Looking for future biological control agents: the comparative function of the deutosternal groove in mesostigmatid mites

The physics of fluid laminar flow through an idealised deutosternum assembly is used for the first time to review predatory feeding designs over 72 different-sized example species from 16 mesostigmatid families in order to inform the finding of new biological control agents. Gnathosomal data are digitised from published sources. Relevant gnathosomal macro- and micro-features are compared and contrasted in detail which may subtly impact the control of channel- or ‘pipe’-based transport of prey liquids around various gnathosomal locations. Relative deutosternal groove width on the mesostigmatid subcapitulum is important but appears unrelated to the closing velocity ratio of the moveable digit. Big mites are adapted for handling large and watery prey. The repeated regular distance between deutosternal transverse ridges (‘Querleisten’) supports the idea of them enabling a regular fluctuating bulging or pulsing droplet-based fluid wave ‘sticking’ and ‘slipping’ along the groove. Phytoseiids are an outlier functional group with a low deutosternal pipe flow per body size designed for slot-like microchannel transport in low volume fluid threads arising from daintily nibbling nearby prey klinorhynchidly. Deutosternal groove denticles are orientated topographically in order to synergise flow and possible mixing of coxal gland-derived droplets and circumcapitular reservoir fluids across the venter of the gnathosomal base back via the hypostome to the prey being masticated by the chelicerae. As well as working with the tritosternum to mechanically clean the deutosternum, denticles may suppress fluid drag. Shallow grooves may support edge-crawling viscous flow. Lateral features may facilitate handling unusual amounts of fluid arising from opportunistic feeding on atypical prey. Various conjectures for confirmatory follow-up are highlighted. Suggestions as to how to triage non-uropodoid species as candidate plant pest control agents are included.

“…Type genus: Endopodalius Christian and Karg, 2006, new status, based on subgenus Lasioseius (Endopodalius) Christian and Karg, 2006. Family based on adult females representing 13 described species, keyed below, and a further two undescribed species (E.E.L., both from Costa Rica), and males of two and the larva of one of those species. Quintero-Gutiérrez et al (2020) assigned three other species of Lasioseius to Endopodalius, L. frontalis, L. polydesmophilus, and perhaps L. angustus (the latter based only on the male), without rationale. Based on arguments presented above, those species are retained in the genus Lasioseius, as diagnosed in our other studies (e.g., Moraza and Lindquist, 2018).…”

The systematic position of the subgenus Endopodalius Christian and Karg, 2006, previously recognized by Lindquist and Evans, 1965, as the scutalis species group in Lasioseius, is reviewed. Based in part on plesiomorphic structures of the female sperm access system being of a laelapoid type, it is removed as a subgenus of the blattisociid genus Lasioseius in the superfamily Phytoseioidea and accomodated as a separate genus within the superfamily Ascoidea. In other respects, adult females of this taxon are so distinctive apomorphically to justify separate family group recognition, Endopodaliidae, fam. nov., tentatively related as a sister-group to the morphologically and behaviorally more derived Antennochelidae Lindquist and Moraza, 2014. Species of this family are tropical, their adult females phoretic on beetles of various families of the infraorder Cucujiformia, suborder Polyphaga. A diagnosis of the family and revised description of Endopodalius based on adult females and males are presented, with an updated key to world recognized species of the genus, including the following new binominal combinations, Endopodalius americanus (Chant,1963), Endopodalius mouchei (Loots, 1980), and a new synonym: E. scutalis (Banks, 1914) (= E. prorsoperitrematus Abo-Shnaf et al., 2016). A lectotype is designated from type material of Hypoaspis scutalis Banks, 1914.
