Novichkova1,2 1Lomonosov Moscow State University, Biological Faculty, Moscow, Russia 2Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia *corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper presents the first results of a study on the aquatic mites (Acari) from the inland water bodies of West Spitsbergen, Svalbard. Six mite species have been found: namely, the oribatids Camisia foveolata Hammer, 1955 and Ameronothrus lineatus (Thorell, 1871); the gamasid mite Halolaelaps sp.; as well as the halacarids Halacarellus sp., Isobactrus levis (Viets, 1927) and Rhombognathides spinipes (Viets, 1933). The latter two species are new to the fauna of Svalbard. No true freshwater mites (Hydrachnidia) have been identified. A preliminary comparison of the inland aquatic acarofauna of Svalbard with the fauna of other Arctic regions has been conducted. The entire halacarid mite fauna of Svalbard (13 species), including both inland water species and true marine ones from the surrounding seas, can be characterized as rather regionally specialized and mainly cryophilic. KEY WORDS: Halacaridae, Oribatida, Mesostigmata, new records, geographical range, High Arctic, amphibious species, eury- haline species, freshwater species.

It is redescribed herein with detailed illustrations. Korean specimens coincide well with the original description, however, they showed two minor morphological discrepancies from it: quite shorter second palpal segment than the fourth and a modified dorsal seta on the second palpal segment. Korean specimens were rather smaller than the type specimens from Hong Kong, however, they did not show significant differences in the length to width ratios of important body parts. The number of perigenital setae was more variable in the Korean males, ranged 24-29 setae, versus 25-26 in Hong Kong’s. Copidognathus daguilarensis is reported for the first time outside the type locality, and joins as the second member of the gibbus group in the northwest Pacific.

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.

Located at a high latitude and geographically isolated, the archipelago possesses widely varying environmental conditions and unique flora and fauna communities. It is also here where particularly rapid environmental changes are occurring, having amongst the fastest increases in mean air temperature in the Arctic. One of the most common and species-rich invertebrate groups in Svalbard is the mites (Acari). We here describe the characteristics of the Svalbard acarofauna, and, as a baseline, an updated inventory of 178 species (one Ixodida, 36 Mesostigmata, 43 Trombidiformes, and 98 Sarcoptiformes) along with their occurrences.

Biodiversity Data Journal 5: e21206. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.5.e21206 Abstract Background The Mantispidae are a distinctive group of Neuroptera known for the adults’ possession of raptorial forelegs. There are four recognised, extant subfamilies of Mantispidae: the Mantispinae, Symphrasinae, Calomantispinae and Drepanicinae. The life history and larval behaviour of the subfamily Mantispinae is best known: the immatures are spider egg predators. Among the three remaining subfamilies, larval Symphrasinae and Calomantispinae most likely predate on other small arthropods, while the immature life history of Drepanicinae, until now, remained completely unknown. New information Here we provide observations of annual, near-synchronised, mass emergences of adults of the drepanicine, Ditaxis biseriata (Westwood), within a well-established Macadamia orchard in northern New South Wales, Australia.

The three larval instars display varying degrees of hypermetamorphic ontogeny. The larval stages exhibit a remarkable life history ranging from specialised predators of nest-building hymenopteran larvae and pupa, to specialised predators of spider-eggs, to possible generalist predators of immature insects. Noteworthy advances in our understanding of the biology of Mantispidae has come to light over the past two decades which are compiled and addressed in this review. All interactions of mantispids with other arthropods are tabled and their biology critically discussed and compared to the current classification of the taxon. Additionally, the ambigous systematics within Mantispidae and between Mantispidae and its sister groups, Rhachiberothi- dae and Berotidae, is reviewed. Considering the biology, systematics, distribution of higher taxonomic levels and the fossil record, the historical biogeography of the group is critically discussed with Gondwana as the epicenter of MantispidaeUncorrected radiation.

Postal 70-153, 04510 México, D.F., Mexico 2Corresponding autor; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Taxonomic and biological knowledge of Mexican Mantispidae is summarized. Knowledge on this insect group in Mexico is only fragmentary, particularly in regard to life history. Currently, 23 valid species and three morphospecies have been recorded. Morphospecies of Plega (2) and Trichoscelia (1) probably represent undescribed species. Known species diversity is distributed in the genera Plega (10), Trichoscelia (4), Zeugomantispa (3), Climaciella (2), Dicromantispa (2), Nolima (2), Entanoneura (1), Leptomantispa (1), and Xeromantispa (1). Few studies treat the taxonomy of Mexican mantispids. Studies are required for the partially revised Plega and Trichoscelia, while a taxonomic revision of Nolima is close to completion. In regard to biology, it is known that members of Plega and Trichoscelia are predators of some hymenopterans. Mating behavior of one species of Trichoscelia has also been documented.
