Type species: Dermanyssus arcuatus C.L. Koch, 1839 = Liponyssus arcuatus (C.L. Koch) sensu Oudemans, 1913 (see remarks below)
General morphological diagnosis: see Evans & Till (1966: 277), Mašán & Fend’a (2010: 71).
Notes: Some authors, following Tenorio & Radovsky (1979) and Tenorio (1984), accept Hirstionyssus as a junior synonym of Echinonyssus Hirst, 1925. On the other hand, Mašán & Fend’a (2010) consider Echinonyssus as a monotypic genus restricted to the type species Echinonyssus nasutus Hirst, 1925. This point of view corresponds to that of Russian acarologists (Bregetova 1956; Zemskaya 1973; Goncharova et al. 1991) and is followed here.
The genus has been recorded from all continents and comprises more than 115 species (Tenorio 1984). The ex- USSR acarofauna includes approximately 30 species of Hirstionyssus (Bregetova 1977), nearly 20 of which have been recorded from the Asiatic Russia territory.
The identity of the type species of the genus Hirstionyssus, Dermanyssus arcuatus C.L. Koch, 1839 sensu Oudemans, 1913, has been debated in the literature. Most authors agree that it is a doubtful taxon, and its taxonomic treatment was different in the works of different acarologists. Though Evans & Till (1966) and Tenorio (1984) viewed D. arcuatus as identical with Hirstionyssus talpae Zemskaya, 1955, it was re-named by Zuevsky (1970) as Hirstionyssus apodemi. A very wide spectrum of hosts of Dermanyssus arcuatus C.L. Koch sensu Oudemans, 1913, ranging from bats to carnivores (Oudemans, 1913a, b), indicates that a mixture of several species might have been united under this taxonomic name.

Type locality: Europe, Alpine region.
Type series: MNHN. The lectotype was designated by Tenorio (1985).
Type host: Marmota marmota Linnaeus, 1758.
Host range: Marmots, including the Altai marmot, Marmota baibacina Kastschenko, 1899, and the bobak, M. bobac Müller, 1776.
Distribution: Europe and the southern part of North Asia (Senotrusova & Kapitonov 1970; Tenorio 1985; Mašán & Fend’a 2010). In Asiatic Russia, H. blanchardi has been recorded chiefly from the mountain parts of Western Siberia (Altai and Salair Mts.), where it parazitises the Altai marmots (Davydova & Nikolsky 1986). Koroleva (1977) mentioned a finding of this species in Novosibirsk Region.
Notes: A new subspecies name, H. blanchardi asiaticus Senotrusova & Kapitonov, 1970, was proposed for populations of this species inhabiting the central and eastern parts of Kazakhstan. According to Tenorio (1985), it is a nomen nudum as the new name appeared in figure captions but nowhere in the text. This subspecies name is absent from Senotrusova’s later monograph (Senotrusova 1987); possibly it means that the author rejected her own previous opinion and considered H. blanchardi as a monotypic species.

Type locality: North China, “Yu-Lin-Fu, Shansi”.
Type series: NHMUK. The type secies includes the lectotype and 12 paralectotypes (7 females, 5 deutonymphs). The lectotype was designated by Tenorio (1984; for more details see Tenorio 1985).
Type host: Stated as “ Myospalax scansus ” = Eospalax cansus (Lyon 1907), the Gansu zokor (see Zhou & Zhou 2008 for details).
Host range: The species of the genus Myospalax (zokors) are the principal hosts of this mite (Tenorio 1985). In Siberia, H. confucianus is associated with the Daurian zokor, Myospalax aspalax Pallas, 1776 (Goncharova et al. 1991); occasional recordings of this parasite from the narrow-headed vole (M. gregalis), marmots, and the Siberian jerboa, Allactaga sibirica Foster, 1778, are known (Nikulina 2004).
Distribution: Far East. Found in some areas of Southern Siberia (Irkutsk Region, Transbaikalia) [Goncharova et al. 1991; Nikulina 2004].

