Abstract
The genera Aplonobia and Paraplonobia are redefined due to confusion surrounding the classification of several morphologically intermediate species. Following our revision of these genera, their distinction is based on the form of the peritremes, which are anastomosing in Aplonobia and simple in Paraplonobia. As a result, the subgenus Paraplonobia (Anaplonobia) is treated as a synonym of Aplonobia and the subgenus Parapolonobia (Brachynychus) is moved to Aplonobia. A new species of Aplonobia, namely Aplonobia aria sp. nov., is also described and illustrated based on females and a deutonymph collected from Haloxylon ammodendron (Amaranthaceae) in Southern Iran (Kerman Province). Aplonobia tabukensis (Kamran and Alatawi, 2016) is also recorded for the first time from Iran. Paraplonobia (Anaplonobia) ambrosiae (Tuttle, Baker and Abbatiello, 1976) [preoccupied by Aplonobia ambrosiae (Tuttle and Baker, 1968)] is renamed Aplonobia neoambrosiae nom. nov.
期刊介绍：
Acarologia is a free open-access journal. Please help us by submitting manuscripts in accordance with following instructions.
All manuscripts which do not conform to the instructions will be returned to authors without the benefit of review.
Acarologia publishes the results of original research on all aspects of Acarology.
The journal policy is that taxonomic descriptions should include several species within a same genus/family, when possible.
The editors reserve the right to refuse manuscripts when authors intentionally divide individual species descriptions of the same genus/family into distinct publications.
Single species descriptions should be clearly justified based on their scientific interest.
