Kalamotrypetes

description: Genus Kalamotrypetes Casto, 1980
Kalamotrypetes Casto, 1980: 233.
Type species: Kalamotrypetes colinastes Casto, 1980 by original designation.
Until now this genus includes two species, K. colinastes Casto and K. pavodaptes Casto. Because, the second species has all characters that perfectly correspond to those of Mironovia Chirov and Kravtsova, e.g. constricted stylophore, ornamented dorsal setae and two pairs of aggenital setae in both sexes, we transferred this species to the genus Mironovia. Below, we establish a new diagnosis for this genus and give description of new species, K. cracidus.
Diagnosis. FEMALE. Small to medium-sized syringophilids (total body length 495–750). Gnathosoma. Hypostomal apex without protuberances. Lateral hypostomal teeth absent. Peritremes M-shaped, with clearly visible chambers in each branch. Movable cheliceral digits edentate. Stylophore rounded posteriorly. Idiosoma. Dorsal propodonotal setae delicately ornamented. Six pairs of propodonotal setae present, arranged 2–1–1–2. Propodonotal shield entire, bearing bases of all propodonotal setae, except c2. Hysteronotal shield well developed, fused to pygidial shield. Bases of setae d1 situated closer to d2 than to e2. Terminal setae f1 and h1 short, f2 and h2 long. Two pairs of pseudanal, 2 pairs of genital and 3 pairs of aggenital setae present. Legs. Legs I thicker than II–IV. Full complement of leg setae present. Apodemes I slightly divergent and not fused to apodemes II, both dissimilar in shape and size. Antaxial and paraxial members of claw pair subequal in size and shape, without basal angle.
MALE. Features as in females except: total body length 700–800; dorsal idiosomal setae smooth; hysteronotal shield fused to pygidial shield; hysteronotal setae d2 short or long, d1 and e2 short; terminal setae f2 short, h2 long or short.
Host range. Members of this genus are associated with galliform birds of the family Cracidae and Odontophoridae.
Habitat. Mites inhabiting quills of flight feathers: secondaries and coverts.
Species included. This genus includes 2 species: K. colinastes and K. cracidus sp. nov.

Columbiphilus, Skoracki 2011: 373
Type species: C. khushalkhani Kivganov and Sharafat, 1995 by original designation.
This genus comprises the species associated with birds of the three orders, Galliformes, Columbiformes and Pteroclidiformes (Skoracki 2011). Galliform-associated mites belong to two species, C. polonica (Skoracki et al., 2002), C. alectoris (Fain et al., 2000), and one new species described below.
Although, this genus was established based on material collected from nest of Columba livia Gmelin in Afganistan (Kivganov & Sharafat 1995), in our opinion, this bird is not true host for this mite species. Really the picobiin connected with doves is Neopicobia zumpti (Lawrence, 1959) recorded from African, American, European doves (Lawrence 1959; Bochkov et al. 2005; pers. obs.). C. khushalkhani is morphologically very similar to C. polonica, (a poor description and access to the type material of C. khushalkhani being unavailable, does not allow us to compare these two species). We suggest accidental transfer of these quill mites from domestic hen to nearby nesting doves. Thus, the name Columbiphilus does not show the real association of these quill mites with their hosts.

Xanthopimpla amazonica

description: The amazonica species-group
(Figs. 1 b, 1e, 1h)
Diagnosis. The amazonica species-group can be distinguished from all other New and Old world species-groups of Xanthopimpla by the combination of the following characters: 1) occipital carina developed into a thin, high flange (Fig. 1 b); 2) propodeal spiracle joined to the pleural carina by a short carina (Fig. 1 e); and 3) first tergite with lateromedian carinae anteriorly highly elevated (Fig. 1 h). At least the first two characters seem to be unique to the amazonica species-group.
Remarks. The species of the group are restricted to South America and have been found mainly in the vast Amazonian lowland rainforest area (Fig. 8). All species are rare and we have only seen a few specimens.

