Abstract
A new species of the genus Epimerella (Oribatida, Epimerellidae), E. kalmykorum n. sp., is described, based on materials collected from the reed debris in the bank of the salty Manych-Gudilo Lake in the Republic of Kalmykia, Russia. The morphology of gnathosoma and the identification of leg setae and solenidia are given for the first time for any representative of Epimerellidae. Besides, Enisella turcica Ayyildiz and Luxton, 1989 is first found in Crimea (on the shore of the saline Sivash Lake). Generic diagnoses for Epimerella Kulijev, 1967 and Enisella Ayyildiz and Luxton, 1989 are revised. An identification key, distribution and habitats of all known representatives of Epimerellidae are presented.
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.
