A New Species

A new species of Cladocera, Alona begoniae sp. nov. (Anomopoda: Chydoridae) was found in ancient Lake Ohrid. Its habitus and outer morphology is similar to one of the most common Palearctic species, Coronatella rectangula (Sars, 1862), and this can be the main reason why it has remained undiscovered. A. begoniae sp. nov. belongs to the elegans-group of Alona s. lato, a relict genus-level group not formally recognised yet as a separate taxonomical unit. Its habitat seem to be sandy and stony substrates (at 2–12 m depth) bare of vegetation. The position of this new species within the Alona-like anomopods is evaluated and similarities with other cladocerans in ancient lakes are discussed.

Mite Genus

The water mite genus Wettina has a Holarctic distribution and includes only one known species from the Palaearctic, i.e. W. podagrica (Koch, 1837). This species has been considered as a rhitrobiontic and crenophilous species. In the present study we used morphological data and DNA barcoding to describe a new species of the genus, W. lacustris sp. nov. from the glacial Biogradsko Lake in northern Montenegro. The level of COI differentiation between lake population of Wettina lacustris sp. nov. and stream and spring populations of W. podagrica from Western Europe (The Netherlands) was 8.4%. It is likely that Wettina lacustris sp. nov. is more widely distributed in the Palaearctic.

A new water mite, Mideopsis persicus n. sp. (Mideopsidae), is described from South Iran. The new species closely resembles M. orbicularis from which differs in the shape of male ejaculatory and habitat preference. Furthermore, a key for the identification of species of the genus Mideopsis Neuman, 1880, from the Western Palaearctic is given.

The otocepheid oribatid mite genus Leptotocepheus Balogh, 1961 is recorded in the Australasian region for the first time. The taxonomic status of the genera Leptotocepheus Balogh, 1961 and Longocepheus Balogh & Mahunka,1966 is discussed, resulting in the recognition of Longocepheus as a subgenus (stat. nov.) of Leptotocepheus and the following recombinations: Leptotocepheus (Longocepheus) australis (Balogh & Mahunka, 1966) comb. nov., Leptotocepheus (Longocepheus) globosus (Grobler, 1995) comb. nov., Leptotocepheus (Longocepheus) longus (Balogh, 1961) comb. nov., Leptotocepheus (Longocepheus) youngai (Mahunka, 1984) comb. nov. A new species of Leptotocepheus (Longocepheus) is described from New Zealand, Leptotocepheus (Longocepheus) neozealandicus sp. nov., which differs from other species of the subgenus by the presence of short, slightly developed prodorsal costulae. Revised generic and subgeneric diagnoses, an identification key and distributions for the known taxa of Leptotocepheus are presented.
