Description of a new species ofAcerentulusBerlese 1908 (Protura: Acerentomata: Acerentomidae) with its barcode sequence and a key to the confinis group

Revision ofVesiculentomon, Nosekientomonn. g. (Protura: Acerentomidae, Nipponentominae), and a Key to Genera of Nipponentominae

“…39), and modified sensilliform seta P4 on metanotum (Fig. 40) (Szeptycki & Weiner 1997;Shrubovych et al 2012Shrubovych et al , 2014b. Australentulus also has a well-developed striate band, but differs in possessing reduced labial palpi and 4 setae on sternite VIII.…”

“…Phylogenetic affinities were analyzed by comparing the obtained COI, 18S rRNA, 28S rDNA D1-D2, and 28S rDNA D3-D6 sequences with sequences of other members of Acerentomidae published in previous works (Shrubovych et al , 2014b(Shrubovych et al ,c, 2016Resch et al 2014) completed with published sequences (Bu & Wu 2012;Bai & Bu 2013) and other unpublished sequences found in BOLD (Table 1). Other Acerentomata genera (Neocondeellum [Protentomidae], Proturentomon [Protentomidae], and Hesperentomon [Hesperentomidae]) were used to root the trees (see Table 1).…”

“…The morphologically similar genus Acerentulus comprises 49 species (Szeptycki 2007;Wu & Yin 2007;Shrubovych et al 2012Shrubovych et al , 2014bGalli & Capurro 2013) and is distributed worldwide, but in North America only 2 species are known: Acerentulus confinis (Berlese, 1908) and Acerentulus christensoni (Ewing, 1940). In the present paper, we describe a second species of Acerentuloides, provide a generic diagnosis, and discuss the phylogenetic position of the genus Acerentuloides, subfamily Berberentulinae and family Acerentomidae within Acerentomata.…”

“…A 658 bp fragment of the COI gene (DNA barcode) as well as 1,541 bp of the 18S rRNA and 971 bp of the 28S rDNA D1-D2 were amplified and sequenced from a specimen collected in the USA. To complete the COI data sets previously published (Shrubovych et al , 2014b(Shrubovych et al , 2014c, other Acerentulus and Andinentulus species were amplified for 18S rRNA: Acerentulus charrieri Shrubovych, Schneider & D'Haese, 2012, A. noeli Shrubovych, Schneider & D'Haese, 2014., A. pyreneicus Shrubovych, Schneider & D'Haese, 2014, and Andinentulus rapoporti (Condé, 1963; 28S rDNA D1-D2: A. noeli and Andinentulus rapoporti (2 different specimens); 28S rDNA D3-D6: A. charrieri (2 different specimens), A. noeli (2 different specimens), A. pyreneicus, and Andinentulus rapoporti. The sequences were deposited in BOLD under accession numbers ABPE002-17-ABPE011-17 (see Table 1).…”

Two new species ofAcerentulusBerlese 1908 (Protura: Acerentomata: Acerentomidae) with their barcode sequences and a key to thecunhaigroup

“…The genus Acerentulus Berlese 1908 comprises 46 species (Szeptycki 2007;Wu & Yin 2007;Shrubovych et al 2012;Shrubovych et al 2014) and the genus is subdivided into three groups according to the length of the foretarsal sensilla a, b and c (Nosek 1973). The distribution of Acerentulus species in the world and in France and the taxonomic differentiation of 22 species within the confinis group were discussed in a previous paper .…”
