FOLIA ENTOMOLOG ICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK LIV 1993 p. 47^19 Myianoetus lili sp. n. (Acari: Anoetidae) educed from manure, Assiut, Upper Egypt By S. A. Eraky (Received March 1, 1993) Myianoetus Uli sp. n. (Acari: Anoetidae) educed from manure, Assiut, Upper Kgypt. - Anoetidae and Acaridac deutonymphs inhabit manure, soil and litter of animal-sheds at Assiut, Upper Egypt were examined. A new species was investigated and nominated as: Myianoetus lili sp. n. The morphological characters of the new mite are described below. Myianoetus lili sp. n. Measurements: Length: 218-221 p.m. breadth: 162-171 p.m. Dorsal side (Fig. 1.): Propodosomatic surface smooth, hysterosomatic surface ornamented with round or oval foveolae of diverse size and with fine punctulae between them. There is one rhomboidal pair situated anterolaterally of the notogaster. All dorsal hairs are long and rigid, propodosomatic hairs are of equal length, arising near anterior margin. Dorsosejugal region observable, ornamental with transverse striation. Ventral side ((Fig. 2): Gnathosoma (Fig. 3) long and narrow, its terminal hairs are very long. Sternum (Fig. 2) and apodemes 2 are short, but united posteriorly with a punctulate area up to apodemes 3. Ventrum is long, reaching apodemes 3, apodeme 2 with fold before its postrior end. Coxal areas 1 and 3 are without any sculpture. Suctorial plate is large, with a pair of very small anterior suckers, a pair of large posterior suckers and anterolaterally of the anterior suckers there are 4 very small circular structure, arranged along a transverse line. Legs: Solenidion coi on leg I (Fig. 4) is situated dorsally on apex of tibia I. Solenidion coi of tarsus II thick, situated at the base of tarsus of leg II (Fig. 5), both legs are with a setiform terminal seta, longer on tarsus I. Solenidion of genu I is very long and minute on genu II, outer spine on genu of both legs are long. Leg IV is small, its terminal hair extraordinarily long. Type material: Holotype and 10 paratypes extracted from animal sheds Assiut, Egypt, 15.07.1992, one paratype deposited in the Arachnoidea Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Remarks: The ornamentation on dorsal surface, the robust dorsal setae, the constrution of suctorial plate and the shape and chaetotaxy on legs I and II differentiate the new species from other closely related species of Myianoetus described by Mahunka (1972) and Fain (1980).