Xanthopimpla amazonica

description: Xanthopimpla amazonica Gómez, Sääksjärvi & Veijalainen 2009
(Figs. 2 a, 3a, 4a)
Original description. See Gómez et al. (2009).
Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from all other Neotropical Xanthopimpla by the combination of the following characters: 1) occipital carina complete and expanded into a high thin flange; 2) propodeum with petiolar area divided by a longitudinal carina that starts in the center of the posterior transverse carina; 3) posterior transverse carina bowed in the center; and 4) ovipositor sheath about 0.8–1.1 times the length of the hind tibia.
Distribution. Brazil, French Guiana, Peru.
New material examined. Brazil: Male. (INPA) Dept. of Maranhão, Açailândia. 0505’27”S, 4705’58”W, XII.2006. Rafael, Oliveira & Vidal leg. Malaise trap.
French Guiana: Female (ZMUT) Patawa. Seag leg. II.2003.
Notes. The species is here recorded for the first time outside Peru (see Gómez et al. 2009). The Brazilian male is similar to the Peruvian female specimen. The French Guianan female is similar to the Peruvian female but has tergites 5+ dark brownish and a longer ovipositor (about 1.1 times as long as hind tibia whereas in the Peruvian female the same index is about 0.8). Xanthopimpla amazonica seems to be rare but widely distributed in tropical northern South America.

Original description. See Krieger (1914).
Re-description in English. See Townes (1969).
Diagnosis. Xanthopimpla peruana can be distinguished from all other Neotropical species by the combination of the following characters: 1) occipital carina complete, rather weak dorsally; 2) propodeum with reduced carination, with only posterior transverse carina present (Fig. 1 f); 3) triangular crests at the anterior edge of the mesoscutum small (Fig. 1 c); 4) ventrolateral carina complete across the length of the first tergite (Fig. 1 i); and 5) body almost entirely lemon yellowish.
Remarks. The Andean species X. peruana is established as an unplaced species outside of the aurita and amazonica species-groups. It may be possible to place it into a new species-group in the future after the tropical Andes become better sampled.
Distribution. Ecuador, Peru.
New material examined. Peru: Female (UNSM): Dept. of Cusco, Cosñipata, 13°03’ S, 71°32’ W, 1500 m. Castillo leg, Hand net. X.2007. Female (ZMUT): as above but IX.2007. Male (ZMUT): as above but IX.2008. Male (ZMUT): as above but IX.2007.
Notes. The species seems to be the only Neotropical Xanthopimpla restricted to the tropical Andes at about 1200–1500 m above sea level.

Keilbachia flagria

description: The Keilbachia flagria group
Menzel and Mohrig (2000) divided Keilbachia into the K. nepalensis group and the K. sasakawai group, the former characterized by lacking the apical tooth on the gonostylus, the latter by possessing it. All the species known at that time had one curved mesial megaseta on the gonostylus. Mohrig (in Mohrig, Röschmann & Rulik 1999) also included in Keilbachia those species which have two or six curved megasetae and an apical tooth on the gonostylus. For practical reasons, we call the group with two or more curved mesial megasetae arising from a common basal body as the Keilbachia flagria group. All except for one species have the apical tooth. The monophyly of the species currently included in Keilbachia is uncertain in our view, and will be discussed in another context (Hippa, Menzel & Vilkamaa in preparation).

description: Keilbachia bicuspis sp. n.
(Figs 1 F, 2A, 3H, 5D, E)
Material studied. Holotype male (in NRMS). N.E. Burma (Myanmar), Kambaiti, 7000 ft., 15.4.1934, R. Malaise.
Male. Colour. The specimen is strongly faded, almost unicolorous pale yellowish-brown. Head. Eye bridge 3 facets wide. Face (prefrons) with 5 setae in a transverse row. Clypeus with 1 seta. Maxillary palpus (Fig. 1 F) with three palpomeres. Palpomere 1 with one seta, with numerous hyaline sensilla widely scattered on dorsal surface, no sensory pit; palpomere 2 with ca. 7 setae; palpomere 3 with ca. 7 setae. Antennal flagellomere 4, Fig. 2 A. Thorax. Number of setae on anterior pronotum and episternum 1 not counted because the sclerites are badly damaged in the single specimen. Wing. Length 2.7 mm. Width/length 0.42. R1/R 1.21. c/ w 0.79. r-m and bM equal in length, r-m/bM 1.00, both non-setose. Legs. Apex of fore tibia, Fig. 3 H. Length of fore basitarsomere/length of fore tibia 0.79. Length of fore tibia/length of fore femur 1.48. Length of hind tibia/length of scutum+scutellum not counted because the thorax is distorted. Abdomen. Sternite 8 with ca. 20 setae, widely spread. Hypopygium. Fig. 5 D, E: Gonostylus with two rather short arcuate mesial megasetae arising from a common basal body and one megaseta at the base of the apical tooth. Tegmen laterally compressed so that the sides partly cover each other, and many of the details difficult to interpret.
Female unknown.
Discussion. Keilbachia bicuspis is not especially similar to any other Keilbachia. It is one of the five species with only two curved megasetae on the gonostylus, the other four being K. acamptochaeta, K. biflagrispina, K. oligonema and K. sp. 2. K. bicuspis differs from all of these except for K. acamptochaeta by having the curved megasetae short and stout, only about twice the length of their basal body instead of being several times longer than the basal body. K. bicuspis differs from K. acamptochaeta by having only one megaseta in addition to the curved ones on its gonostylus, whilst in K. acamptochaeta there are three. K. bicuspis differs further by having maxillary palpus three-segmented, not one-segmented.

