Index 141 5 © Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/; www.zoologicalbulletin.de; www.biologiezentrum.at BONNER ZOOLOGISCHE MONOGRAPHIEN Nr. 52/2004 ABSTRACT A cladogram for the Hydrachnellae (water mites) superfamilies resulting from a parsimony calculation is presented and discussed [(Hydryphantoidea (Hygrobatoidea (Wandesioidea (Hydrachnoidea (Hydrovolzioidea (Piersigioidea (Eylaoidea, Limnocharoidea) (Length = 13; Ci = 92; Ri = 87)]. The information for the data set was gained during the analysis of studies on body plans and segmental remnants in Hydrachnellae (Tuzovski 1987, Wiles 1997, Weigmann 2001). The concept of the superfamily Hygrobatoidea Koch, 1 824 {sensu Tuzovski 1 987) is confirmed in the present study by the above-mentioned analysis. The families Anisitsiellidae and Limnesiidae, in traditional systems (e.g.. Cook 1974) placed within two separate superfamilies, are both placed within the Hygrobatoidea in the system of Tuzovski (1987). This study proves that they are closely related to each other. Several years of investigations on the water mite fauna of the Himalayas have yielded new genera and species belonging to the Anisitsiellidae-Limnesiidae Complex, one of them intermediate between the families Anisitsiellidae and Limnesiidae. To resolve taxonomic contradictions in current systematics, a critical revision of the 132 species and 31 genera placed under the family Anisitsiellidae Koenike, 1910, is undertaken. The revision leads to the proposal of major changes in the taxonomic system, including the suggestion of a new family and two new subfamilies. The family Bandakiopsidae (fam. nov.) is proposed for 3 of the genera formerly placed under Anisitsiellidae {Bandakiopsis, Cookacarus, Oregonacariis). All the other Anisitsiellidae genera are included in one of the 3 following Limnesiidae subfamilies: Bandakiinae (subfam.nov), Bharatoniinae (subfam. nov.) and Anisitsiellinae (stat. nov.). From the material collected in India, 2 new genera {Shivatonia, Bharatoniinae, Limnesiidae, and /'^/(M'/z^, Anisitsiellinae, Limnesiidae) and 13 new species {Bandakiopsis phaliid, Bandakia curvipalpis, Bandakia gangetica, Bandakia himachali, Bandakia kulluensis, Utaxatax brahmeri, Utaxatax crassipalpis, Utaxatax gereckei, Utaxatax parvati, Shivatonia acetabulensis, Paddelia eichhorniae, Nilotonia cooki, and Nilotonia shivai) are described. New synonyms suggested include: Anisitsiellidae as junior synonym to Limnesiidae, Nilotoniinae as junior synonym to Anisitsiellinae, Mamersellides as junior synonym to Anisitsiella, Tadagatonia as junior synonym to Nilotonia,

Annexe, P.O. – I.S.M., Dhanbad – 826004, Jharkhand, India. E–mail: [email protected] Received 14 June 2015 │ Accepted 23 June 2015 │ Published online 25 June 2015. Abstract This paper is a compilation of the records for halacarid and pontarachnid mite species associated with mangroves. A total of 23 halacarid species (Acari: Halacaridae) belonging to the five genera Acarothrix, Agauopsis, Copidognathus, Isobactrus and Rhombognathus and six pontarachnid species (Acari: Pontarachnidae) belonging to the genus Litarachna are associated with various microhabitats of mangroves. Mites are found mainly in the algae and sediment covering pneumatophores and aerial roots. Key words: Checklist, Mangrove, Halacaridae, Pontarachnidae. Introduction Tidal mangrove forests cover a vast area of world’s coastlines and are precious resources for multiple economic and ecological reasons. As much as 39.3 million acres of mangrove forests are present along the warm-water coastlines of tropical oceans all over the world. However, mangroves are diminishing worldwide at a faster rate than other terrestrial forests, making them one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. Mangroves are habitats for a diverse aerial, terrestrial and marine fauna (Nagelkerken et al. 2008). Vast amounts of intertidal small fauna and meiofauna are associated with mangroves, mainly on turf growing on mangrove aerial roots and pneumatophores (e.g.

