Perscheloribates paratzitzikamaensis n. sp., with supplementary descriptions of Scheloribates elegans and Monoschelobates parvus (Acari, Oribatida, Scheloribatidae) from Ecuador

“…The length of body setae was measured in lateral aspect. Positions of lyrifissures (ia, im, ip, ih, ips), opisthonotal gland openings (gla), and morphology of subcapitulum, palps, chelicerae, leg segments, leg setae and solenidia resembled that in other Scheloribatidae (Coetzer 1967(Coetzer -1968Ermilov et al 2011;Ermilov and Kalúz 2012), therefore, we do not give detailed data in this paper. All body measurements are given in micrometers.…”

A New Species of Oribatid Mites of the Genus Perscheloribates (Acari, Oribatida, Scheloribatidae) From Сuba

“…Morphology typical for Perscheloribates (see Ermilov et al 2011). Subcapitulum longer than wide (82-86 × 61-65).…”

“…Morphology typical for Perscheloribates (see Ermilov et al 2011). Claw of each leg with small barbs on dorsal side.…”

“…The main generic and subgeneric characters were summarized by Hammer (1973), Corpuz-Raros (1980), Balogh (1990, 1992), Ermilov and Kalúz (2012), and Ermilov et al (2013). The identification keys for many species of the Neotropical region were presented earlier by Balogh (1990, 2002), from the Ethiopian and Oriental regions by Ermilov et al (2011), and Ermilov and Martens (2014).…”

Two New Species and New Records of Oribatid Mites (Acari: Oribatida) from Ethiopia

“…The genus comprises 44 species that collectively have pan-and subtropical distributions (Subías 2004;online ver sion 2013). Up to now, eight species have been recorded from the Ethiopian region (Ermilov et al 2011): P. crassisetosus Ermilov, Rybalov & Franke, 2011, P. ethiopicus (Mahunka, 1986, P. luminosus (Hammer, 1961), P. minimus (Mahunka, 1992), P. minutus (Pletzen, 1965), P. rustenburgensis (Pletzen, 1963), P. shiraensis (Evans, 1953) and P. tzitzikamaensis (Pletzen, 1963). The identification key to aforementioned species and generic diagnostic characters were presented by Ermilov et al (2011).…”