Material studied. Holotype male (in NRMS). N.E. Burma (Myanmar), Kambaiti, 7000 ft., 28.5.1934, R. Malaise.
Male. Colour. The specimen is strongly faded, almost unicolorous pale yellowish-brown. Head. Eye bridge 2–3 facets wide. Face (prefrons) with ca. 5 setae, the exact number and the arrangement pattern not distinctly seen because the face is laterally compressed and distorted. Clypeus with 1 seta. Maxillary palpus with one palpomere which shows indications of being composed of two elements, with one lateral seta (only sockets left) on the thicker basal part and one, possibly two setae on the narrower apical part, the hyaline sensilla widely scattered on dorsal surface of the basal part, no sensory pit. Antennal flagellomere 4, Fig. 2 C. Thorax. Number of setae on anterior pronotum and episternum 1 not counted because the sclerites are badly distorted in the single specimen. Wing. Length 2.7 mm. Width/length 0.45. R1/R 1.00. c/ w 0.77. r-m much longer than bM, r-m/bM 1.92, r-m with 3 setae, bM non-setose. Legs. Apex of fore tibia, Fig. 3 B. Length of fore basitarsomere/length of fore tibia 0.67. Length of fore tibia/length of fore femur 2.00 (this ratio may be inexact because the basal part of femur cannot be clearly seen). Length of hind tibia/length of scutum+scutellum 2.30. Abdomen. Sternite 8 with ca. 20 setae, widely spread. Hypopygium. Fig. 6 C, D: Gonostylus with ca. 8 long curved mesial megasetae arising from a common basal body and 5–6 megasetae in a row between these and the apical tooth. Tegmen rather simple, subtriangular.
Female unknown.
Discussion. Keilbachia fasciata is similar to K. gigas. Both differ from other similar Keilbachia by having the maxillary palpus one-segmented but with elements of two palpomeres still discernible, and by having the curved megasetae on the gonostylus relatively short and high in number, seven or more instead of six or less. K. fasciata is distinguished from K. gigas by its much smaller size, wing length under 3 mm instead of approximately 4 mm, by having stM longer that the M fork, not shorter, and by having distinct megasetae on the apical part of gonostylus instead of thickened, basally curved, more normal setae.

