Notes on the genus Elegansovella Hirschmann, 1989 (Acari, Mesostigmata, Urodinychidae)
2024
Overview
The genus
Elegansovella
Hirschmann, 1989 (Mesostigmata: Uropodina: Urodinychidae) is resurrected for species of the
Uroobovella elegans
-group. This genus differs from the other taxa of
Uroobovella
Berlese, 1903 sensu lato based on the shape of the idiosoma and the caudal and dorsal setae. Three species from the
Uroobovella elegans
-group are transferred to the genus
Elegansovella
, as
E. pectintata
(Hirschmann, 1973),
comb. nov.
,
E. pectinatasimilis
(Hiramatsu, 1980),
comb. nov.
and
E. serangensis
(Hiramatsu, 1980),
comb. nov.
The other seven species from this species group are transferred to
Monstrobovella
gen. nov.
, as
M. crustosa
(Vitzthum, 1926),
comb. nov.
,
M. enodis
(Hiramatsu, 1985),
comb. nov.
,
M. faceta
(Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978),
comb. nov.
,
M. facetaoides
(Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978),
comb. nov.
,
M. imadatei
(Hiramatsu, 1980),
comb. nov.
,
M. incerta
(Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978),
comb. nov.
and
M. incertaoides
(Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978),
comb. nov.
The new genus differs from
Elegansovella
by the shape of the idiosoma and the shape of marginal and dorsal setae. Six
Monstrobovella
species occur in the Oriental Realm and only one species is known from the Neotropical region. The present paper contains the description of a second Neotropical species of
Monstrobovella
(
M. mancocapaci
sp. nov.
) which was found in Peru. The new species differs from its Neotropical congener in the dorsal and marginal setation.
