The prelarva and larva of Opilioacarus (Neocarus) texanus (Chamberlin and Mulaik, 1942) are described based on reared specimens. The larval description focuses on the pattern of setae, lyrifissures, and glands in order to test the hypothesis that these structures can be homologized among larvae of all suborders of the Parasitiformes. The distribution pattern of lyrifissures and setae on the hysterosoma of opilioacarid larvae appears to be the most complete pattern of these structures in the…

A new opilioacarid species (Parasitiformes: Opilioacarida) from Crete (Greece) with notes on its karyotype

Comparison with data of the ixodids and mesostigmatids indicates that a low number of chromosomes and predomination of acrocentric chromosomes could be plesiomorphies of the parasitiform mites.

The first fossil opilioacariform mite (Acari: Opilioacariformes) and the first Baltic amber camel spider (Solifugae)

ABSTRACT The first fossil opilioacariform mite (Acari: Opilioacariformes), Paracarus pristinus sp. n., is described from Baltic amber (Tertiary: Eocene). This well-preserved inclusion has six eyes…

HOLOTHYRIDS AND TICKS: NEW INSIGHTS FROM LARVAL MORPHOLOGY AND DNA SEQUENCING, WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF DIPLOTHYRUS (PARASITIFORMES: NEOTHYRIDAE)

Analysis of sequence data for three loci provided strong evidence for (1) the monophyly of Holothyrida, (2) a close relationship between Holothsyrida and Ixodida, and (3) a grouping of the "large bodied" Parasitiformes (Opilioacarida, Holothyrsia, and IXo- dida), with the exclusion of Mesostigmata.

Two new sympatric species of cave-dwelling Neocarus (Acari: Opilioacaridae) from the Bambuí limestone group, Brazil

Two new species from Peruaçu Caves National Park, Minas Gerais state are described, one of which presents six or more d type setae on the palp, with a stout and rounded lobe.

Fine structure of the gnathosoma of Archegozetes longisetus Aoki (Acari: Oribatida, Trhypochthoniidae)

The gnathosoma is generally considered the most relevant putative synapomorphy of Acari and a thorough reinvestigation of this body part is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of acarine and even arachnid phylogeny and evolution.

Filogenia, biogeografia e ecologia de ácaros Opilioacarida With 1904 (Acari: Parasitiformes)

A first cladistic analysis for the Opilioacarida is proposed, using morphological characters, and it is shown that genera Neocarus, Caribeacarus and Brasilacarus are paraphyletic in relation to Amazonacarus; SalfACarus and Panchaetes not have enough characters to be considered distinct genera; and relations among Indiacarus, Phalangiacarus and OpILioacarus is unclear.

A new species of Neocarus Chamberlin & Mulaik, 1942 (Opilioacarida, Opilioacaridae) from Brazil, with remarks on its postlarval development

Neocarus proteus is the only species in the genus that has smooth or barbed genital setae and that carries coronidia on the basitarsi, tibiae and genua of legs II–III.

A new species of Neocarus (Opilioacaridae) from a Brazilian ferruginous geosystem and notes on natural history

A new species of Neocarus is described from adult female and male specimens collected from an epigean and hypogean ferruginous geosystem located in southeast Brazil, and possesses 15–17 ch-type palp setae, nude female pregenital Sternitogenital region, cylindrical ovipositor without setae.