Material studied. Holotype male (in NRMS). N.E. Burma (Myanmar), Kambaiti, 7000 ft., 28.5.1934, R. Malaise.
Male. Colour. The specimen is probably strongly faded, almost unicolorous pale yellowish-brown, katepisternum (preepisternum 2) appearing darker than the other parts of pleura and the wing seeming to be rather dark, especially the veins. Head. Eye bridge 3–4 facets wide. Face (prefrons) with 15 setae. Clypeus non-setose. Maxillary palpus (Fig. 1 H) with 3 palpomeres. Palpomere 1 with 1 lateral seta, with many hyaline sensilla scattered on the dorsal surface, without sensory pit. Palpomere 2 with 4 setae. Palpomere 3 with 5 setae. Antennal flagellomere 4, Fig. 2 D. Thorax. Anterior pronotum with 5 setae. Episternum 1 with 10 setae. Wing. Length 3.5 mm. Width/length 0.40. R1/R 1.00. c/ w 0.62. r-m longer than bM, r-m/bM 1.37, r-m with 4 setae, bM non-setose. Legs. Apex of fore tibia, Fig. 3 G. Length of fore basitarsomere/length of fore tibia 0.75. Length of fore tibia/length of fore femur 1.44. Length of hind tibia/length of scutum+scutellum 2.87. Abdomen. Sternite 8 with ca. 30 setae, widely spread. Hypopygium. Fig. 6 A, B: Gonostylus with 3-4 long curved mesial megasetae arising from a common basal body and 6 megasetae in a row between these and the apical tooth, the most apical one of these on the ventral side of the apical tooth, the three most apical of these megasetae rather weak, not much stronger than the other setae of equal length. Tegmen with a broad base and a long narrow apical part, the latter with several lobes the details of which are difficult to see, broadly and conspicuously microtrichose apically.
Female unknown.
Discussion. Keilbachia filigera is not very similar to any other Keilbachia. It is distinguished by having five or six megasetae in a row between the curved megasetae and the apical tooth on the gonostylus instead of fewer. K. foveolata, which may seem similar, has only two palpomeres, not three. K. filigera is reminiscent of K. biflagrispina because of the narrow tegmen, which has long microtrichia in the apical part. Its gonostylus differs from that of K. filigera by having only three megasetae between the curved megasetae and the apical tooth, one near the curved ones, two near the apical tooth on the gonostylus. The number of curved megasetae is only two instead of three or four. Both these species resemble Keilbachia sp. 3 in the apically microtrichose tegmen. The latter lacks the megasetae except for the curved ones.

Material studied. Holotype male (in NRMS). N.E. Burma (Myanmar), Kambaiti, 7000 ft., 4.4.1934, R. Malaise.
Male. Colour. The single specimen is strongly faded, almost unicolorous pale yellowish-brown. Head. Eye bridge, Fig. 8 B, 3 facets wide, medially with a gap of two facets width. Face (prefrons) with 7 setae. Clypeus non-setose. Maxillary palpus (Fig. 1 E) with 2 palpomeres. Palpomere 1 with 1 seta, with many hyaline sensilla scattered on the dorsal surface, without sensory pit. Palpomere 2 with 4 setae. Antennal flagellomeres rather inflated in KOH and not drawn, flagellomere 4, in a non-inflated condition, apparently twice as long as broad. Thorax. Anterior pronotum with 1 seta. Episternum 1 with 5 setae. Wing (Fig. 4 B). Length 2.75 mm. Width/length 0.41. R1/R 0.98. c/ w 0.64. r-m and bM nearly equally long, r-m/bM 1.08, r-m with 1 seta very close to Rs, bM non-setose. Legs. Apex of fore tibia, Fig. 3 F. Length of fore basitarsomere/ length of fore tibia ca. 0.72. Length of fore tibia/length of fore femur ca. 1.60. Length of hind tibia/length of scutum+scutellum ca 2.26. Abdomen. Sternite 8 visible in lateral view and the setae difficult to count, with ca. 20 setae, in two transverse rows on posterior half. Hypopygium. Fig. 8 C, D: Gonostylus with 2–3 long curved mesial megasetae arising from a common basal body; whether the number of these megasetae really is two on the left side in the holotype is uncertain because the number of sockets is impossible to see. Between the curved megasetae and the apical tooth with two widely-separated megasetae. Near the base of the apical tooth with two or three strong setae diverging from other nearby setae, at least one of which has a curvature near base. Posteriorly to the ventral intercoxal area with a small pit, not like the other species. Tegmen very pale in this specimen and the details difficult to see: it seems rather simple.
Female unknown.
Discussion. Keilbachia foveolata is similar to K. rima. It is distinguished by having two palpomeres instead of three and by lacking a megaseta at the base of the apical tooth of the gonostylus. In K. foveolata there are two or three strong setae ventrally near the base of the apical tooth of the gonostylus, which differ distinctly from the other nearby setae; in K. rima such setae are lacking. K. foveolata differs from K. rima by having a small sclerotized pit medially in the membrane on the intercoxal area of hypopygium. In this respect, K. foveolata resembles Keilbachia sp. 3, but the latter has three palpomeres.

Abdomen. Sternite 8 with ca. 40 setae, widely spread. Hypopygium. Fig. 8 E, F: Gonostylus with ca. 8 long curved mesial megasetae arising from a common basal body and 2 megasetae at the middle between the former and the apical tooth, near the base of the apical tooth with 2–3 thick setae deviating from the general setosity and two of which are curved in basal part. Tegmen rather simple, subtriangular.
Female unknown.
Discussion. Keilbachia gigas is similar to K. fasciata. For their distinguishing characters, see under the latter. K. gigas is the largest known Keilbachia and, unlike the other species, it has stM shorter than the M fork.

