A subterranean new genus and species of Eutrombidiinae (Trombidiformes: Microtrombidiidae) from Turkey

ArticleAçık Erişim

Özet

A new genus and species of the Microtrombidiidae, Troglotrombidium dolichopodum n. gen. et n. sp. is described based on ectoparasitic larvae collected from two Dolichopoda lycia (Galvagni 2006) (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae) specimens from a cave in Western Taurus Mountains, Turkey. The new genus can be distinguished from other genera by the absence of eyes, highly modified claws of tarsi III, sensillary setae structure of the anterior dorsal scutum, and the number of adoral setae. The new species is a typical troglobite, and this interspecific interaction is a well-documented case for the little-known host-parasite relationships from subterranean ecosystems. © 2023 Systematic and Applied Acarology Society.

dc.description.sponsorshipWe wish to express our gratitude to Dr. Andreas Wohltmann for constructive taxonomic discussionand advice, and Dr. Mehmet Sait Taylan (Hakkari University, Turkey) for the identification of thecave crickets. This study is part of the results of the cave exploration and registration projects forconservation and management supported by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change, Directorate of Protection of Natural Assets, Republic of Turkey. We are also grateful tosportive cavers registered in Kasif Consulting, Reporting, Organization Company, and TurkishCaving Federation, who assisted the organization and implementation of the fieldwork.
