cylindrical, subequal; those of h 3 30, cylindrical. Ve n te r: epimeres porose (Fig. 3 b); epimeral setae smooth, spiniform, formula 3 - 1-3 - 3; setae 4 a longer than others, 3 c on well-developed tubercle. Genital plates sub-circular. Each plate 237 long, 147 broad with eight spiniform setae and a strongly-developed median carina. Two pairs of aggenital setae subequal in length to genital setae. Anal plate 64 broad, 358 long with three spiniform setae in central region; three pairs of spiniform adanal setae. Ventral margin of notogaster surrounding anal plates U-shaped with V-shaped posteriomedian notch. Tubercles of setae p 1 on short projecting ridge; same distance apart as their length (Fig. 3 b). Lateral view: Caudal margin slightly sloping anterioventrally; perpendicular to notogastral shield (Fig. 17 f); distance between dorsal and ventral surface ca. 535. Apophyses of setae f 1 and h 1 and h 2 pointing dorsolaterally, those of h 2 prominent, horizontal, pointing posteriorly; those of h 3 positioned on caudal margin at base of apophyses of setae h 2, pointing posteriorly. Apophyses of setae p 1 positioned on caudal region almost in transverse line with p 2, and p 3. Distance between apophyses of p 1 and h 3 258. Pleuraspis with scattered tubercles on dorsal half. Male. As for female, except 0.82 of the length and 0.85 of the breadth. Material Examined and Locality Data. Holotype female, two paratype females and one paratype male, sieved litter and wood, open Eucalyptus forest, on Acheron Way, 2 km south of junction with Marysville Rd., ca. 18 km north-east of Healesville, Victoria, 37 ° 33 ' 38 "S 145 ° 40 ' 49 "E, 440 m, coll. D. Black, 4.iii. 1990. Two paratype females, sieved rainforest litter and wood, coastal warm temperate rainforest, Double Creek Nature Walk, Croajingolong National Park, ca. 8 km NW. of Mallacoota, Victoria, 37 ° 31 ' 25 "S 149 ° 43 ' 4 "E, 45 m, coll. D. Black, 26.x. 1990. Holotype, one paratype female, one paratype male (CRO-006) deposited in Department of Entomology, Museum Victoria, Melbourne. Remaining paratypes in Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO Entomology, Canberra. Etymology. The species is named for the State of Victoria. Remarks. The association of the male and the female of this species is based on the shared morphology of the bothridial auriculae, the caudal setae and their apophyses and the relative dimensions of setae of the c series, d 2, e 2 and p 1. Crotonia victoriae sp. nov. can be distinguished from other members of the genus by the following combination of characters: 1) with three pairs of c setae; 2) setae c 3 long, extending at least as far as bases of lamellar apophyses; 3) notogastral shield with narrow lateral strips of small tubercles, becoming diffuse medially of strips on posterior part of the plate and caudally, otherwise porose; 4) bothridia with narrow, curved anteriolateral auriculae with series of obtuse ridges and spurs; 5); setae c 1 about a third of the length of c 2 which are about half the length of c 3; 6) inter-bothridial ridge a flat, continuous shallow curve; 7) setae f 1 and h 1 spiniform; 8) setae p 1 flagelliform, almost as long as apophyses of setae h 2. Crotonia victoriae sp. nov. is a member of the Capistrata species-group (Colloff, 2009 b) and is morphologically most similar to Crotonia alpina sp. nov. (see remarks section for this species above).Published as part of Colloff, Matthew J. & Perdomo, Giselle, 2009, New species of Crotonia (Acari: Oribatida: Camisiidae) from Nothofagus and Eucalyptus forests in Victoria, Australia, with a redescription of the fossil species Crotonia ramus (Womersley, 1957), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 2217 on pages 8-10, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18996
