Neoathyreacarus Khaustov & Frolov 2022, gen. nov.
No full textGenus Neoathyreacarus gen. nov. Type species: Neoathyreacarus pygmephoroides sp. nov. Diagnosis (adult female only). With all characters of the family (Khaustov & Frolov 2019). Gnathosoma. Gnathosoma dorsally with two pairs of cheliceral setae (cha, chb); palps ventrally with small accessory setigenous structure medially and baculiform solenidion laterally; palp tibiotarsus without lateral seta, distally with short rodlike eupathid and well developed tibial claw, subcapitulum with only one pair of setae (m), setae n absent. Pharynx weakly sclerotized, not clearly subdivided laterally into pharyngeal pumps. Cheliceral stylets very short and thin. Idiosomal dorsum. Prodorsum with three setae (v1, v2, sc2) and alveolar pits sc1. Bothridia absent. Stigmata located near anterolateral corners of prodorsal shield. Tergite C entire, not subdivided into median and lateral parts. Idiosomal venter. Genital setae absent. Pseudanal segment with three pairs of setae (ps1-3) located ventrally; anal opening small, located ventrally. Legs. Leg I with large tarsal claw ridged on inner surface. Unguinal setae (u’, u”) on tarsus I separated, modified, spine-like, with weak ridges on inner surface. Tarsi II and III with large claws distinctly thickened near their bases. Claws on tarsus IV not thickened basally. Empodium on tarsi II-IV large, weakly plicate on ventral surface. Leg setation. Leg I: Tr 1 (v’), Fe 5 (d, l’, l”, v’, v”), Ge 4 (l’, l”, v’, v”), Ti 6 (2) (k, d, l’, l”, v’, v”, φ1, φ2), Ta 13 (2) (p’, p”, tc’. tc”, ft’, ft”, pl’, pl”, u’, u”, s, pv’, pv”, ω1, ω2); leg II: Tr 1 (v’), Fe 3 (d, l’, v”), Ge 3 (l’, l”, v’), Ti 4 (1) (d, l’, v’, v”, φ), Ta 7 (1) (pl”, tc’, tc”, u’, u”, pv’, pv”, ω); leg III: Tr 1 (v’), Fe 2 (d, v’), Ge 3 (l’, l”, v’), Ti 4 (1) (d, l’, v’, v”, φ), Ta 7 (pl”, tc’, tc”, u’, u”, pv’, pv”); leg IV: Tr 1 (v’), Fe 2 (d, v’), Ge 2 (l”, v’), Ti 4 (1) (d, l’, v’, v”, φ), Ta 6 (pl”, tc’, tc”, u’, pv’, pv”). Solenidion φ on tibiae II-IV located in anterior part of segment. Species included. The genus Neoathyreacarus includes one species: N. pygmephoroides sp. nov. Distribution and hosts. N. pygmephoroides sp. nov. is recorded from Chile on the bolboceratine beetle Bolborhinum tubericeps Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Geotrupidae). Differential diagnosis. The new genus is most similar to Athyreacarus in having three pairs of pseudanal setae, absence of bothridia and setae sc1 represented by alveolar pits. The new genus differs from Athyreacarus in having only one pair of subcapitular setae (two in Athyreacarus), entire tergite C (subdivided into median and lateral parts in Athyreacarus), absence of setae d on genu I and p’ on tarsus IV (present in Athyreacarus), pharynx not clearly subdivided into four pharyngeal pumps (pharynx clearly subdivided into four pharyngeal pumps in Athyreacarus), and very small cheliceral stylets (large in Athyreacarus). Etymology. The name of the new genus is a combination of two words: Greek neos meaning new, and Athyreacarus, the name of closely related genus.Published as part of Khaustov, Alexander A. & Frolov, Andrey V., 2022, New taxa of Athyreacaridae (Acari: Heterostigmata) from Neotropical and Afrotropical realms, pp. 501-520 in Zootaxa 5188 (6) on page 502, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5188.6.1, http://zenodo.org/record/710356

Renorphnus Frolov & Montreuil 2009
No full textGenus Renorphnus Frolov & Montreuil, 2009 Renorphnus Frolov & Montreuil, 2009: 65. Type species. Orphnus clementi Petrovitz, by original designation. Diagnosis. Renorphnus are small beetles (body length 7.0– 9.5 mm), with uniform brown coloration. Mandibles are subsymmetrical. Frontoclypeus of both sexes is not tuberculate but with more or less raised anterior margin in the middle. Pronotum is wider than long, smooth, similar in both sexes of most examined specimens, with shallow, sometimes almost indistinct depression anteriorly and 2 small tubercles at each side of the depression. Propleurae are smooth, convex, without carinae separating anterolateral areas from basal area. Scutellum is triangular, narrowly rounded apically, about 1/12 length of elytra. Elytra convex with humeral humps, only first stria distinct. Wings fully developed. Metepisternon triangular, tapering caudally, with slightly widened anterodorsal angle slightly overlapping epypleuron. Protibiae of males with apical outer tooth directed almost parallel to the inner margin of tibia, while in female it is directed somewhat laterad. Phallobase strongly sclerotized dorsally and with a thin membrane ventrally. Parameres tapering apically in lateral view and with a minute tooth at apex, without setae. Internal sac of the aedeagus with an area composed of small spinules and with 2 characteristic semicircular sclerites. From the other Madagascar genera, Renorphnus can be separated by having larger eyes (width of eye in dorsal view about 1.8 times smaller than distance between eyes), disc of pronotum with 2 feebly developed tubercles in the middle in majority of specimens and apical outer tooth of protibia almost parallel to internal margin of the tibia in males.Published as part of Frolov, Andrey V., Montreuil, Olivier & Akhmetova, Lilia A., 2016, Review of the Madagascan Orphninae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) with a revision of the genus Triodontus Westwood, pp. 1-93 in Zootaxa 4207 (1) on page 54, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4207.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/20044
