A Contribution to the Knowledge of Oribatid and Mesostigmatic Mites (Acari) with New Records in Georgia

As a result, the number of oribatid mites registered for Georgia increased to 548 and the preliminary number of Mesostigmata species to 136. For each record, diagnostic characters, coordinate data, habitat and information about regional and world distribution are provided. KEY WORDS: Biodiversity; Caucasus; checklist; Gamasina; Cryptostigmata. PAPER INFO.: Received: 20 March 2019, Accepted: 26 June 2019, Published: 15 October 2019 INTRODUCTION The Caucasus is one of the few temperate biodiversity hot-spots harboring great variety of habitats and species (Mittermeier et al. 2004). On the other hand, the information about most of invertebrate taxa is still insufficient to be used in practical applications like decision making for conservation or biomonitoring programs. The few exceptions include oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) which are the best-studied arthropod group in Georgia. According to a recent checklist by Murvanidze and Mumladze (2016), there were 534 oribatid species known for Georgia. -

Budapest, 2010, 41(2): 97–174 Hungarian acarological literature 1 2 2 E. HORVÁTH , J. KONTSCHÁN , and S. MAHUNKA . Abstract. The Hungarian acarological literature from 1801 to 2010, excluding medical sciences (e.g. epidemiological, clinical acarology) is reviewed. Altogether 1500 articles by 437 authors are included. The publications gathered are presented according to authors listed alphabetically. The layout follows the references of the paper of Horváth as appeared in the Folia entomologica hungarica in 2004. INTRODUCTION The primary aim of our compilation was to show all the (scientific) works of Hungarian aca- he acarological literature attached to Hungary rologists published in foreign languages. Thereby T and Hungarian acarologists may look back to many Hungarian papers, occasionally important a history of some 200 years which even with works (e.g. Balogh, 1954) would have gone un- European standards can be considered rich.

Feeding Design in Free-Living Mesostigmatid Chelicerae
Experimental and Applied Acarology (2021) 84:1–119 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10493-021-00612-8 REVIEW PAPER Feeding design in free‑living mesostigmatid chelicerae (Acari: Anactinotrichida) Clive E. Bowman1 Received: 4 April 2020 / Accepted: 25 March 2021 / Published online: 30 April 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract A model based upon mechanics is used in a re-analysis of historical acarine morphologi- cal work augmented by an extra seven zoophagous mesostigmatid species. This review shows that predatory mesostigmatids do have cheliceral designs with clear rational pur- poses. Almost invariably within an overall body size class, the switch in predatory style from a worm-like prey feeding (‘crushing/mashing’ kill) functional group to a micro- arthropod feeding (‘active prey cutting/slicing/slashing’ kill) functional group is matched by: an increased cheliceral reach, a bigger chelal gape, a larger morphologically estimated chelal crunch force, and a drop in the adductive lever arm velocity ratio of the chela. Small size matters. Several uropodines (Eviphis ostrinus, the omnivore Trachytes aegrota, Urodi- aspis tecta and, Uropoda orbicularis) have more elongate chelicerae (greater reach) than their chelal gape would suggest, even allowing for allometry across mesostigmatids. They may be: plesiosaur-like high-speed strikers of prey, scavenging carrion feeders (like long- necked vultures), probing/burrowing crevice feeders of cryptic nematodes, or small mor- sel/fragmentary food feeders. Some uropodoids have chelicerae and chelae which probably work like a construction-site mechanical excavator-digger with its small bucket. Possible hoeing/bulldozing, spore-cracking and tiny sabre-tooth cat-like striking actions are dis- cussed for others. -

