<p class="Body">Two new species of Typhlodromus Scheuten (Acari: Phytoseiidae) from Hainan Islands, China

Abstract

Typhlodromus contains the most species in the subfamily Typhlodrominae and 85 species have been recorded in China. Two new species T. (Anthoseius) bawanglingensis sp. nov. and T. (Anthoseius) informibus sp. nov. were found by examining the specimens collected from Hainan Bawangling National Nature Reserve and Hainan Jianfengling National Nature Reserve in Hainan Islands. Herein, they are described and illustrated based on female specimens.

“…Holotype measurements are shown in bold type for the new species, followed by their mean and range in parentheses. Morphological features of adult mites were measured according to descriptions in Fang et al (2018): dorsal shield length and width were taken from the anterior to posterior margins of the shield along the midline and from the lateral margins at s4 level; for all ventral shields, lengths were measured along their midline from the anterior to posterior margins; widths were taken from the lateral margins at st2, st5 and ZV2 level respectively; cheliceral fixed digit length was measured from dorsal poroid to anterior tip and movable digit length measured from the basal articulation to the tip. The general terminology used for morphological descriptions in this study follows that of Chant & McMurtry (2007), idiosomal seta terminology follows those by Rowell et al (1978) and Chant & Yoshida-Shaul (1991, 1992, adenotaxy and poroidotaxy terminology followed that of Beard (2001), and chaetotaxy of legs follows that of Evans (1963).…”
