Abstract
ABSTRACTA new species of Tenuipalpus, T. sarcophilus n. sp. (Tenuipalpidae) is described from specimens collected from several species of ornamental succulent plants in Florida, including Crassula tetragona L, Sedum spp., Echeveria spp., Pachyphytum spp. (Crassulaceae) and Aloe spp. (Asphodelaceae), and from specimens intercepted in USA on Echeveria gibbiflora from Guatemala. The feeding damage and possible origin of T. sarcophilus n. sp. is discussed. Tenuipalpus crassulu Baker and Tuttle 1972 is redescribed based on females, deutonymphs and a protonymph remounted from the original type series. The pattern of additions of leg setae through ontogenetic development is presented for T. sarcophilus n. sp. and discussed in relation to related tenuipalpid taxa and the Tetranychidae. A list of Tenuipalpus currently known from Florida is presented.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank:zoobank.org:pub:695E5768-97A7-45B6-9CD1-B3E3D680AD93
