Abstract
Surveys were carried out to determine Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) species in oak plantations (Quercus spp., Fagaceae) in different regions of Turkey. As a result, Typhloseiulus anatolicus sp. nov. Döker is described and illustrated based on female and male specimens. The new species is placed in the simplex species group of Tsolakis and Ragusa due to the elongated calyx of spermatheca. It differs from its congeners by having seta J2 more than six times longer than seta j6, and seta S5 about three times longer than seta R1 as well as eight setae on genu II, in the female. In addition, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) rapidus Wainstein and Arutunjan, and Paraseiulus incognitus Wainstein and Arutunjan are reported for the first time for the Turkish fauna. Although T. (A.) rapidus was reported for the Turkish fauna by an earlier study, we consider the previous report invalid, because it shows three pairs of preanal setae as opposed to four pairs in the original description and the material examined in this study. Furthermore, P. incognitus is removed from junior synonymy with P. soleiger and redefined. Therefore, in this study, we retain these two species as distinct species due to differences in their adenotaxy.
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.
