We describe a new species of mite from Iran -Promacrolaelaps propomacrus sp. nov. (Acari: Laelapidae). The new spe-cies was collected in association with the beetle Propomacrus bimucronatus (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Euchiri-nae) in holes in the trunk of oak trees. The genus Promacrolaelaps is redescribed and distinguished from the related...

The present catalogue deals with the results of a survey carried out on available literature consisted of collected and identified mesostigmatic mites associated with different kinds of host/habitats in Iran. Some family, genera and species of mesostigmatic mites of Iran which were not included in the checklist provided by Kazemi and Rajaei, 2013 as well
as their distribution data are presented. Overall, a total of 371 species out of 127 genera belonging to 39 families were listed in the present paper. Consequently, the list of mesostigmatic mites reported from different parts of Iran was increased into 47 families, 172 genera and 620 species. It is also worth mentioning that Ololaelaps gamagarensis
Jordaan & Loots was considered as junior synonym of O. mooiensis Ryke and Pseudoparasitus talebii Nemati, Malekshahkoohi & Afshari, was considered as junior synonym of P. hajiqanbari Kazemi.
To understand the mitochondrial genome structure of two endangered and long-armed scarab beetles, Propomacrus davidi and Propomacrus bimucronatus, their complete mitogenomes were sequenced for the first time in this study. The complete mitogenomes of P. davidi and P. bimucronatus were 18, 042 bp and 18, 104 bp in length, respectively. The gene orders of their mitogenomes were highly consistent with other Coleopteran species, and the typical ATN was used as the start codon in most protein coding genes. The incomplete stop codon T was used in cox1, cox2, and nad5, and TAN was used as a complete stop codon in most protein coding genes. All predicted tRNAs could form a typical cloverleaf secondary structure, except that trnS1 lacked the dihydrouridine arm. Based on the maximum likelihood and the Bayesian inference methods, phylogenetic trees of 50 species were reconstructed. The results showed that P. davidi, P. bimucronatus, Cheirotonus jansoni and Cheirotonus gestroi clustered in the same branch, and were the most closely related. The results supported that subfamily Euchirinae is a monophyletic group of Scarabaeidae, which was consistent with the morphological classification. These molecular data enriched the complete mitogenome database of Euchirinae, and improved our understanding of the phylogenetic relationship and evolutionary characteristics of these two endangered species.
We present a summary of a long-awaited catalogue of species of Laelapidae that are free-living predators or associated with arthropods (Moraes et al., 2022). This primarily includes taxa previously treated as Hypoaspidinae, Melittiphinae and Iphiopsidinae.
The cosmopolitan mite family Laelapidae includes both free-living predatory species and species associated with arthropods, mammals or birds. This work presents a list of free-living and arthropod-associated species of laelapids, with corresponding taxonomic information and references. It includes 1088 species (in addition to three subspecies) assigned to 73 genera, 61 new combinations and two new synonymies at the generic level. Laelaps (Apolaelaps) Silvestri is raised to the generic level. Many of the species described before about 1950 are poorly characterised and cannot be classified with confidence at the family or generic level. Hence, ten genera, one subgenus, 121 species (ca. 70% of which were reported as Hypoaspis Canestrini or Laelaps (Hypoaspis) Canestrini) and one subspecies, are considered incertae sedis, because of their inadequate morphological characterisation in the literature. Some of these may not even belong to the Laelapidae or to the groups of interest for this publication. A total of 89 species, 30 genera, one subgenus, one tribe and one subfamily previously associated with genera treated in this catalogue are now placed in other families or, less commonly, in laelapid genera not considered here because they are considered essentially vertebrate parasites (taxa excluded). Twenty-six other species (one cited as a “variety”) are cited as nomina nuda. An illustrated key to the 73 genera included in the catalogue along with revised generic diagnoses are provided.
A checklist of the Acari type specimens deposited in the Jalal Afshar Zoological Museum (JAZM), Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tehran, Karaj, Iran is given. From a total of 451 type specimens (which comprises 166 valid species names) cited in the list, 164 are available and two are lost. Based on the comparison of these type specimens, the following taxonomic change is proposed in this paper: Erythraeus (Zaracarus) ueckermanni is considered as a valid species and is not a junior synonym of Erythraeus (Zaracarus) budapestensis.
A list of type depositories of new mite species published in two journals (Systematic & Applied Acarology and Zootaxa) during the last five years (2012–2016) is presented in this paper. The 1370 new species are deposited unevenly among 134 collections. The top collection is the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia (145 species), which alone accounts for 10% of the total new species, and the top ten collections accounted for 48% of the total. The average number of new species per collection is 10 and over three quarters of the collections are below the average. Just over half (51%) of the collections are in Europe. However, overall there were still more new species deposited in collections in developing counties (741) than developed countries (629). The top country for type depositories of new mite species for each continent is: Russia (199 species) for Europe, Brazil (134 species) for South America, Iran (133 species) for Asia, Australia (87 species) for Oceania, USA (80 species) for North America and South Africa (36 species) for Africa. The top European collections hold type specimens mostly of foreign origin, whereas those of South America, Asia, Africa and Australasia hold type specimens mostly originating from their own countries.
A survey of type localities of new species of the Parasitiformes described in two journals (Systematic & Applied Acarology and Zootaxa) during the last three years (2013-2015) revealed interesting patterns of species discovery. Taxonomically, the 142 new species are unevenly distributed among 24 families with the top three families accounting for over 61% of the total. The economically important Phytoseiidae is the top-ranked family. Geographically, the 142 new species of the Parasitiformes are described from 29 countries in the world. The pattern of distribution of these new species among the countries is highly uneven-over half of the new species (52.8%) are from the top 3 countries (Brazil, Iran and Turkey), whereas most countries (65.5%) have only 1-3 new species each.
