Studios on the Mite Fauna of Hungary I. (Aeari) By S. MAHUNKA, Budapest 1. Data to our Knowledge on the Anoetids On the occurrence in Hungary of mite species belonging to the family Anoetidae, I have already submitted some smaller papers. Still, the number of species shown from this country is far below the taxa already known from neighbouring countries, species which must therefore occur also in Hungary. The preparation of a comprehensive paper for the great serial work, "The Fauna of Hungary", set the task of a more intensive study of our fauna with respect to also this family of animals. In the course of investigations, a number of species already known from Hungary have been demonstrated from new localities. Also, an additional 14 species have been found which proved to be new for the region, indeed, 3 also for science. Some materials deriving from the Carpathian Basin but outside the borders of Hungary, have also been found; they are included in the present paper. Anoetus cossi (SCHEUCHER, 1957) Locality: Valley of the Feketepatak, Mts. Börzsöny, 10 Sept., 1967, leg. S. MAHUNKA. Anoetus gordius VITZTHUM, 1923 Localities: Vácrátót (Hypophloeus bicolor*), 2 June, 1942, leg. Z. KASZAB; Kőszeg (Ips typographus ), Sept., 1936, leg. Students of the L. Eötvös University of Sciences. Anoetus inchoatus sp. n. Length: 133-145 p., width: 95-102 |i. Dorsal side (Fig. 1): Notocephale approximately triangular, apically finely rounded, laterally sinuous. Notocephalic hairs slightly longer than those of notogaster; surface of this latter densely but finely punctate. Ventral side (Fig. 2): Body of gnathosoma and terminal hairs equally short, lateral margins sHghtly convex. Sternum short, epimeres 2 gradually attenuating, epimeres 3 similarly, not touching one another, neither epimeres 2 reaching them ; epimeres 4 strikingly thick ; ventrum short, hardly exceeding their anterior margin. Suctorial disk of first coxal area situated partly below epimere ; suctorial disk near genital opening considerably larger than those on coxal areas 1 and 3. Suctorial plate large, about one and a half times longer than wide. Legs: Tarsus of leg 1 long (Fig. 7), all other joints strikingly short. "Tarsal group" comprising three members, œ 1 much shorter and thinner than u) 2 . Sensory hair extending almost to apex of tarsus. Legs 3 and 4 simple, terminal hairs short. * All beetle species identified by Dr. S. ENDEODI.
