Corrections to the Catalog of the Eriophyoidea (Acarina: Prostigmata) of the World

Abstract: Corrections are provided to entries in the Catalog of the Eriophyoidea (Acarina: Prostigmata) of the World by J. Amrine and T. Stasny, 1994; some of the corrections are errors present in the original text; other corrections are based on new information, not available at time of publication.

Adult idiosomal setal patterns in the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Gamasina)

Abstract: Forty-one pairs of setae and a single post-anal seta are known to occur on the idiosoma of adult Phytoseiidae. Twenty-one pairs and the post-anal seta are present on all known species in the family. Variations in the occurrence of the remaining 20 pairs produce different idiosomal setal patterns: 85 patterns for the adult females and 71 for the adult males. Comparisons of the setal patterns between different body areas show that there has been extensive homoplasy in the evolution of idiosomal setal patterns. Idiosomal chaetotaxy of the Phytoseiidae is compared to that of the Ascinae and the Otopheidomenidae.

A review of the subfamilies Phytoseiinae and Typhlodrominae (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

Abstract: The family Phytoseiidae Berlese is considered to be comprised of 3 subfamilies: Amblyseiinae Muma, Phytoseiinae Berlese and Typhlodrominae New status. The taxa comprising the subfamilies Phytoseiinae, with 142 known species, and Typhlodrominae, with 452 known species, are reviewed to the level of species groups. There are 3 genera and 5 species groups in the Phytoseiinae and 6 tribes, 20 genera, 8 subgenera and 28 species groups in the Typhlodrominae. Four new tribes, 5 new genera, one new subgenus and 13 new species groups are proposed. The exemplar species of each of the taxa are illustrated.

The genus Hyalomma Koch, 1844: v. re-evaluation of the taxonomic rank of taxa comprising the H. (Euhyalomma) marginatum koch complex of species (Acari: Ixodidae) with redescription of all parasitic stages and notes on biology

Abstract: The systematic morphology of species within the Hyalomma (Euhyalomma) marginatum Koch complex of ticks is illustrated and their relationships within this assemblage are discussed. Traditionally this group comprises the extremely polymorphic species Hyalomma (Euhyalomma) marginatum Koch, 1844 subdivided into four subspecies, namely H. (E.) marginatum marginatum Koch, 1844; H (E.) marginatum rufipes Koch, 1844; H (E.) marginatum isaaci Sharif, 1928 and/H. (E.) marginatum turanicum Pomerantzev, 1946. A fifth member of the association, namely H (E.) glabrum Delpy, 1949, has recently been re-instated as a full species. The taxonomic rank of the first mentioned four ticks is herein raised to species level. Details on the repositories of type specimens, synonyms, descriptions, variability, hosts, geographic distribution, and disease relationships of these four ticks are provided, and all their developmental stages are illustrated.

A review of the subfamily Amblyseiinae Muma (Acari: Phytoseiidae): Part I. Neoseiulini new tribe

Abstract: Neoseiulini new tribe is considered to be comprised of eight genera, one of which is new, with a total of 321 nominal species. These genera are reviewed to the level of species groups and subgroups. Exemplars for each taxon are illustrated.
