Xenotarsonemus spiniphorus

description: Xenotarsonemus spiniphorus Lofego, Moraes & Ochoa
Xenotarsonemus spiniphorus Lofego, Moraes & Ochoa, 2007: 11.
Specimens examined: Cananéia (SP): Gomidesia sp., VII-2012 (19 ♀, 1 ♂); Blefarocalix salicifolium, I-2013 (2 ♀).
Previous reports: São Paulo —Natural ecosystems (Cerrado): Campomanesia pubescens and Myrcia venulosa (Lofego et al. 2007); Natural ecosystems (Atlantic Forest): Trichillia casaretti (Demite et al. 2013) and on plant not mentioned (Demite et al. 2012).
Among the 14 species nominally determined in this study, seven of these (F. pulvirosus, M, megassolenidii, T. bilobatus, T. confusus, X. brachytegula, X. cerrado and X. spniphorus) were also found in the Cerrado biome (Lofego & Moraes, 2006; Demite et al. 2009; Rezende et al. 2014). This similarity between the tarsonemids fauna in these two biomes is an unexpected fact, since they are structurally quite different biomes; the Atlantic Forest is a tropical forest, and the Cerrado is a savanna (IBGE 2012).
The remaining vegetation of the Atlantic Forest shelters a great diversity of tarsonemids, many still new to science. In the present study, the sampling was only a small portion of the entire diversity of the Atlantic Forest (eight sampling areas, with only five plant species from the same family were sampled at each area) and a considerable richness of tarsonemids species was found. In this study, of the identified species, six (40%) were unknown until recently to science (D. esalqi, K. ochoai, M. caissara, O. dux, X. quiriri, X. scorpius) (Lofego et al. 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, Rezende et al. 2015b), in addition to the one described here (Tarsonemus conduru Lofego & Cavalcante sp. nov.). A great richness of tarsonemid was also recorded in the Atlantic Forest biome by Demite et al. (2012), in a more restricted area in the interior of the São Paulo state, but with a larger sampling, where 100 plant species from several botanical families were collected in 18 areas. In that study, Tarsonemidae was the second family with the highest richness (47 species).
The data from the present study reveal the impressive richness of the family Tarsonemidae in the Atlantic Forest; and indicate how much further efforts are needed to better understand the diversity in this hotspot.

Diagnosis. The species is often confused with L. salicis due to the similarity of superficial characters, but can be easily separated from the latter by the following characters: main stem of antenna white, with a black-brown stripe; vesica of aedeagus with numerous minute denticles; female genitalia with a M-shaped signum within bursa.

Diagnosis. The species is very superficially simiar to L. ochripes, but can be distinguished from the latter by tarsi pale yellow, with white band terminally; pectionations of antennae dark-brown. The species is also similar to L. impressa (Snellen, 1877) in male genitalia, but can be easily separated from the latter by the right valva longer than the left one, without bifurcation at cucullus.

Leucoma parallela: Chao, 2003: 283.
Diagnosis. The species is often confused with L. impressa, L. calra (Walker, 1865) and L. chrysoscela due to similar wing patterns, but can be easily separated from them by forewings with three silvery white, parallel oblique bands; valvae broad at basal half, divided into two wide lobes at distal half; aedeagus with four digitate projections, among which one is densely covered with short spines.
