Abstract
A new genus belonging to the family Oppiidae, Tainsculptoppia n. gen. is described. Two new endogean Multioppiinae species, Tainsculptoppia graptoppioides n. sp. and Ramusella (Insculptoppia) ramulifera n. sp. , collected on the shores of a riverbed in Eastern Spain, are also described. The new genus Tainsculptoppia is characterized by the presence of well developed c2( ta ) setae on the anterior margin of the notogaster while the new species R. (I.) ramulifera is characterized by its bifurcated branches on the sensillus. Tainsculptoppia subiasi (Perez-Inigo jr., 1990) n. comb. is included in the genus Tainsculptoppia and the species Phthiracarus boresetosus Jacot, 1930 and Platyliodes doderleini (Berlese, 1883) are recorded for the first time in Spain.
Highlights
A new genus belonging to the family Oppiidae, Tainsculptoppia n. gen. is described
The new genus Tainsculptoppia is characterized by the presence of well developed c2 setae on the anterior margin of the notogaster while the new species R. (I.) ramulifera is characterized by its bifurcated branches on the sensillus
Notogáster (Fig. 3): Elíptico, presenta los 9 pares típicos de setas notogastrales del género que son cortas, finas y lisas; en el borde anterior, por detrás de los botridios, se aprecian las fisuras ia, mientras que son también muy patentes las im en la parte central del notogáster
Summary
Este nuevo género se asemeja a Ramusella (Insculptoppia) pero tiene una notable característica distintiva, atípica dentro de los multioppinos, que es el presentar las setas notogastrales c2 bien desarrolladas, aunque ligeramente más cortas que las restantes setas notogastrales, carácter éste también presente, y diagnóstico, en el género ibérico Ramonoppia Morell, 1990, aunque la presencia de 13 pares de setas notogastrales lo diferencia claramente de Tainsculptoppia que sólo presenta 10.
