“…Overall, the average number of new species per year increased from 51 during 2007-2012 to 80 during 2013-2015. This is similar to the trend in the Trombidiformes (an increase from 132 during 2007-2012to 163 during 2013Liu & Zhang 2016) but different from that in the Parasitiformes (a decrease from 57 during 2007-2012to 47 during 2013Lam & Zhang 2016). .…”

A list of of type localities and depositories of new species of the mite order Sarciptiformes published in two journals (Zootaxa and Systematic & Applied Acarology) during 2013-2015 is presented in this paper, and trends and patterns of new species are summarised. The 242 new species are distributed unevenly among 50 families, with 62% of the total from the top 10 families. Geographically, these species are distributed unevenly among 39 countries. Most new species (72%) are from the top 10 countries, whereas 61% of the countries have only 1-3 new species each. Four of the top 10 countries are from Asia (Vietnam, China, India and The Philippines).

“…This paper is part of a series of three for the new species described in the same journals during 2013-2015. The other two deal with the Trombidiformes (Liu & Zhang 2016) and the Parasitiformes (Lam & Zhang 2016). The methods used in this paper follow those in .…”

“…Where are primary type specimens of mite new species deposited? The answer will of course depend on the time Previous surveys of hot spots of new mite species discovery (Lam & Zhang 2016 show that many developing counties top the list for new species of mites (Table 3). The disparity of the two distributions (repository in Table 2 versus origin in Table 3) is due to most European collections holding primary type specimens of foreign origin (Table 4): 69.3% for Russia, 100% for The Netherlands and 97.7% for Poland.…”

A list of type depositories of new mite species published in two journals (Systematic & Applied Acarology and Zootaxa) during the last five years (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)) is presented in this paper. The 1370 new species are deposited unevenly among 134 collections. The top collection is the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia (145 species), which alone accounts for 10% of the total new species, and the top ten collections accounted for 48% of the total. The average number of new species per collection is 10 and over three quarters of the collections are below the average. Just over half (51%) of the collections are in Europe. However, overall there were still more new species deposited in collections in developing counties (741) than developed countries (629). The top country for type depositories of new mite species for each continent is: Russia (199 species) for Europe, Brazil (134 species) for South America, Iran (133 species) for Asia, Australia (87 species) for Oceania, USA (80 species) for North America and South Africa (36 species) for Africa. The top European collections hold type specimens mostly of foreign origin, whereas those of South America, Asia, Africa and Australasia hold type specimens mostly originating from their own countries.

“…I noted a relatively high incidence of synonyms of acronyms for acarological repositories during recent surveys of taxonomic papers on mites (Liu et al 2013;Liu & Zhang 2016;Li & Zhang 2016;Lam & Zhang 2016;Liu et al 2017). Many authors did not use acronyms for acarological repositories.…”
