La Réunion Island

The Indian Ocean includes several Islands and Archipelagos and a survey of the fauna of Phytoseiidae was realized recently in these poorly known territories, despite La Réunion Island is located in an area being a hotspot of biodiversity. The Phytoseiidae fauna of La Réunion Island has been poorly investigated so far with only 33-recorded species including 24 Amblyseiinae, 5 Phytoseiinae and 4 Typhlodrominae, among which 8 species that had been described as new. All data concerning La Réunion have been published in nine papers until now. New results of surveys done recently (2015-2018) are presented in this tenth paper and add 19 newly recorded species among which 3 are new to Science and 21 already known species but with additional data. Among these 19 species, at least nine are already well known as biological control agents (BCA). Demonstration of the natural occurrence of already known efficient BCA in these territories is consequently of great agricultural and commercial interests, in addition of the contribution to fundamental knowledge of biodiversity of these poorly known territories.

This paper deals with a collection of epigean water mites from southern Iran. One new genus, Iranobates, and three new species are described: Iranobates hesabii, Arrenurus iranicus and A. kermanensis. The following species are reported for the first time for Iran: Limnesia pinguipalpis Cook, 1967, Atractides omanensis Smit & Pešić, 2010, Neumania indentata Smit & Pešić 2010, and N. maharashtris Cook, 1967.

Three New Species

A diverse eutardigrade fauna of the family Eohypsibiidae Bertolani & Kristensen, 1987 was collected on the Faroe Islands. The first record of Bertolanius weglarskae (Dastych, 1972) and new records of Eohypsibius nadjae Kristensen, 1982 are documented. The new genus Austeruseus is established and three new species, Austeruseus faeroensis, nov. sp., A. balduri nov. sp. and A. rokuri nov. sp. are described. The genus differentiates from the genera Bertolanius and Eohypsibius in the buccal tube. The apophyses for the insertion of stylet muscles are (two or six) lateral hooks and the entire length of the mouth and buccal tube are straight in Austeruseus, while Bertolanius and Eohypsibius have the apophyses for the insertion of stylet muscles as crests with ventral and dorsal hooks, and the mouth and buccal tube are flared or trumpet shaped. With five species the Faroese tardigrade fauna is the richest in the world with regard to the family Eohypsibiidae. The genus Austeruseus is primarily found in mosses at high mountain biotopes, and the new genus may be a glacial relic.

Ostracod Species

During surveys of a variety of groundwater, spring and interstitial habitats (e.g. in river bars, domestic wells, springs, and seeps) in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, a total of 15 ostracod species were recovered and identified. Three species and one genus are described for the first time herein, Undulacandona spinula n. gen & n. sp., Cryptocandona tsukagoshii n. sp. and Cavernocypris cavernosa n. sp.. Microdarwinula zimmeri (Menzel, 1916) is reported for the first time from Japan. Dolerocypris ikeyai Smith & Kamiya, 2006, Eucypris pigra (Fischer, 1851) and Cryptocandona brehmi (Klie, 1934) are new records for Shiga Prefecture.

Mascarene Archipelago

We report here a new species belonging to Nephus (Nephus) Mulsant. Nephus (Nephus) apoloniasp. nov. was collected in the Reunion Island (Mascarene Archipelago, Indian Ocean). We describe this new species and redescribe and illustrate three other Nephus species already known from Reunion: Nephus (Nephus) oblongosignatus Mulsant, 1850, Nephus (Geminosipho) reunioni (Fürsch, 1974) and Nephus (Nephus) voeltzkowi Weise, 1910. Furthermore, we present a phylogenetic tree for these four species and calculate the genetic distances between them, using high-throughput DNA sequencing of the mitochondrial genome. The similar external morphology of N. apoloniasp. nov. and N. voeltzkowi very probably explains why individuals from the first species have been mistakenly identified as the latter and were not recognized as different until now. Other than external and genitalia traits, the present study provides molecular evidence confirming these are indeed two different species.
