description: Zygoneura (Pharetratula) yangi Shah & Huang sp. nov.
(Figs 13A–D)
Material examined. Holotype: 1♂, China, Xizang Province, Renqingbenglukou, 29°19’51.6’’ N, 95°14’16.8’’ E, 1049 m a.s.l., 1.VI.2019, leg. Qicheng Yang [ZAFUXZ272].
Description. Male. Head (Fig. 13A). Head and antenna light brown, maxillary palpus light brown. Eye bridge broad, with 4–5 rows of facets. Face with 5–6 setae. Maxillary palpus with three segments, basal segment with four setae, with an indistinct sensory fossa; 2nd segment with five setae; 3rd segment long with six setae (Fig. 13A). Fourth antennal flagellomere much longer than wide, length/width = 2.65, body with mostly short setae and with a row of distinctly elongated setae near the neck (Fig. 13C). Wing with anterior veins slightly darker than posterior veins, membrane without macrotrichia. M1, M2, CuA1, CuA2, r-m with no setae. stM faintly visible in the specimen. Legs stramineous. Apex of fore tibia with a short comb-like row of setae. Tarsal claws three-toothed. Hypopygium (Figs 13C–D) yellowish brown. The gonocoxae almost as long as gonostyli, outer and inner margins sparsely setose, ventral medial margin with two groups of weak setae. The gonostylus (Figs 13C–D) stout, with two megasetae of almost equal length; one on dorsal side at the apical third and the other on ventral side near the middle, apex with dense short setosity. Tegmen membranous, wider than high, apically rounded. Aedeagus dark brown, slender (Fig. 13C).
Etymology. The species epithet ‘ yangi ’ refers to Qicheng Yang, who collected the type specimen.
Remarks. The new species can easily be distinguished from other closely related species of the subgenus by the typical gonostylus with two megasetae of almost equal length; one on the dorsal side at the apical third and the other on the ventral side near the middle (Figs 13C–D). In addition, the holotype of this species is in poor condition (especially wings and legs), and all possible diagnostic characters were carefully examined, and their images were added to the figure plate for visual evidence.
Distribution. China: Xizang (this study).

Type locality. China: Sichuan Province, Yaan.
Type Material. Holotype (1♂) in Coll. ZAFU (China).
Material examined. Holotype [SM00946], 1♂, Sichuan province, Yaan, Labahe, 1200m, 29°59′ N, 102°59′ E, 16.VII.2006, leg. Xiao-Ling Niu.
Additional description. Male. Head brown, antenna and maxillary palpus yellowish brown. Eye bridge four facets wide. Face with 7–8 setae. Maxillary palpus with three segments (Fig. 14B). Fourth antennal flagellomere 3.5 times as long as wide, body with long subequal setae (Fig. 14D). Thorax brown. Wing membrane without macrotrichia (Zhang et al. 2010: 46, Fig. 3D), anterior veins slightly darker than posterior veins. M 1, M 2, CuA 1, CuA 2, r-m with no setae. stM faintly visible in the specimen. Legs (Fig. 14A) yellowish. Tarsal claws three-toothed. Hypopygium (Fig. 14C) yellowish brown. Gonocoxae longer than gonostyli, ventral medial margin with two weakly visible groups of setae. Gonostylus (Fig. 14C) somewhat oval, with three megasetae at the apical third. Tegmen membranous, wider than high. Aedeagus long and slender (Fig. 14C). For detailed description, see Zhang et al. (2010).
Remarks. Only holotype seen, 1♂ paratype [SM00947] is lost. This species resembles Z. (Zygoneura) sciarina Meigen in the gonostylus with three megasetae. However, it can easily be diagnosed by the oval shape gonostylus, and the position of the three megasetae is completely different as compared to the latter species (Fig. 14C).
Distribution. China: Sichuan, Xizang (Zhang et al. 2010).

