Abstract

2008) Dorsipes saxicolae, a new species of mite (Acari: Podapolipidae), an ectoparasite of Amara (Pparacelia) saxicola Zimm. (Coleoptera: CarabidaeABSTRACT -Dorsipes saxicolae n. sp. (Acari: Podapolipidae) is described from Amara (Paracelia) saxicota Zimm. (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from northeastern Iran. Dorsipes saxicolae is compared with 4 other species in the inflatus group of Dorsipes Regenfuss. A key to the species is provided.

Dorsipes caspius n. sp. (Acari: Podapolipidae), a subelytral parasite of Pterostichus caspius (Menetries) (Coleoptera: Carabidae) with notes on host range of the genus and the distribution of the platysmae group

“…and some congeners in platysmae species group are summarised in Table 1.

“…However, recent studies have revealed new species and records of all four carabid-associated genera from several parts of Iran (see Hajiqanbar et al, 2007Hajiqanbar et al, , 2008Hajiqanbar & Khoshnevis, 2011;Hajiqanbar & Mortazavi, 2012;Tajodin et al, 2014;Mortazavi et al, 2014). Furthermore, Eidelberg (1994) reported six species from all species groups of Dorsipes from parts of the former USSR, as the closest neighboring regions of Iran.…”

<strong><em>Dorsipes diplocheilae</em> sp. nov. and <em>Dorsipes zeelandicae</em> sp. nov. (Acari: Podapolipidae), subelytral parasites of <em>Diplocheila zeelandica</em> (Redtenbacher) (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Japan</strong>

“…Japanese species of Dorsipes are: D. curtonoti Kurosa and , D. limnocarabi Husband and Kurosa, 2002, D. yezoensis Husband and Kurosa, 2002 and the species described herein. The expansion of literature involving Dorsipes after 1968 includes the following contributions: Husband and Rack (1991), Eidelberg (1994), Husband (2000), Husband and Dastych (2000), Husband and Kurosa (2002), , , Husband and Weatherby (2005), Husband and Husband (2007), Hajiqanbar et al (2008) and Husband and Husband (2010). The purposes of this paper are to describe the first record of species in the dorsipes group from a host genus other than Carabus, the genus Diplocheila, compare them with five species in the dorsipes group from Japan, Europe and Western North America and present a revised key to species in the dorsipes group.…”
