Diapterobates

Diapterobates notatus, from the UNIS University Centre in Svalbard.


Belongs within: Ceratozetoidea.

Diapterobates is a genus of oribatid mites found in the Holarctic region (Subías 2004). The type species Diapterobates humeralis has been studied as a control agent for the hemlock woolly adelgid Adelges tsugae, as in the process of feeding on the woolly filaments covering this insect's ovisacs it tends to dislodge and destroy the eggs themselves.

Characters (from Balogh & Balogh 1992): Prodorsum with lamellae and translamella present; sensillus short with dilated head. Notogaster with thirteen pairs of setae; four pairs of areae porosae; areae porosae Aa elongate, thrice or more as long as wide; pteromorphae immovable. Six pairs of genital setae; one pair of aggenital setae; two pairs of anal setae; three pairs of adanal setae. Legs tridactyle.

Protoribates (Protoribates)

Protoribates lophothrichus, copyright R. Penttinen.


Belongs within: Haplozetidae.

The type subgenus of the genus Protoribates is a cosmopolitan group of oribatid mites (Subías 2004), albeit one of uncertain composition owing to confusion over the identity of the type species. True Protoribates have movable pteromorphs and had previously been referred to by the junior name Xylobates (Colloff & Halliday 1998).

Characters (from Balogh & Balogh 1992a, as Protoribates and Xylobates): Prodorsum with lamellae present, translamella absent; interlamellar setae long. Dorsosejugal suture present. Notogaster smooth; ten pairs of notogastral setae short but present; four pairs of areae porosae; areae porosae Aa, A2 and A3 round; pteromorphs well developed, movable. Four to six pairs of genital setae; one pair of aggenital setae; two pairs of anal setae; three pairs of adanal setae. Legs monodactyle.

Haplozetidae

Female Rostrozetes ovulum, copyright B. Eamer.

The Haplozetidae are a group of oribatid mites with well-developed, hinged pteromorphs. Members have been divided between separate families Haplozetidae and Xylobatidae or Protoribatidae based on whether the octotaxic system is composed of (respectively) sacculi or areae porosae, but this was not regarded as significant by Norton & Behan-Pelletier (2009). The Oriental species Cribrozetes multiareolatus has the usual four pairs of areae porosae disassembled into 14–18 pairs of areae porosae rougly grouped in the original position. The dorsosejugal suture is absent in the genus Perxylobates (Balogh & Balogh 1992a). Six pairs of genital setae are present in Sicaxylobates, Afroleius, Paraxylobates, Pilobates and Pilobatella; other genera have less.

Characters (from Norton & Behan-Pelletier 2009): Length 250–650µm. Subcapitulum diarthric; chelicerae chelate-dentate. Notogaster with octotaxic system of porose areas or saccules; pteromorphs well developed, with hinge; insertions of adductor muscles for pteromorphs evident on notogaster; posterior notogastral tectum absent. Podotectum II present; circumpedal carina complete. Genital and anal plates separated by more than half length of genital plate; aggenital setae present; postanal porose area absent. Femora III and IV each with one porose area; solenidion σ present on genu III.

Paraphauloppia (Paraphauloppia)

Dorsal (left) and ventral views of Paraphauloppia novaezealandica, from Balogh & Balogh (1992 vol. 2).


Belongs within: Oribatulidae.

The type subgenus of the genus Paraphauloppia is a group of oribatulid mites found in Australasia and the Americas (Subías 2004).

Characters (from Balogh & Balogh 1992): Prodorsum with well developed lamellae; translamella absent; sublamellar line absent. Dorsosejugal suture medially interrupted; basal part of dorsosejugal suture directed inward, almost horizontal. Notogaster with ten pairs of setae; four pairs of areae porosae; pteromorphae absent. Genital plates with three pairs of extremely small alveoli; one pair of aggenital setae; two pairs of anal setae; three pairs of adanal setae. Legs tridactyle.

Oribatula (Zygoribatula)

Oribatula exilis, copyright R. Penttinen.


Belongs within: Oribatulidae.

The subgenus Zygoribatula of the genus Oribatula is a cosmopolitan group of oribatulid mites, typically distinguished from the closely allied Oribatula by the presence of a translamella connecting the prodorsal lamellae. However, the reliability of this feature has been called into question (and its presence may vary between individuals of a single species) so the composition of Zygoribatula requires re-investigation. The genus Fovoribatula, previously recognised as a distinct genus for two Australian species with reduced leg chaetotaxy, was not accepted as distinct by Subías (2004), albeit the latter did not explain his reasons for this decision.

Characters (from Lee 1992): Proteronotum with lamellate translamella and lamella, subparallel pair of lamellae, medium size to long, distance between lamellar seta (z1) and dorsosejugal furrow greater than 1.5 times distance between interlamellar seta j2 and bothridium of sensory seta z2. Thirteen or fourteen pairs of short to medium, smooth or weakly ciliate hysteronotal setae; humeral setae (Z1, S1) similar in size and shape to other hysteronotal setae (rarely Z1 stouter and more ciliate, but still subequal in length or smaller). Genital shield with four pairs of setae.
