High Genetic Distance

In the present study we used morphological data and DNA barcodes to describe a new species, Hydrodroma angelieri sp. nov. from Corsica, France. A high genetic distance of 17.3±0.017% K2P from its molecularly most closely related European congener, H. despiciens (Müller, 1776), supports H. angelieri sp. nov. as a distinct species. Morphologically the new species can be identified on the basis of relatively small leg claws, the presence of only one swimming seta on II-L-5 and 4-6 swimming setae on the anterior surface of IV-L-5. An updated key for the European species of Hydrodroma is provided.

A new species, Ceratophysella stachi, from Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, and Ukraine is described based on morphological data and DNA barcodes. It belongs to a small European group of species with type B chaetotaxy and strong tegumentary granulation with distinct fields of coarse granules: C. granulata Stach, 1949, C. lawrencei (Gisin, 1963), C. neomeridionalis (Nosek & Červek, 1970), C. scotica (Carpenter & Evans, 1899), and C. silvatica Rusek, 1964. It differs from all of them in the chaetotaxy of lateral parts of thoracic terga II–III (setae m6 present and one additional seta outside lateral sensillum m7 present or absent) that is exceptional within the whole C. armata-group. Notes on closely related species C. granulata are also given.

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 Species

The assembly of a DNA barcode library for Australian Lepidoptera revealed that Oenochroma vinaria Guenée, 1858, as currently understood, is actually a mix of two different species. By analyzing DNA barcodes from recently collected specimens and the 150 year-old female lectotype of O. vinaria, we propose a reliable assignment of the name vinaria to one of these two species. A lectotype is designated for Monoctenia decora, a confirmed synonym of O. vinaria, and a new species, Oenochroma barcodificata sp. nov., is described. This species is only known from Tasmania and New South Wales; its biology and immature stages are described in detail.

Standing Waters

Water mite species of the genus Mideopsis Neuman, 1880 are common in running and standing waters in the Palaearctic. In the present study we used an integrative taxonomic approach by applying partial COI sequences (DNA-barcodes) and morphological characteristics to describe a new species, Mideopsis milankovici sp. nov. from the Mediterranean region of Montenegro. A high genetic distance (18.8-26% K2P) from three other known European congeners, M. crassipes Soar, 1904, M. orbicularis (Müller, 1776), and M. roztoczensis Biesiadka and Kowalik, 1979, support M. milankovici sp. nov. as a distinct species. From M. persicus Pešić and Saboori, 2015, a species known from South Iran, which resembles the new species in the shape of the ejaculatory complex, M. milankovici sp. nov. differs by the morphology of dorsal shield.

Time Of Collection

New findings of organismal dispersal by other organisms can help explain the distribution of species to remote places. In this work, I describe a male and a female of a new water mite species of the genus Arrenurus that were found in the crop of an Anas flavirostris duck near Cochabamba, Bolivia. Both specimens were complete; however, it is unknown if they were alive and, thus, potentially viable at the time of collection. This study also represents the first reported finding of water mites in a bird crop.

A new species of the genus Larsia Fittkau, 1962 is described based on the adult males. It is the first species of this genus reported from India and second member from the Oriental region. The DNA barcode of this new species is provided. The cladistic analysis of the known species of Larsia using morphological data of both immature and male adult stages have supported monophyly of the genus. A world key to the known males of the genus Larsia is presented here.

A New Species

Water mites of the genus Neumania have been found worldwide. In the present study we used morphological data and DNA barcoding to describe a new species of the genus Neumania, N. kyrgyzica sp. nov. from Kyrgyzstan. The results supported the genetic separation between the new species and species examined in this study (N. deltoides, N. imitata, N. limosa, N. spinipes and N. vernalis). The lowest K2P divergence (11.7%) was found between the new species and N. limosa (Koch, 1836), a species widely distributed in the Palaearctic region. Morphologically, the new species seems to be most similar to N. alticola (Stoll, 1887), an abundant and widespread species in the extreme northern Neotropics.