description: Genus Gabucinia Oudemans, 1905
Type species: Pterolichus delibatus Robin, 1877 (in Robin & Mégnin), by original designation.
The genus currently comprises three valid species, including the new one described below, all of them associated with passerines of the family Corvidae (Gaud & Atyeo 1975): Gabucinia delibata (Robin, 1877) described from Corvus corone Linnaeus, 1758 and recorded from many other corvids of the genera Corvus Lin- naeus, Coloeus Kaup and Pica Brisson across the Holarctic region (Canestrini & Kramer 1899; Radford 1953, 1958; Gaud & Till 1961; Jones 1968; Gaud & Atyeo 1975; Kapoor & Kaur 1975; Mironov 1996, 1997; Zamec & Fenda 2012; Galloway et al. 2014, Negm & Hassan 2019), and G. gladiscapulata Gaud, 1960 from Corvus albicollis Latham, 1790 in Africa (Gaud 1960). One more species, Gabucinia urogalli (Nörner, 1883), described from the western capercaillie Tetrao urogallus Linnaeus, 1758 (Galliformes: Phasianidae) in Europe, has also been referred by Dubinin (1956) to this genus. This host association is quite uncommon for mites of the genus Gabucinia; until this species is re-examined, either from the type specimens or those recollected from the type host, it is reasonable to treat it as a species inquirenda. An undetermined species of Gabucinia was reported on Milvago chimango chimango (Vieillot, 1816) (Falconidae) from Chile (Órdenes et al. 2005), but this is quite certainly a genus misidentification.

Comments: We follow Auffenberg et al. (2004) in synonymizing Altiphylax boehmei with A. stoliczkai. The specific distinctness of A. yarkandensis remains uncertain (Khan 1994; Auffenberg et al. 2004). We follow Das et al. (1998) and Auffenberg et al. (2004) in regarding the origin of the types of this species as Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir rather than Yarkand, Xinijang, China. We accept Sindaco & Jeremčenko’s (2008) proposed movement of A. levitoni, the type species of Asiocolotes, to Altiphylax and the transfer of Asiocolotes depressus to Microgecko. We retain, however, Khan’s (2009) allocation of walli, assigned to Altiphylax by Sindaco & Jeremčenko (2008), to Mediodactylus.

Crossobamon

description: Crossobamon (2 species)
Composition: C. eversmanni (Wiegmann), (C. e. lumsdeni (Boulenger)), C. orientalis (Blanford)
Distribution: northwest India, Pakistan, eastern Iran, northern Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, southern Kazakhstan
Comments: The status of Stenodactylus lumsdeni Boulenger is unstable. Anderson (1999) considered this as a synonym of Bunopus tuberculatus, but we follow Szczerbak & Golubev (1986, 1996) in regarding it as related to Crossobamon eversmanni. These authors regarded it as a valid subspecies of C. eversmanni and treated Stenodactylus maynardi Smith as its junior synonym. Having not examined specimens, we withhold judgement on its status and simply follow Szczerbak & Golubev (1986, 1996) pending further investigation.

Cyrtodactylus

description: Cyrtodactylus (170+ species, 12 of which — listed here — have been variously considered as allied to Palearctic naked-toed geckos)
Composition: C. battalensis (Khan), C. dattanensis (Khan), C. fasciolatus (Blyth), C. himalayanus (Duda & Sahi), C. lawderanus (Stoliczka), C. malcolmsmithi (Constable), C. markuscombaii (Darevsky, Helfenberger, Orlov & Shah), C. martinstolli (Darevsky, Helfenberger, Orlov & Shah), C. medogensis (Zhao & Li), C. nepalensis (Schleich & Kästle), C. tibetanus (Boulenger), C. zhaoermii Shi & Zhao
Distribution: southern Tibet, southern flanks of Himalayas from northern India and Nepal eastwards to Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Philippines, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, northern Australia
Comments: Although Khan & Rösler (1999) included lawderanus in their stoliczkai group of “Circum- Himalayan” Cyrtodactylus, Khan subsequently moved it to the “ tibetinus [sic] group” which he later (Khan 2003c) named Siwaligekko. All Siwaligekko are here considered to be Cyrtodactylus, although the name may be retained at the subgeneric level for members of this basal grade of Tibeto-Himalayan geckos (see text). Cyrtopodion medogensis is tentatively included in this genus. Originally described as a Tenuidactylus, it has recently been moved to Cyrtodactylus by Li et al. (2010). Although body proportions and its distribution in eastern Tibet are consistent with Cyrtodactylus, body and especially tail tuberculation are uncharacteristically pronounced for this genus.

Distribution: northeastern Egypt, Sinai, eastern Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Azerbaijan, Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Pakistan, northern India, introduced on Red Sea coast of Africa
Comments: We include the apparently monophyletic agamuroides clade sensu Anderson (1999) (taxa marked by asterisks) within Cyrtopodion based on the phylogenetic results of Červenka et al. (2010). All members of Indogekko sensu Khan (2003c) except longipes and voraginosus are also subsumed within Cyrtopodion (see text). We suggest the use of Indogekko as a subgeneric name for most of those species assigned to it by Khan (2003c) (taxa marked by hash mark above).

(2000) and this paper, as well as the three species assigned to Carinatogecko by Sindaco & Jeremčenko (2008) and Torki (2011). We follow Červenka & Kratochvíl (2010) in assigning Cyrtopodion dehakroense to Mediodactylus, and Khan (2003c, 2006, 2009) in assigning walli to this genus. The inclusion of Cyrtopodion brachykolon to Mediodactylus is based on the results presented in this paper.

Siwaligekko

description: Siwaligekko [see Cyrtodactylus]
Comments: We synonymize Siwaligekko with Cyrtodactylus based on our phylogenetic results and those of Wood et al. (2012). Siwaligekko is applicable at a subgeneric level to those species most closely related to C. battalensis; however, given the uncertainty of relationships among basal Cyrtodactylus (recovered as paraphyletic in this paper), we suggest that Siwaligekko be retained as a subgeneric name for all members of the genus occurring in the western Himalayan region. Khan’s (2003) inclusion of Geckoella in Siwaligekko is not supported, but this genus is also embedded within Cyrtodactylus sensu lato (Wood et al. 2012).

Distribution: Azerbaijan, southwestern Russia, southern Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Iran, Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, northwestern China, southern Mongolia, introduced in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan.
Comments: Cyrtopodion elongatum and its former subspecies, C. voraginosum were assigned to Indogekko by Khan (2003c), but the position of the former in our phylogeny is consistent with these taxa being members of Tenuidactylus. We have retained Szczerbak & Golubev’s (1986, 1996) subspecific use of T. l. microlepis (see also Anderson 1999), but we regard T. voraginosus as a distinct species. Based on the similarities between T. elongatus and the recently described Cyrtopodion daduense we tentatively place the latter species in Tenuidactylus as well, as T. daduensis.

Distribution: North Africa from Mauritania to northern Somalia to the Mediterranean, Arabian Peninsula, Israel, Jordan
Comments: Species from Iran through Rajasthan previously assigned to this genus are now recognized as members of the distantly related Microgecko (Gamble et al. 2012; this study). Both Asiocolotes (here not regarded as valid) and Microgecko were previously considered subgenera of Tropiocolotes.

Zigrasimecia hoelldobleri

description: Zigrasimecia hoelldobleri Cao, Boudinot & Gao, 2020
Diagnosis (worker). Large species. Head subquadrate in full-face view. Body pilosity composed of long, flexuous, mildly clavate, and apically truncate setae. Labral distal margin fringed with soft setae. Dorsal mesosomal outline conspicuously convex; propodeum without strongly marked corners between the dorsal and posterior surfaces. Petiolar node apex brief, but not sharp, the transition from the anterior to the posterior surfaces being a short, curved surface.
Comments. The holotype of this species is very distinct for its pilosity and large size (Fig. 14), being easily separated from all remaining species of Zigrasimecia by those respects. Two morphospecies are similar to Z. hoelldobleri, however their poor preservation prevents any conclusive identification. See comments under morphospecies Zigrasimecia ufv-04 about a possible complex of species formed by it, Z. hoelldobleri and Zigrasimecia ufv-06.
The paratype CNU-HYM-MA2019054 of Z. hoelldobleri, differs considerably from the holotype and is here taken out of the type series of the species for not sharing the same type of setation with the holotype. Moreover, CNU-HYM-MA2019054 propodeum appears to have better-defined faces and the petiolar node with better defined top and posterior faces. The specimen is probably conspecific to specimen CNU-HYM-MA2019065, both are likely members of a new species similar to Z. ferox, but differing from the latter by having somewhat longer and more abundant pilosity on the body, the apex of the node oblique rather than flat, and a slightly different shape of the head, with the anterior section just posterad the clypeal lobes a bit more constricted (see comments about specimen CNU-HYM-MA2019065 below). Alternatively, the limits of Z. ferox could be broadened to include specimens CNU-HYM-MA2019065 and CNU-HYM-MA2019054, something that should preferably be done when more specimens are available and/or can be physically examined.
The distalmost row of very thin, crooked setae on the labrum of Z. hoelldobleri holotype is an odd and unique trait of the species; however, it is difficult to check in specimens with a retracted labrum (most of the known specimens so far); therefore, it could be, in fact, a more common trait in the genus.