Type locality: Entire Europe (Oudemans 1913b).
Type series: Unknown.
Type host: Not stated (H. apodemi is a replacement name).
Host range: The principal hosts of H. apodemi are mice of the genus Apodemus Kaup, 1829; occasionally, these mites may be found on other hosts, including Microtus gregalis (Pallas, 1779), Sicista betulina (Pallas, 1779), Ellobius talpinus (Pallas, 1770), Sorex spp. and others (Zuevsky 1970).
Distribution: Eastern Europe, Siberia, Russian Far East, Kazakhstan, Iran (Tenorio 1984; Nikulina 1987, 2004; Senotrusova 1987; Goncharova et al. 1991). It has been recorded in different regions of Southern Siberia, from the southwestern part of Western Siberia (Davydova & Nikol’sky 1986) eastward to Transbaikalia (Goncharova et al. 1991).
Notes: Uchikawa (1975) synonymised H. apodemi with H. sunci Wang, 1962, described from China. As Tenorio (1984: 278) noted, this was made “with apparently no type comparison”. Russian authors still prefer to use the name H. apodemi (see Nikulina 2004; Korallo 2009). Whether the two species are the same or not is unclear (but see Mašán & Fend’a 2010). Mašán & Fend’a (2010) list two more European species of Hirstionyssus (H. oryctolagi Evans & Till, 1966 and H. molinae Fain & Rack, 1990) in the synonymy of H. sunci (= H. apodemi).

Echinonyssus butantanensis — Tenorio 1984: 265; Mašán & Fend’a 2010: 121, figs 113–116.
Type locality: Brazil, Sao Paulo.
Type series: Brazil, Sao Paulo, Butantan Institute.
Type host: Mus musculus (Linnaeus, 1758), albino morph (the white mouse)
Host range: H. butantanensis prefers murine rodents of the genera Mus and Rattus (Mašán & Fend’a 2010).
Distribution: Virtually cosmopolitan; the tight association of H. butantanensis with synanthropic rodents possibly explains its finding from areas far remoted from the type locality, e.g. in New Zealand (Tenquist & Charleston 2001). In Asiatic Russia, the species has been known (as H. latiscutatus) from Western Siberia and the southern parts of Eastern Siberia (Davydova & Nikol’sky 1986; Nikulina 2004).
Notes: In Russian parasitological and acarological literature the name H. butantanensis is not in common use; most authors have used the name H. latiscutatus (see, for example, Zuevsky 1970; Nikulina 2004).
The identity of Schrank’s (1803) mite species Acarus musculi (type host—the house mouse) is enigmatic due to the brevity of its original description and loss of the type series. Some authors (e.g. Baker & Wharton 1952) assigned this species to the genus Steatonyssus Kolenati, 1858. However, Steatonyssus mites are obligatory parasites of bats, and the finding of a member of this genus on the skin of a house mouse is very unlikely (Till & Evans 1964).

Type locality: No exact locality was reported. Zemskaya (1955) mentioned H. eversmanni from the Volgograd Region of Russia and the Kustanay Region of Kazakhstan. The probable syntypes (ZIN) were collected in the latter area.
Type series: Unknown (possibly in EMAMS). Probable syntypes—ZIN (collection numbers 6566–6568).
Type host: Allocricetulus eversmanni (Brandt, 1859), the Eversmann’s hamster.
Host range: Most often found on hamsters (the genera Cricetus, Allocricetulus), in Kazakhstan it parasitises some species of the genus Lagurus (steppe lemmings) [Senotrusova 1987; Nikulina 2004]. H. eversmanni may occasionally be associated with other rodents (voles, mice, ground squirrels).
Distribution: Southern part of Eastern Europe, south of Asiatic Russia; eastern Kazakhstan (Zemskaya 1973; Senotrusova 1987; Nikulina 2004). In Asiatic Russia, H. eversmanni inhabits some areas of southwest Siberia and southern parts of Primorye, Russian Far East (Davydova & Nikol’skiy 1986; Nikulina 2004).

