Abstract
A new species of the genus Flagellozetes (Oribatida: Galumnidae) is described from Taiwan. Flagellozetes (Cosmogalumna) sanqingi Ermilov sp. n. differs from F. (C.) ornatus (Aoki, 1988) by the sculpturing of pteromorphs and genital plates and ornamentation of anal plates.
Highlights
The genus Flagellozetes (Acari: Oribatida: Galumnidae) was proposed by Balogh (1970) with Flagellozetes porosus Balogh, 1970 as type species
During taxonomic identification of oribatid mites from Taiwan, we found a new species belonging to Flagellozetes (Cosmogalumna)
Substrate samples containing oribatid mites were collected near Meihua Lake, Dongshan Township, Yilan County in Taiwan (Fig. 23)
Summary
The genus Flagellozetes (Acari: Oribatida: Galumnidae) was proposed by Balogh (1970) with Flagellozetes porosus Balogh, 1970 as type species. (Flagellozetes) Balogh, 1970 (one species); F. (Cosmogalumna) Aoki, 1988 (13 species); and F. (Variogalumna) Mahunka, 1995 (one species)] (Ermilov & Klimov, 2017). 15 species are distributed in the Oriental, Neotropical and southern Palaearctic regions (Subías, 2020). The generic and subgeneric diagnoses were presented by Ermilov and Klimov (2017). An identification key and data on distribution and habitats of known species of Flagellozetes were provided by Ermilov and Kalúz (2019). During taxonomic identification of oribatid mites from Taiwan, we found a new species belonging to Flagellozetes (Cosmogalumna). The main goal of our paper is to describe and illustrate this new species
