The number of described species on the planet is about 1.9 million, with ca. 17,000 new annually, mostly from tropics. However, taxonomy usually as a science in crisis, lacking manpower and funding, politically acknowledged problem known Taxonomic Impediment. Using data Fauna Europaea database Zoological Record, we show that contrary to general belief, developed heavily-studied parts world are important reservoirs unknown species. In Europe, multicellular terrestrial freshwater animals being...
The tarsonemid mites from soil and plants were explored in a faunistic study of East Azerbaijan province, Northwestern Iran. Our investigation revealed 22 species the genus Tarsonemus Canestrini Fanzago, 1876, its nominative subgenus, including lenticulatus sp. nov., which is described illustrated herewith. New records for fauna Asia are: bognari Nemestothy Mahunka, 1981, T. oncodes Kaliszewski, 1993, ravus saccatus Livshitz, Mitrofanov Sharonov, 1979, scharschmidti 1970, varsoviensis 1993...
Mites of the genus Neotarsonemoides Kaliszewski, 1984 (Acariformes: Tarsonemoidea: Tarsonemidae) were collected in East Azerbaijan province, Northwestern Iran. (N.) marandicus sp. nov. is described and illustrated. Other species include: evae Magowski, 2002 , N. multiplex (Kaliszewski, 1983) occultus which represent first records these outside their type locality. polonicus (Willmann, 1949) (Ototarsonemus) alatus (Livshits, Mitrofanov Sharonov,1979) are new for fauna Asia, as well record...
Despite recent great interest in glacier ecosystems the continental Antarctic, little is known about their maritime counterparts. Our study presents descriptive data on cryoconite sediments and holes Ecology Glacier (King George Island) to accomplish three main objectives: (a) identify eukaryotic (algae, invertebrates) prokaryotic (cyanobacteria) components of microbial communities; (b) provide a "baseline" community composition, organic matter artificial contamination; (c) key abiotic...
A new genus for the tribe Pseudotarsonemoidini of family Tarsonemidae is established in order to accommodate undescribed mites associated with bark beetles Mexico. The new, monotypic Ochyronemus, type species O. jaliscoe being diagnostically and phylogenetically closest derived Pseudotarsonemoides-Tarsobisulcus cluster Pseudotarsonemoidini, possesses an intermediate position between these two genera. Details morphology related its genus-level affiliation, primarily tibiotarsal I claw leg...
The authors give a report on the results of regular mite collectings made between 1990 and 2003 ornamental trees shrubs, streets, in parks, green spaces housing estates, botanical gardens private gardens, various localities Hungary. This survey also covers material collected soft fruit orchards vineyard, winter barley wheat field by Malaise-trap, nature conservation area (xerothermic grassland) D-Vac (vacuum insect sampler) stored plants. Representatives 31 families were identified. Out 113...
New records of ten species (total 109 specimens) ptyctimous mites collected from a mountain forest in the Peruvian Andes are presented. Five these new for science: Mesotritia andensis Niedbała sp. nov., Austrophthiracarus conchamarcensis A. pachiteaensis Notophthiracarus churubambensis nov. and N. quasipedanos Acrotritia ischnos (Niedbała, 2004) is recorded first time Peru; besides, split into two groups different body sizes population curviseta (Hammer, 1961).
Ununguitarsonemus rarus (Acari: Tarsonemidae), a new mite species phoretic on Dryocoetes villosus (Fabr.) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) from Crimea, Ukraine is described and illustrated. Another species, U. peacocki Smiley et Moser, 1974, briefly redescribed. Systematic position of the taxon discussed diagnosis genus emended. Key words: Heterostigmata, systematic, taxonomy, morphology. UNUNGUITARSONEMUS RARUS (ACARI: TARSONEMIDAE) N. SP. FORETICA SU DRYOCOETES VILLOSUS (COLEOPTERA: SCOLYTIDAE)...
The Tarsonemus minimax species-group is established for bark beetle commensals of the genus Canestrini and Fanzago, 1876. T. minimaxVitzthum 1926 redescribed, two new species, terebrans typographi n. spp., are described illustrated. A diagnostic key to species supplied. systematic status discussed. Biogeography associations with insect hosts fungi reviewed.
The study provides the list of soil mites from suborder Prostigmata in selected habitats Morasko Campus Adam Mickiewicz University Poznań. Representatives 21 families belonging to 58 genera and 139 species were found 20 collected samples. One family, 11 26 are new fauna Poland two Europe.

Anne M. Camerik, Wojciech Ł. Magowski, Peter G. Hawkes, Edward A. Ueckermann, Ronald Ochoa, and Gary R. Bauchan (2016) A new species of relatively poorly known genus Zambedania Mahunka, 1972 was found on the baboon spider, Harpactirella overdijki Gallon, 2010 (Araneae: Theraphosidae) in South Africa. Besides abundantly available phoretic females, several males one larva this spiders' nests were also collected. sekhukhunensis n. sp. is described illustrated based larva. Improved diagnosis a...
The genus Neoprotereunetes Fain et Camerik, 1994 is revised and its definition extended in order to incorporate some species of the invalid Protereunetes Berlese, 1923. former type Neoprotereunetes-Ereunetes lapidarius Oudemans, 1906 redescribed transferred Filieupodes Jesionowska, 2010 (Cocceupodidae); Proterunetes boerneri designated new species. Two groups are proposed embrace Arctic Antarctic species, respectively. paulinae Gless, 1972 redescribed, whereas maudae Strandtmann, 1967...
Protophthiracarus afthonos sp. nov. is described and illustrated using line drawings, transmitted light SEM imaging. It characterized by an extraordinary richness of notogastral setae (ca. 166 pairs) that has been previously unseen among phthiracaroid mites. The species originates from the material collected litter primary forest in Peruvian Andes. genus well represented Neotropical Region. Many ptyctimous mites have found Peru, representing both widespread endemic biogeographic elements....
Female, physogastric female and male of Picobia polonica sp. n. collected from the domestic hen Gallus gallus domesticus (L.) in Poland are described phenomenon physogastry this related species is briefly discussed. similar to khulkhshani (Kivganov et Sharafat, 1995). These two can be distinguished by following characters: P. polonica: chelicerae dentate, each with three minute teeth; setae g1 pg2 subequal length; ratio pg1 : pg2, 3: 1. khulkhshani: edentate; twice shorter than pg2; 1.6:
