Mahunka, S.: Zoological collectings of the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Korea 4. Acari: species of Fissicepheus Bal. et Mah., 1965, (Oribatei: Otocepheidae)
Anogenital region. — Excepting smooth genital plates, entire surface foveolate, similarly to dorsal side. Aggenital condylus (co. ag.) developed, inner branch undeveloped, outer one long. Genital and aggenital hairs flagelliform, anal and adanal hairs acicular, these latter roughened, similarly to notogastral hairs. Adanal fissure iad situated far anteriorly to hair ad z and anterior margin of anal opening. Legs. — Similar to those of the preceding species. Material examined: 1 ex. (Holotype: 0-1270-70): No. 110-1. Together with the four new species and one new subspecies described herein, the taxa relegated to the genus increased to eight; they can be distinguished by the following key of identification: 1 (12) Two pairs each of well developed condyli on posterior margin of propodosoma and anterior margin of notogaster. 2 (3) Notogastral hairs, Ínterlamellar and adanal setae incised bifurcately elegáns BALOGH & MAHUNKA, 1967. 3 (2) Notogastral as well as Ínterlamellar and adanal hairs whole, acicular or flagelliform. 4 (9) Proximal end of lamellae strongly widened and crenulate anteriorly to insertional point of lamellar hair. 5 (8) Sensillus incrassate, its proximal end with verticillate, long, spiniform projections. Anterior margin of widened portion of lamella with 5 — 6 sharp teeth. 6 (7) Inner condyli (co.pm.) of prodorsum situated far and completely distinct from each other. ínterlamellar setae short, merely half as long as hairs (e.g. r 3 ) of notogastral margin coronarius AOKI, 1967. 7 (6) Prodorsal condyli situated near each other, connected by a thick chitinous ridge. ínterlamellar hair as long as marginal setae of notogaster coronarius koreenais ssp. n. 8 (5) Sensillus weakly incrassate, terminally with a small protuberance, its surface finely aciculate, terminally never with long, spiniform projections. Exterior margin of widened proximal end of lamella sinuous, without teeth mitratus sp. n. 9 (4) Proximal end of lamellae not wider than~at height of Ínterlamellar hair, merging gradually into prodorsal surface. 10 (11) Notogaster ornamented with densely spaced, irregularly shaped but elongate foveolae. Inner hairs of notogaster considerably shorter than outer marginal setae. Epimeral setae la and lb of uniform length, shorter than hairs 4a and 4b clavatus (AOKI, 1959). 11 (10) Notogaster ornamented with sparsely spaced, rounded foveolae. Notogastral hairs of uniform length. Epimeral setae la and 3a essentially longer than the others subclavatus sp. n. 12 (1) Only one pair of condyli developed on posterior margin of propodosoma and anterior margin of notogaster: inner ones (co.pm. and co.nm.) not developed. 13 (14) Notogaster emitting 10 pairs of hairs. Rostral apex cleft, excised in a U-shape. Spatium lamelliforme laterale strongly widened, thus prodorsum fungiform anteriorly elaviopsis sp. n. 14 (13) Notogaster emitting 14 pairs of hairs. Rostral apex rounded. Spatium lamelliforme laterale well developed but not forming a fungiform appendage steinmanni sp. n.
