“…Differently from what was reported by Joharchi et al (2016), this is the fourth study report on the genus Dinogamasus from the Middle East after Zaher et al (1980) and El-Kawas (2011) both in Egypt and Joharchi et al (2016) in Iran. All together including the new species herein described are three species.…”

The Laelapid family of cosmopolitan mites includes both free-living predators and associated species to arthropods, mammals, or birds. A new species of laelapid mite, Dinogamasus pubescensae n. sp. Abo-Shnaf and Kamel associated with Xylocopa pubescens Spinola (Hymenoptera: Apidae), is described and illustrated. This is a third report of the genus Dinogamasus from Egypt. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: dorsal cheliceral seta present; hypertrichous idiosoma and opisthogaster; sternum without accessory setae, st2 longest, st4 present, endopodal and metapodal plates present, genital shield shorter than anal shield, anal shield rectangular. The genus diagnoses are discussed in terms of new notions. Modification of Lundqvist’s key (1999) is made to facilitate identification of D. pubescensae n. sp. Abo-Shnaf and Kamel from other species.

“…(iii) hypertrichy of idiosoma: This character can be easily found in the family Laelapidae, as Oudemans 19 rightly pointed out the similarity of V. jacobsoni with Pogonolaelaps canestrinii (mentioned as H. canestrinii ) with regard to the hypertrichy of the dorsal shield. Also, in the genera such as Eulaelaps , Haemogamasus 41 , Dinogamasus , Neohypoaspis , Sphaeroseius , Suracarus , and Tropilaelaps , the hypertrichy character can be observed 32 , 38 , 42 . (iv) extra setae on genital shield: The genital shield generally only bears the st5 setae.…”

“…This discovery reasonably relegates the disreputable Varroa mites, currently known as a family Varroidae, to a subfamily within Laelapidae. Based on our molecular analysis and prior morphological studies [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] , additional morphological evidence was identified regarding crucial characteristics that play a significant role in establishing the family Varroidae. (i) www.nature.com/scientificreports/ cheliceral structure: Oudemans 19 noted the similarity of the chelicerae of female Berlesia to those of Varroa and their modifications for parasitism; he also noted that the involution of the cheliceral digit is dissimilar.…”

Molecular phylogeny reveals Varroa mites are not a separate family but a subfamily of Laelapidae

Varroa mites, notorious for parasitizing honeybees, are generally classified as Varroidae. Their extremely modified morphologies and behaviors have led to debates regarding their phylogenetic position and classification as an independent family. In this study, two different datasets were employed to reconstruct the phylogenies of Varroa mites and related Laelapidae species: (1) 9257 bp from the whole 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes of 24 taxa, (2) 3158 bp from 113 taxa using Sanger sequencing of four nuclear loci. Both mitochondrial and nuclear analyses consistently place Varroa mites within the Laelapidae. Here we propose to place Varroa mites in the subfamily Varroinae stat. nov., which represents a highly morphologically adapted group within the Laelapidae. Ancestral state reconstructions reveal that bee-associated lifestyles evolved independently at least three times within Laelapidae, with most phoretic traits originating from free-living ancestors. Our revised classification and evolutionary analyses will provide new insight into understanding the Varroa mites.

Dinogamasus saengdaoae Attasopa & Ferrari sp. nov. is described based on adult females from the abdominal pouch of females of Xylocopa tenuiscapa (Westwood) in Chiang Mai Province, Northern Thailand. The new species belongs to the D. perkinsi (Oudemans) group (sensu LeVeque) and can be distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: (1) dorsal shield covering opisthosoma neither laterally nor posteriorly; (2) opisthonotal soft cuticle with a pair of relatively long setae posteriorly; (3) setae pd1, pd2 on genu I and ad3, pd3, pl1, pl2 on both genu and tibia I conical. Maximum likelihood-based analysis of newly-generated DNA barcodes shows that the sequenced specimens of D. saengdaoae sp. nov. form a monophyletic cluster, and parsimony analysis of a previously available morphological dataset indicates that the species comprises a strongly-supported clade with D. perkinsi and D. piperi LeVeque. We provide an additional couplet for Lundqvist’s key for the species of Dinogamasus Kramer to facilitate identification of D. saengdaoae sp. nov..
