Two new species of Brazilian Johnstonianidae (Trombidiformes: Parasitengona)

Abstract

Two new species, Newellia xakriaba sp. nov. and Centrotrombidium krenak sp. nov. (Trombidiformes: Parasitengona: Johnstonianidae) from Brazilian caves, are described based on vouchering material for which sequences from multiple genes are available. This article expands the geographical range of the genus Newellia André, 1962 known previously only from Angola.
