The subgenus Marquesania Womersley (Acari : Atopomelidae : Listrophoroides) is revised. The species of this subgenus are permanent parasites living in the fur of rats (Rodentia : Murinae) in the Oriental region, Australia and New Guinea. Most of the type material has been examined. Two new species, Listrophoroides melomys, sp. nov. from Melomys moncktoni (Thomas) and L. mordax, sp. nov. from Rattus mordax (Thomas) are described from New Guinea. A new diagnosis of the subgenus Marquesania, detailed descriptions, and a key for all species is provided. The phylogenetic reconstruction of the subgenus Marquesania was effected by the method of parsimonius cladistics. The monophyly of the subgenus is strongly supported by this analysis, and most species from the Oriental region fall at the base of the cladogram. The distribution of Marquesania species on their hosts is discussed. It is suggested that these mites originated in the Oriental region and then migrated to Australia and New Guinea. The distribution of Marquesania species in the Australian and New Guinean regions is noticeably complicated, reflecting the complex settling history of their hosts.

New Synonymy

The dung beetle genus Parachorius Harold, 1873 (= Cassolus Sharp, 1875) belongs to the monotypic tribe Parachoriini Tarasov, 2017 and includes 19 species from the Oriental and southeastern Palaearctic Regions (Tarasov 2017). Two recent studies (Ochi et al. 2017a, b) described two new species of this genus from Laos and Sumatra. The investigation of detailed descriptions and illustrations from those studies and their assessment in the light of the recent revision of Parachorius (Tarasov 2017) revealed that those new species are synonyms of earlier described ones: P. javanus (Boucomont, 1914) = P. singgalangensis Ochi, Kon & Hartini, 2017, new synonymy, and P. fukiensis (Balthasar, 1960) = C. laosensis Ochi, Kon & Higurashi, 2017, new synonymy. Unfortunately, this oversight happened because the authors of those new species did not check the type material of already described taxa.

Biogeographic Analysis

AbstractThe genus Eudasyphora Townsend 1911 is resurrected from junior synonymy and recognized with the genera Dasyphora Robineau-Desvoidy 1830 and Pyrellia Robineau-Desvoidy 1830. Rypellia Malloch 1932 is a subgenus of Eudasyphora, but Dasypyrellia Lobanov 1976 is reported as synonym novum. A key to the species of Eudasyphora is presented. Two new species are described: E. cordilleriana n. sp. from western North America, and E. canadiana n. sp. from northern North America. The phylogenetic and biogeographic analysis led to the following conclusions: Eudasyphora became separated from its sister genus Pyrellia before the beginning of the Pleistocene glaciations. The Rypellia line evolved further in the Oriental Region, whereas the Eudasyphora s. str. line developed in the Holarctic Region. Speciation in both subgenera is correlated with the history of the forest vegetation during the Pleistocene.

The material on which this paper is based was received by Prof. R. T. Leiper from several sources, and includes specimens collected in British Guiana by the Filariasis Commission, in West Africa by Dr. Yale Massey, and in New Guinea by Dr. G. M. Heydon. In addition there was a tube received from Dr. O'Connor from Samoa labelled on the outside of the bottle “Pig, Samoa, Ank. Duod. from intestine,” and inside (presumably by Dr. Clayton Lane) “Crassisoma samoense.” It contained specimens of the latter species only. The type material of Lane's two new species from the pig was also available for examination.

A new genus, Hoyicoccus Williams & Kozár gen. n., and two new species, Hoyicoccus hendersonae Kozár & Williams and Eriococcus szentivanyi Kozár & Williams are described from Sabah, Malaysia. In addition, the genus Sangicoccus Reyne is discussed: Sangicoccus truncatispinus (Reyne) is redescribed and two new species, namely Sangicoccus morrisoni Kozár & Konczné Benedicty and Sangicoccus reynei Kozár & Konczné Benedicty, are described. Sangicoccus is now known off palms from Irian Jaya and Sulawesi in Indonesia, and from the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. A key is provided for the separation of the known species of Sangicoccus.

This paper gives a systematic revision of feather mites of the genera Dubininia Vassilev, 1958 and Cacatualges Dabert, Badek and Skoracki, 2007 (Xolalgidae: Ingrassiinae) associated with parrots (Aves: Psittaciformes) of the Old World. Five new species are described: Cacatualges probosciger sp. n. from Probosciger aterrimus (Gmelin) (Cacatuidae) from New Guinea, Dubininia charmosynae sp. n. from Charmosyna pulchella Gray GR (Psittaculidae) from New Guinea, D. micropsittae sp. n. from Micropsitta pusio pusio (Scaltter) (Psittaculidae) from New Guinea, D. nestori sp. n. from Nestor notabilis Gould (Strigopidae) from New Zealand, and D. pezopori sp. n. from Pezoporus wallicus (Kerr) (Psittaculidae) from Tasmania, Australia. Four previously described species of Dubininia are redescribed based on material from type hosts: D. curta (Trouessart, 1885) from Platycercus elegans (Gmelin) (Psittaculidae), D. lorina (Trouessart, 1885) from Lorius domicella (Linnaeus) (Psittaculidae), D. melopsittaci Atyeo and Gaud, 1987 from Melopsittacus undulatus (Shaw) (Psittaculidae), and D. psittacina (Trouessart, 1885) from Strigops harboptilus Gray GR (Strigopidae) from New Zealand. A new diagnosis for the genus Dubininia is provided. A key to all presently known Dubininia species is provided for the first time.
