Stigmaeus solidus Kuznetsov (Acari, Raphignathoidea, Stigmaeidae)’un Türkiye ve Hollanda örnekleri üzerinden yeniden tanımı

Abstract

Redescription of Stigmaeus solidus Kuznetsov (Acari, Stigmaeidae) was given based on the specimens collected from Turkey and The Netherlands, its original figures were illustrated, and distribution in the world of the species was emphasized. Some structural variations on setae h2 in the female were observed. Male and deutonymph of this species were included for the first time in this study. S. solidus was given before from the type locality, Russia, and reported previously from Kelkit Valley in Turkey. It is determined that this was newly recorded species for the Dutch mite fauna and for the second time from Harşit Valley with this study.

Contributions to the knowledge of the mite genus Stigmaeus Koch, 1836 (Acari: Stigmaeidae) of Turkey

“…The genus Stigmaeus is one of the oldest and most diverse genera in the Stigmaeidae (Fan & Zhang 2005) with 133 valid species (Fan & Zhang 2005;Doğan et al 2015aDoğan et al , 2016Dilkaraoğlu et al 2016a, 2016b. To date, 36 species of the genus Stigmaeus have been reported from Turkey (Özkan et al 1988, 1994Erman et al 2007;Doğan 2007;Doğan et al 2015aDoğan et al , 2016Dilkaraoğlu et al 2016aDilkaraoğlu et al , 2016b. In this paper, we described one new species and reported a new record of Stigmaeus from Turkey.…”

“…The genus Stigmaeus Koch, 1836 (Acari: Stigmaeidae) can be defined by the following characters: idiosoma oval; chelicerae separate; palptibial claw subequal to or slightly shorter than palptarsus; accessory claw seta-like or spine-like, terminal eupathidion on palptarsus basally fused and split into two or three long prongs; counts of setae and solenidia from palptrochanter to palptarsus: 0, 3, 1-2, 2 + 1 claw + 1 accessory claw, 4 + 1ω + 1 subterminal spine-like eupathidion + 2 or 3 eupathidia (basally fused); subcapitulum with two pairs of subcapitular setae; prodorsum typically with a large shield, bearing three pairs of setae and a pair of platelets bearing setae sce; eyes present or absent, postocular bodies (pob) present or absent; dorsal hysterosomal area typically with one or two shields surrounded by three to five pairs of platelets, setae d 1 and d 2 never on same shield; humeral shields dorso-or ventrolateral, with setae c 2 ; intercalary shields entire or divided, with a pair of setae (f 1 ); suranal shield entire or divided, with two or three pairs of setae; coxisternal shields present, divided along midline; ventral opisthosoma with three to five pairs of aggenital setae; genital and anal valves fused or contiguous, with one to three pairs of genital setae and three pairs of pseudanal setae (Fan & Zhang 2005;Dönel & Doğan 2011;Doğan et al 2015aDoğan et al , 2016 Gnathosoma (Fig. 2B).…”

“…Currently, it consists of 33 genera (excluding Erynglpusopsis Tseng, 1982 accepted as synonym of Eryngiopus Summers, 1964 by Doğan et al [2015b]) and more than 575 species (Fan 2005;Dönel & Doğan 2011;Zhang et al 2011;Fan & Flechtmann 2015;Doğan et al 2015aDoğan et al , 2015cFan & Ueckermann 2016;. The genus Stigmaeus is one of the oldest and most diverse genera in the Stigmaeidae (Fan & Zhang 2005) with 133 valid species (Fan & Zhang 2005;Doğan et al 2015aDoğan et al , 2016Dilkaraoğlu et al 2016a, 2016b. To date, 36 species of the genus Stigmaeus have been reported from Turkey (Özkan et al 1988, 1994Erman et al 2007;Doğan 2007;Doğan et al 2015aDoğan et al , 2016Dilkaraoğlu et al 2016aDilkaraoğlu et al , 2016b.…”