Echinonyssus ellobii — Tenorio 1984: 267.
Type locality: Not stated. Bregetova (1956) reported H. ellobii from different localities situated within the ranges of its type hosts.
Type series: Unknown (not found in ZIN).
Type hosts: Ellobius talpinus (Pallas, 1770), the Northern mole vole, and E. fuscocapillus Blyth, 1843, the Southern mole vole.
Host range: The mole voles (genus Ellobius) serve as the principal hosts for H. ellobii (Zemskaya 1973). Senotrusova (1987) reported a case of massive infestation of the steppe lemming, Lagurus lagurus (Pallas, 1773), by this mite. Occasionally collected from other species of rodents.
Distribution: The range of H. ellobii coincides with distribution of its host species, the mole voles. The mite was reported from Central Europe to south of Asiatic Russia as well as from various countries of Central Asia— Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan (Bregetova 1956; Zemskaya 1973; Senotrusova 1987). In Asiatic Russia, H. ellobii has been recorded in the southwest Siberia (Davydova & Nikol’sky 1986); absent from the Russian Far East (Yudin et al. 1976; Nikulina 1987; Goncharova et al. 1991).
Notes: A subspecies (H. ellobii spalacis Costa, 1961) was described from the Palestine mole-rat, Spalax ehrenbergi Hehring, 1898, from Israel (Costa 1961).

Type locality: No exact type locality is reported. Bregetova (1956) cited findings of this species from Estonia, some regions of European Russia, as well as from western Kazakhstan.
Type series: Unknown (not found in ZIN).
Type hosts: Sorex araneus Linnaeus, 1758 and Neomys fodiens Pennant, 1771.
Host range: Though H. eusoricis is usually regarded as a specific parasite of shrews and other soricimorph mammals (Zemskaya 1973; Senotrusova 1987), the findings of this mite from different species of rodents and even from bird nests are known (Nikulina 2004; Mašán & Fend’a 2010). Anyway, the insectivores remain the principal hosts for this parasite.
Distribution: Northern Eurasia; widespread in Asiatic Russia, where occurs in both Siberia and the Russian Far East (Davydova & Nikol’sky 1986; Nikulina 1987, 2004; Goncharova et al. 1991).
Notes: Tenorio (1984) supposed that H. eusoricis may be a synonym of H. soricis (Turk, 1945). This synonymy has been accepted by Mašán & Fend’a (2010) but not followed by Russian authors (Nikulina 1987, 2004; Goncharova et al. 1991; Korallo 2009).

description: II. Myrmeleon Kolywanense Laxmann, 1770
The situatiοn οf the name Myrmeleon Kolywanense Laxmann, 1770, is very similar tο that οf Hemerobius libelloides Linnaeus, 1764. The οriginal spelling kolywanense was replaced almοst always by the subsequent spelling kolyvanense. As far as we knοw, the οnly authοr whο used the οriginal spelling was Majewski (1882, 1885). Rambur (1842) is prοbably the first οne tο create and use the subsequent spelling prοpοsing alsο the new cοmbinatiοn Ascalaphus kolyvanensis.
The οriginal spelling dοes nοt seem an inadvertent errοr, even if in a biοgraphy οf Laxmann based οn unpublished nοtes, Lagus (1880: 47) wrοte Myrmeleon kolyvanense. Actually, the οriginal spelling appears three times in the οriginal vοlume: οther than οn page 599 as title οf the species descriptiοn, bοth at page 50 in the Summarium Dissertationum and at page 604 in the captiοn οf the plate XXV. Sο, in accοrd with ICZN Cοde Article 33.2.3.1, because the spelling kolyvanense is an unjustified emendatiοn but in prevailing usage, it is deemed a justified emendatiοn attributed tο the οriginal authοr and date.

Type host: Oudemans (1913a) indicated Arvicola terrestris, Mus musculus, Talpa europaea, and Mustela erminea as the hosts of the mite individuals, which were used by him to establish a new species.
Host range: H. isabellinus is found on a very broad circle of mammal hosts, and neither can be designated as the principal host for this mite. H. isabellinus was found on many species of voles (of different genera), mice, shrews, pikas, rats, ground squirrels etc. (Herrin 1970; Yudin et al. 1976; Senotrusova 1987; Goncharova et al. 1991; Whitaker et al. 2007; Korallo 2009; Krasnov et al. 2010; Mašán & Fend’a 2010). It was found also in birds’ nests (Mašán & Fend’a 2010).
Distribution: Eurasia and North America (Allred & Beck 1966; Herrin 1970; Whitaker et al. 2007). In Asiatic Russia H. isabellinus occurs in all regions, including the extreme North (Yudin et al. 1976; Davydova & Nikol’sky 1986; Nikulina 2004).

