Mahunka, S.: Zoological collectings of the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Korea 4. Acari: species of Fissicepheus Bal. et Mah., 1965, (Oribatei: Otocepheidae)
Epimeral region. — Epimeral setal formula: 2—0—2—3. Apodeme 1 weakly, ap. sej. comparatively strongly, developed. Epimeral area mottled with irregularly shaped, large spots. Hairs arising on epimere 1 short, whereas hair 3<z long, hair 4a similar to hair lb, hair 4b longer. Anogenital region. — Ornamented, like notogastral surface, with sparsely spaced, minute foveolae. Genital plate smooth, surface of anal plate punctate. Aggential condyli small, situated far from genital plate, outer and inner branches nearly equal in length. Genital hairs minute, flagelliform, anterior and posterior pairs originating near each other. Anal and adanal hairs slightly incrassate, latter ones obtuse, strongly roughened. Hair ad 3 originating aligned with anterior margin of anal opening; adanal fissures iad situated transversely and anteriorly to them, nearer to each other than members of hairs ad z . Legs. — Type of ultimate setae: L —L —L —L. Solenidion o\ of tarsus essentially shorter also in this species than solenidion co 2 . Material examined: 1 ex. (Holotype: 0-1264-70): No. 95-3. Fissieepheus steinmanni sp. n. (Figs. 18—23) We have been successful to collect a large series of this species, hence the essential difference in colour and size between the males and females could be clearly observed. Aside of that between the genital organs, however, no other difference was found. Measurements. — Length of cf • 506—555 p., of 9 : 649—728 u. ; breadth of cf*: 221—269 jx, of 9 : 332—380 p.. Prodorsum. — Rostral apex deeply excised. Lamellae relatively short, hardly or not extending beyond insertional points of lamellar hairs, their proximal end gradually merging into prodorsal surface. Retween rostral and lamellar apices, prodorsal surface with a deep, concave, transverse depression. Prodorsal surface foveolate, stronger near rostrum and dorsosejugal suture than elsewhere, weakest in Ínterlamellar region. Only one pair of notogastral cond}di (co. pi.) developed at base of propodosoma, inner ones absent, replaced by an incrassate transversal line in front of and anteriorly to dorsosejugal suture. Rostral and lamellar setae nearly uniform in length (65 u.), thin, flagelliform. Shape and measurements of Ínterlamellar setae (48 u.) similar to those of notogastral hairs. Exobothridial setae short, simple (17 u,). Sensillus short, its clavus completely rounded. Notogaster. — Its anterior margin with merely the outer pair of condyli (co. nl.) developed, anterior notogastral margin wholly smooth between them. Notogastral surface ornamented with irregularly spaced elongate foveolae. Notogastral setae strongly roughened, varying between 45—57 u.. Hair ta (57 u.) somewhat longer than all other hairs. Notogastral fissures ih and ips situated longitudinally, anteriorly to hairs r 3 . Epimeralregion. — Apodemes weakly developed, thin. Surface of epimeres smooth. All epimeral hairs very long, thin, arcuate, flagelliform, but all slightly roughened. Epimeral setal formula: 2—0—1—3. Anogenital region. — Surface foveolate, similarly to that of notogaster, but somewhat'more sparsely. Genital plate smooth, anal plate foveolate. Aggenital condyli (co. ag.) strongly developed, inner and outer branches of equal length and width. Genital hairs thin, flagelliform, anal and adanal hairs similar to those of notogastral setae. Adanal fissure situated anteriorly to hair ad s .
