- Abstract A new species, Neoatractides (Heteratractides) proclusterosetus sp. nov., is described and illustrated in detail, which represents a new recorded genus Neoatractides Lundblad, 1941 and subgenus Heteratractides Lundblad, 1941 from China. The diagnosis of the subgenus Heteratractides is provided. The new species can be distinguished from other species by the dorsal shield consisting of two pairs of small dorsal platelets and a large dorsal plate. A key to the known species worldwide of the subgenus is provided. The type specimen is kept in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, P. R. China (GUGC).
- Torrenticolid mites have successfully colonized fresh water habitat including fast flowing streams and springs, and are the dominant group. The Torrenticolidae are divided into two subfamilies, Testudacarinae and Torrenticolinae (Di Sabatino et al., 2010). Of which, the former has only one genus, i.e. Testudacarus, and the latter subfamily includes four genera: Monatractides, Neoatractides, Pseudotorrenticola and Torrenticola. The genus Neoatractides is divided into three subgenera, Neoatractides, Allotorrenticola and Heteratractides (Di Sabatino et al., 2010). At present, two species of the subgenus Heteratractides were reported: N. (H.) serratirostris (Lundblad, 1941) and N. (H.) orientalis (Wiles, 1991). In this paper, the third species is reported from Guangdong Provinces, China, namely N. (H.) proclusterosetus sp. nov., with the diagnosis of the subgenus Heteratractides.