Echinonyssus meridianus— Tenorio 1984: 272.
Type locality: No exact locality was reported. Zemskaya (1955) mentioned H. eversmanni from the Volgograd Region of Russia and from Turkmenistan.
Type series: Unknown (possibly in EMAMS).
Type host: Two species of gerbils— Rhombomys opimus (Lichtenstein, 1823) and Meriones meridianus (Pallas, 1773).
Host range: This mite is considered a specific parasite of gerbils of the genera Meriones and Rhombomys (Bretetova 1956; Zemskaya 1973).
Distribution: The species is widely distributed in the Middle East and Central Asia (Tenorio 1984); the northwestern part of its range lies in the south of European Russia (Bregetova 1956). It is recorded from the Central Asian republics of the former USSR as well as from Armenia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northwestern China—Xin-jang are known (Bregetova 1956; Oganjanyan 1962; Zemskaya et al. 1975; Daniel 1977; Senotrusova 1987; Ye et al. 2000; Halliday et al. 2018). The presence of H. meridianus in the fauna of Asiatic Russia needs a confirmation. We include it in our check-list on the basis of a single record from Western Siberia (without exact locality) in the catalogue of SZM collection (see http://szmn.eco.nsc.ru/Inverteb/ Gamasina.htm). In addition, there is a single (and rather doubtful) record of this mite from the South Urals, the area adjacent to Western Siberia (Litvinova & Zavodova 1969). We consider this record as doubtful since the mites were collected from Microtus voles.

Type locality: Georgia, Kazbeghi District, vicinities of the villages of Kobi, Suatisi.
Type series: ZIN and the Department of Zoology of the North-Ossetian Pedagogical Institute (Vladikavkaz, Russia).
Type host: Chionomys gud (Satunin, 1909), the Gudaur vole.
Host range: H. gudauricus infests hosts belonging to varied vole genera (Alticola, Chionomys, Clethrionomys, Microtus); sometimes is collected from shrews (Razumova 1957; Senotrusova 1987; Mašán & Fend’a 2010). It seems that no species can be considered as the chief host of this generalist parasite.
Distribution: Northern and Central Europe, Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Western and Eastern Siberia (Senotrusova, 1987; Nikulina 2004; Huhta 2016); mostly in high mountain regions (Senotrusova 1987). Uchikawa (1974) recorded this species from Japan (as H. tatricus).

Material examined. ESFM –POR / 2014–001, October 2013, 30 m, on stone in sandy bottom, 1 specimen.
Description. Specimen is cushion-shaped, white (fixed specimen) (Fig. 2 A). Sponge surface is covered nonerected oval pores. The sponge tissue is soft and fragile. Spongin is scarce. Skeleton has a hymedesmoid arrangement. Ectosomal spicules composed of 2–3 bundles of tornotes comprise a column. Skeleton (Fig. 3 A) of the ectosome consists of brushes of tornotes. Choanosomal spicules comprise megascleres (tornotes and acanthostyles) and microscleres (isochelae). Tornotes are slender and straight (subtylo) (190–220 x 2–3 µm) (Fig.
4A1). Acanthostyles (80–220 x 4–8 µm) are obviously spined along the whole length (Fig. 4 A2). Microscleres are arcuate isochelae (10–20 µm) with flattened shaft (Fig. 4 A3) and no sigmas.
Habitat and distribution. This species was found on a stone at 30 m in the Black Sea. It is a common on hard substrata (rocks, stones, shells) in the infralittoral and shallow circalittoral zones of the British coasts (Goodwin et al. 2011) and the Western Mediterranean Sea (Harmelin et al. 2003, Ackers et al. 1992). This species has not been reported from the eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea.
