“…The distinctive traits of the species are morphologically variable (branches of rostral and notogastral setae; barbulation of bothridial seta) or were not correct (presence of costulae), therefore, Subías . Therefore, we: 1) do not support the synonymy proposed by Subías (2004), 2) propose a transfer of O. agricola in Microppia: Microppia agricola (Fujikawa, 1982) n. comb. 3.…”

“…The main goals of the paper are: to present the supplementary description of D.

(C.) cylindrica rostroincisa Subías and Rodríguez, 1986; to provide an identification key to known species of Discoppia; to compile data concerning distribution and habitats of members of the genus. Additionally, some interesting findings of Oppiidae for Russia and Palaearctic are presented.…”

The supplementary description of the oribatid mite species Discoppia (Cylindroppia) cylindrica (Pérez-Íñigo, 1965) (Oribatida, Oppiidae) is presented, based on materials collected from deep layers of coastal sandy soils in the Republic of Dagestan, eastern Caucasus. The morphology of exobothridial seta, gnathosoma and ovipositor, and the identification of leg setae and solenidia are given for the first time for this species. The revised generic diagnosis, identification key, distribution, and habitats of all known representatives of Discoppia Balogh, 1983 are presented. Some taxonomic nuances within Discoppia are discussed, resulting in the following proposals: Oppia bifidus Bayoumi and Al-Khalifa, 1985 is a junior synonym of D. (C.) cylindrica; Oppia agricola Fujikawa, 1982 is not synonym of D. (C.) cylindrica and transferred to the genus Microppia Balogh, 1983; Oppia tenuis Hammer, 1958 is not representative of Discoppia; Discoppia (Cylindroppia) rostroincisa Subías and Rodríguez, 1986 n. stat. (instead of the existing subspecies status). Together with D. (C.) cylindrica, in the same samples, two rare Oppiidae species were found: Oxyoppia (Oxyoppiella) minuscula Hugo-Coetzee, Lotfollahi, Abbasi-Kalo and Movahedzade, 1917 (known only from the open habitats in Iran) is first recorded in Russia; Graptoppia (Stenoppia) boucheri Ermilov and Frolov, 2021 (known from passalid beetles collected in Ghana and Gabon, West Africa) is first found in the Palaearctic. Both findings in Dagestan are among the northernmost records of their semicosmopolitan subgenera.

“…Remarks -The new species resembles in some respects of Oribatula (Oribatula) sakamorii Aoki, 1970(Fujikawa, 1983Bayartogtokh and Aoki, 2000). However, the new species differs from this latter species in having short lamellar setae, porose areas like deep cavity, sensilli with club-shaped head, long custodium, and mutual distances, (1a -1a) ≈ (2a -2a).…”

“…These constitute a significant component of soil mesofanua which are actively involved in the humification process. They feed voraciously on decaying plant litter and release into the soil nutrient rich faecal pellets (Fujikawa, 1972;Dinsdale, 1974;Haq, 1996;Jain et al, 1999). Larval and nymphal stages are even more active feeders when compared to adults and they feed continuously (Wallwork, 1967;Woodring, 1963).…”

Breeding behaviour and post embryonic development of the lohmanniid mite Haplacarus davisi A. Xavier et al., 2005 were studied in detail by rearing them in specially constructed culture vials, offering their preferred food, under laboratory conditions. Oviposition, hatching, the various developmental stages and total duration in days from egg to adult are described in the present paper. Sketches showing the various life history stages are also given. Deutonymph, hatching, incubation, larva, moulting, Oviposition, protonymph, tritonymph. ABBREVIATIONS ro -Rostal seta; exa -anterior exobothridial seta; exp -posterior exobothridial seta; le -lamellar seta; in -interlamellar seta; bo -bothridium; ss -sensillus. KEYWORDSVery little work has been done on the breeding biology of lohmanniid mites. These constitute a significant component of soil mesofanua which are actively involved in the humification process. They feed voraciously on decaying plant litter and release into the soil nutrient rich faecal pellets (Fujikawa, 1972;Dinsdale, 1974;Haq, 1996;Jain et al., 1999). Larval and nymphal stages are even more active feeders when compared to adults and they feed continuously (Wallwork, 1967;Woodring, 1963). A deeper insight into the biology and life history stages of these cryptic organisms will help to develop strategies to exploit their potential in biodegradation of organic litter and nutrient cycling. Haplacarus davisi MATERIALS AND METHODS Collection and extraction of mitesDecaying leaf litter of X. xylocarpa inhabited by H. davisi was collected from Kakkanchery in Malappuram district of Kerala. It was extracted in a modified Berlese-Tullgren funnel apparatus for 48 hours to separate the mites. The emerging mites were collected in collecting vials containing moistened and powdered leaf litter of X. xylocarpa. The collected mites were then transferred to culture vials for rearing and observation. Preparation of culture vialsIn the laboratory, mites were cultured in specially designed culture vials made up of plastic. The culture medium was prepared by mixing plaster of paris and charcoal in the ratio 4:1. This mixture was made into a smooth paste with distilled water. A few drops of 1% thymol solution were also added into the mixture as a fungicide. This mixture was carefully poured into plastic containers having 3-5cm diameter and 4cm height. Care was taken to prevent trapping of air bubbles while pouring the medium. The surface of the medium was made smooth and even and the vials were allowed to set and dry for two days. The medium was then kept moist by adding a few drops of distilled water. Minute pin holes were made in the lids of these culture vials to maintain air circulation. Rearing of mitesAbout 2-30 mites comprising adult males and females were introduced into a series of culture vials. Moistened and powdered leaf litter of X. xylocarpa was placed in the centre of each culture vial as food item. Culture vials were closed with lids containing minute holes for exchange of gases and kept in d...