Male. Colour. Head brown, maxillary palp and antenna slightly paler than other parts, thorax brown with an indistinct and indefinite pattern of paler brown areas on pleura, legs pale brown, paler than the paler areas on thorax, wing brownish, haltere pale brown, paler than wing, abdomen pale brown, like the paler areas on thoracic pleura. Head. Eye bridge (Fig. 10 A): 2–4 facets wide, in the holotype (Fig. 10 A) the medial facetless area is narrower than in the paratypes (Fig. 10 B). Face (prefrons) with 13–15 setae. Clypeus with 2–3 setae. Maxillary palpus (Fig. 1 G) with 3 palpomeres. Palpomere 1 with 1–2 setae, one lateral, the other placed either dorsally or mesio-ventrally, with many hyaline sensilla scattered on dorsal surface, without sensory pit. Palpomere 2 with 5–7 setae. Palpomere 3 with 5–9 setae. Antennal flagellomere 4, Fig. 2 E. Thorax. Anterior pronotum with 2–4 setae. Episternum 1 with 6–7 setae. Wing (Fig. 4 D). Length 2.30–2.35 mm. Width/length 0.45–0.49. R1/R 1.28–1.34. c/ w 0.76 –0.77. r-m slightly shorter or longer than bM, r-m/bM 0.82–1.13, r-m with 1–2 setae, bM non-setose. Legs. Apex of fore tibia, Fig.3 C. Length of fore basitarsomere/length of fore tibia 0.59–0.64. Length of fore tibia/length of fore femur 1.39–1.42. Length of hind tibia/length of scutum+scutellum 1.92–2.05. Abdomen. Sternite 8 with ca. 10 setae, most of them in a transverse row on posterior part but with two or three placed more anteriorly. Hypopygium. Fig. 10: Gonostylus with 3–4 long curved mesial megasetae arising from a common basal body and 3 megasetae in a row between these and the apical tooth, the most apical one of these at the base of the apical tooth. Tegmen rather simple, broadly subtriangular, in one of the paratypes with a thick papillose membrane basolaterally (Fig. 10 F), which cannot be seen in the other specimens.
Female unknown.
Discussion. The holotype and the paratypes differ slightly in the eye bridge. In the former the facetless medial space is narrow, as it usually is in Keilbachia, but in the paratypes it is broad, about the diameter of two facets wide, and resembles K. foveolata. K. rima is otherwise also similar to K. foveolata. For distinguishing characters, see under the latter.

description: Keilbachia sp. 1
Material studied. 1 male, N. E. Burma (Myanmar), Kambaiti, 7000 ft., 25.5.1934, R. Malaise (in NRMS).
Discussion. This species resembles K. flagria Mohrig, which is known from high altitudes (3600–3800 m) in Nepal (Mohrig 1999). The single specimen is in poor condition: the gonostyli are rotated in the mount so that they are visible in latero-ventral position and the tegmen is folded so that the details are impossible to see. From what can be seen, the gonostylus is very similar to K. flagria: there are five long curved megasetae arising from a common basal body (six described in K. flagria) and there are no additional megasetae. K flagria was described as having the whole length of r-m+bM setose (macrotrichose). In the Burmese species, r-m has one seta close to Rs and bM is non-setose.

description: Keilbachia sp. 2
Material studied. 1 male, N. E. Burma (Myanmar), Kambaiti, 7000 ft., 15.4.1935, R. Malaise (in NRMS).
Discussion. The species resembles K. rima and K. foveolata. The number of palpomeres is three. The medial facetless space on the eye bridge is narrow as in Fig. 10 A. The number of facial setae is 15. The setae are much stronger than in K. foveolata and K. rima. The hypopygium is strongly distorted. It resembles that of K. foveolata, but the gonostylus has only one megaseta between the apical tooth and the long curved megasetae, of which there are two. The apical tooth is conspicuously longer than in K. foveolata and K. rima. There is a pit in the intercoxal area of the hypopygium as in K. foveolata. K. sp. 2 is a good species but cannot be named because the hypopygium cannot be described precisely enough.
