A new species ofEutarsopolipus(Acari: Podapolipidae) fromScaritessp. (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Argentina

Abstract

Eutarsopolipus weatherbyi n. sp, (Acari: Podapolipidae) is described from the carabid beetle, Scarites sp. from Argentina and compared with E. ochoai and E. scariteus in the oehoai group of Eutarsopolipus. This is the first record of this mite genus from Scarites in South America.

Two new species of Australian Eutarsopolipus (Acariformes: Podapolipidae) from Nurus medius (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

“…Species in the ochoai group may lack a respiratory system (E. earnshawi, E. lambkinae, E. rutherfordae; E. scariteus Husband, 2001; E. weatherbyi Husband and Psalmonds, 2004), show only the rudiments of stigmata (E. ochoai Husband, 1995), or have a well-developed respiratory system (E. dastychi Husband & Khaustov 2004;E. leytei Husband & Corpuz-Raros, 1995).…”

Dorsipes saxicolae, a new species of mite (Acari: Podapolipidae), an ectoparasite of Amara (Pparacelia) saxicola Zimm. (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Iran

“…The procedures for collecting mites from beetles and preparing them for study are discussed in Husband and Psalmonds (2004). The carabid host was identified by Danny Shpeley, E. H. Strickland Entomological Museum, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada and by Fritz Hieke, Museum ffir Naturkunde, University, Berlin, Germany.…”

First Record of the Biunguis Species Group (Acari: Podapolipidae: Eutarsopolipus) from Asia, with the Description of a New Species Parasitizing Drypta Lineola (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

“…Legs (Figs. 13-15) as in adult female except ambulacrum I equipped with single large bifid claw in a sucker-like pad, tarsas I: seta pv' very small, seta/i' invisible, solenidion w 3 (2-3) digitiform; tibia I: solenidion (p 6 (4-4) prominent and digitiform, seta k very small (visible in some specimens), seta d 17 (13- Regenfuss 1968Regenfuss 1968Regenfuss 1968Husband and Dastych 2002Husband and Eidelberg 1996Husband 1998aHusband and Husband 2005Husband 1998bHusband and Dastych 2002Husband and Husband 2003Husband and Husband 2005 Husband and Husband 2011…”

“…Regenfuss (1968) created the biunguis group to accommodate three mite species from carabid beetles found in Cermany, Eutarsopolipus biunguis Regenfuss, 1968, Eutarsopolipus globosus Regenfuss, 1968, and Eutarsopolipus agonobius Regenfuss, 1968. Afterward, one species has been described from Brazil (Husband and Eidelberg 1996), three from United States and Canada (Husband 1998a, Husband and Husband 2003, one from Canada (Husband 1998b), one from United States (Husband and Dastych 2002), and in recent years one from Jamaica (Husband and Husband 2011). Ofthe genus Eutarsopolipus, only the rnyzus and acanthoînus species groups have been previously recorded from Iran (Hajiqanbar et al 2007, Hajiqanbar and Mortazavi 2012, Tajodin et al 2014.…”
