ner pairs originating far anteriorly from the outer ones. Their insertion points connected by arched lines. Dorsosejugal region striate. Hysterosoma with a small humeral apophysis. Surface smooth medially and ornamented by characteristical polygonal reticulation laterally. All setae of hysterosoma short and thin. Ventral side (Fig. 16): Infracapitulum small, with short palpi. Solenidia also short. Anterior sternal apodema ending free, ap. 2 fused with the straight (!) sejugal apodemes. Latter have a small lateral arch. Posterior sternal apodema also fused with the sejugal ones. Epimeres 1, 3 and 4 bearing well-developed suckers. Adhering plate normal, originating comparatively far from the posterior margin of hysterosoma. Legs: All joints of legs I (Fig. 17) and n (Fig. 18) short and broad. Tibia of both legs with broad and sharp lateral edge (Fig. 19). Group of solenidia of leg I. with only 3 members, oJ^ very long, nearly as long as q> |. Solenidium co j of leg II much longer than Wj, Tarsi of legs m (Fig. 20) and IV (Fig 21) each with short and thin end-setae. Type material: Holotype (1258-HA-87): Szentendre, com. Pest, 31.IX. 1986. Excrement of cows in the agriculture area. leg. S. A. ERAKY; 1 paratype: from the same sample. Holotype deposited in the HNHM and paratype in the MHNG. Remarks: The unique surface sculpture and the straight sejugal apodemes of the new species separate it from all, heretofore known Anoetidae species. We dedicate the new species to Prof. Dr. Tyler A. WOOLLEY (USA), the renown acarologist. Syringanoetus faini sp. n. Measurements. - Length: 224-234 p, width: 150-156 urn. Dorsal side (Fig. 22): Propodosoma small, narrow, both pairs of prodorsal setae short, thin and simple. Dorsosejugal region with fine sculpture consisting of very short lines. End of hysterosoma elongate, its lateral margin slightly concave, its surface ornamented by large pustules, forming polygonal reticulation. Setae of hysterosoma directed forwards, setae cj and c 2 arising along a longitudinal line. Ventral side (Fig. 23): Infracapitulum very narrow and long, palpiscarcely distinct. Solenidium also long. Apodemes and epimeres similar to the apodemes of Syringanoetus vandenberghi Fain, 1980, however, some features in the sejugal region different (Figs 24-25). Legs: All legs characteristically shorter than those of the type species of Syringanoetus Fain, 1980. Their shape as given on Figs 26-30. Type material: Holotype (1259-HA-87): Szentendre, com. Pest, 4.VI. 1986. Excrement of cows in the agriculture area; 1 paratype: from the same sample. Holotype deposited int the HNHM and paratype in the MHNG. Remarks: The new species stands very near to the type specles + of the newly described genus S yringanoetus Fain. 1980 from Rwanda (!). The new species may be distinguished from it by the following characters: vandenberghi Fain, 1980 faini sp.n. 1. Hysterosoma smooth. 1. Hysterosoma ornamented by pustules forming polygonal reticulation. 2. Tarsus I. long (100-110 um). 2. Tarsus I short (85-88 pm). 3. Sejugal apodemes arched. 3. Sejugal apodemes nearly straight. We dedicate the new species to Dr. Alex FAIN (Belgium), the renown acarologist, for his help in this investigation. + For the examination of our specimens and for the loan of the type of the.genus we should like to express our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Alex FAIN.