The larval morphology and host of the Australian water mite Limnochares australica (Acari: Hydrachnidia: Limnocharidae) Peter MartinI and Harry Smit2 1 Zoologisches Institut, Christian-Albrechts-Universitat zu Kiel, Olshausenstr. 40, D-24098 Kiel, Germany 2 Emmastraat 43-a, 1814 DM Alkmaar, The Netherlands Abstract - The present study deals with the larval morphology and host­ parasite association of Limnochares (Cyclothrix) australica, a water mite from standing waters throughout Australia. The larva can be separated from the other described Limnochares spp. larvae, including the other Cyclothrix species of the area L. (L.) crinita by its unusual leg claws. The larvae of Limnochares australica were found as parasites of the water strider Tenagogerris pallidus (Gerridae, Hemiptera, Insecta). Limnochares australica is the only known Cyclothrix species parasitizing Gerridae.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects
    NINE Phylum ARTHROPODA SUBPHYLUM HEXAPODA Protura, springtails, Diplura, and insects ROD P. MACFARLANE, PETER A. MADDISON, IAN G. ANDREW, JOCELYN A. BERRY, PETER M. JOHNS, ROBERT J. B.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

Spain. *Author for correspondence: Antonio G Valdecasas ([email protected]) Abstract The biogeography of organisms, particularly those with complex lifestyles that can affect dispersal ability, has been a focus of study for many decades. Most Hydrachnidia, commonly known as water mites, have a parasitic larval stage during which dispersal is predominantly host-mediated, suggesting that these water mites may have a wider distribution than non-parasitic species. However, does this actually occur? To address this question, we compiled and compared the geographic distribution of water mite species that have a parasitic larval stage with those that have lost it. We performed a bootstrap resampling analysis to compare the empirical distribution functions derived from both the complete dataset and one excluding the extreme values at each distribution tail. The results show differing distribution patterns between water mites with and without parasitic larval stages. However, contrary to expectation, they show that a wider geographic distribution is observed for a greater proportion of the species with a non-parasitic larval stage, suggesting a relevant role for non-host-mediated mechanisms of dispersal in water mites. Keywords: biogeography, water mites, non-parasitic larvae, parasitic larvae, worldwide distribution patterns Introduction Studies of the geographic distribution of organisms have greatly influenced our understanding of how species emerge and have provided arguments favoring the theory of evolution by natural selection proposed by Darwin (1859).

Tuzovsky Institute for Biology of Inland Waters, Russian Academy of Sciences, Borok, Nekouz. Distr., Yaroslavl Prov., Russia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This study presents a taxonomic review of water mite larvae of the genus Hydryphantes Koch, 1841 (Hydryphan- tidae) found in the fauna of Russia during the long-term survey period of 1974–2016. The review includes (re)descriptions and illustrations of 14 Hydryphantes species found in the country: H. clypeatus (Thor, 1899), H. crassipalpis Koenike, 1914, H. dispar (Schaub, 1888), H. hellichi Thon, 1899, H. ildensis Tuzovskij, 2016, H. nonundulatus Thon, 1899, H. octoporus Koenike, 1896, H. placationis Thon, 1899, H. planus Thon, 1899, H. prolongatus Thon, 1899, H. ruber (Geer, 1778), H. ruberoides Tuzovskij, 1990, H. samaricus Tuzovskij, 2014, and H. tenuipalpis Thor, 1899. KEY WORDS: Hydryphantidae, Hydryphantes, morphology, larvae, females, identification keys, Russia. DOI: 10.21684/0132-8077-2016-24-2-181-233 INTRODUCTION The word fauna of the genus Hydryphantes samaricus Tuzovskij, 2014 from Samara Province currently includes over 100 species and subspecies and Yaroslavl Province (Tuzovskij 2014), and H. (K. O. Viets 1987). The water mites of the genus ildensis Tuzovskij, 2016 from Yaroslavl Province are free-living in standing waters, also temporary (Tuzovskij 2016). In addition, three more species pools, ditches and rarely in running waters. From have been found in the territory of the Yaroslavl the territory of the former USSR, the following 19 Province: H.