B. HALLIDAY Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO, GPO Box 1700, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia. E-mail [email protected] Abstract This paper provides details of 300 genus-group names in the suborder Uropodina, including the superfamilies Microgynioidea, Thinozerconoidea, Uropodoidea, and Diarthrophalloidea. For each name, the information provided includes a reference to the original description of the genus, the type species and its method of designation, and details of nomenclatural and taxonomic anomalies where necessary. Twenty of these names are excluded from use because they are nomina nuda, junior homonyms, or objective junior synonyms. The remaining 280 available names appear to include a very high level of subjective synonymy, which will need to be resolved in a future comprehensive revision of the Uropodina. Key words: Acari, Mesostigmata, Uropodina, generic names, type species Introduction Mites in the Suborder Uropodina are very abundant in forest litter, but can also be found in large numbers in moss, under stones, in ant nests, in the nests and burrows made by vertebrates, and in dung and carrion. Most appear to be predators that feed on nematodes or other small invertebrates, but others may feed on living and dead fungi and plant tissue (Lindquist et al., 2009). -

A New Species of Pachyseius Berlese (Acari: Pachylaelapidae) from South Siberia (Russia), with a Key to the Species Known from Asia

MARCHENKO Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, Frunze str. 11, Novosibirsk 630091, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Pachyseius anisimovi sp. nov. is described based on specimens from soil and litter in the Altai Mountains and the West and East Sayan Mountains in South Siberia, Russia. A key to ten Pachyseius species known from Asia is provided. Key words: Acari, Mesostigmata, Pachylaelapidae, Pachyseius, new species, Russia, Siberia Introduction The small genus Pachyseius Berlese, 1910 belongs to the family Pachylaelapidae, which includes 16 genera and about 250 species world-wide (Mašán, 2007; Mašán & Halliday, 2014). Mites of the genus Pachyseius are free- living representatives of the soil fauna in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere (Mašán, 2008). The genus currently includes 20 recognised species distributed mainly throughout the Palaearctic Region, except that P. humeralis may have been introduced into Australia by human activities (Halliday, 2001) and unidentified species have been collected in northern Australia (Lindquist et al., 2009) and Canada (Broadbent & Tomlin, 1979). To the present 13 species of the genus Pachyseius have been described from Europe: Italy (Berlese, 1910), France (Willmann, 1935), Great Britain (Hyatt, 1956), Romania (Solomon, 1982; Mašán & Fenďa, 2014), Netherlands (Afifi & Nasr, 1984), Spain (Moraza, 1993), Slovakia (Mašán, 2007), Bulgaria (Mašán & Mihál, 2007) and Germany (Mašán, 2008). -
The Importance of Forest Islands for Invertebrate Biodiversity: a Case Study in Western Poland
Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle © 30 Juin Vol. LIV (1) pp. 263–281 «Grigore Antipa» 2011 DOI: 10.2478/v10191-011-0016-0 THE IMPORTANCE OF FOREST ISLANDS FOR INVERTEBRATE BIODIVERSITY: A CASE STUDY IN WESTERN POLAND TRAIAN MANOLE, JÓZEF BANASZAK, HALINA RATYÑSKA, IRINA IONESCU-MÃLÃNCUª, EUGENIA PETRESCU, GABRIELA MÃRGÃRIT Abstract. Ecological landscape studies are carried out concerning the ecosystem biocenosis restore and conservation and to define the ecological terms like “ecosystem services” which have increasingly caught the interest of both environmental researchers and policy makers. Ecosystems, if properly protected and maintained, provide a wide array of valuable services to humans, ranging from the air purification by carbon sequestration to preserve biodiversity of natural capital. The agricultural landscape predominating in Western and Central Europe occupies a significant place in Poland deciding, to a large extent, about the quality of the whole natural environment. Forest island studies were carried out in the agricultural landscape of Western Poland, 15 km north-east of Poznañ town. Ten forest islands of varying size (from 0.5 ha to 1.5 ha) were investigated. Flora and plant communities of small forests were examined and 58 plant associations were found. Small areas of forest islands became the refuges of forest plant species and invertebrate fauna in an agricultural landscape. Differentiation, number and domination structure of invertebrate fauna (Acari, Araneae, Apoidea and Curculionidae) were studied. The studied forest islands provide suitable conditions for survival and reproduction of many animal species, and for other accidental species which use these areas for feeding or as a temporary shelter. -
