Kontschán, J.: Uropodina species from East Africa III. A new genus and five new species of Uropodina (Acari: Mesostigmata) from Shimba Hills (Kenya)

Trachyuropoda marginalia sp. n. (Figs 24-29) Diagnosis - All dorsal and ventral setae T-shaped. Marginal shield on anterior part of dorsal side wide. Ornamentation of dorsal and ventral shields alveolar. One pair of furrows on lateral part of dorsal shield, furrows without long hairs. Genital shield of female large and scutiform. Description - Female. Length of idiosoma 920 urn, width 640 urn. Shape alveolar, posterior margin rounded. Dorsal side (Fig. 24): dorsal shield well-sclerotized. All dorsal setae T-shaped and ornamentation of dorsal shield alveolate (Fig. 25). One pair of furrows on lateral part of dorsal shield can be found. Furrows without long hairs. Marginal shield on anterior part of idiosoma wide and apical part widely triangular. Marginal setae wide and T-shaped. Ornamentation on marginal shield lacking. Ventral side (Fig. 26): sternal setae not clearly visible, ornamentation on sternal shield lacking. All ventral setae T-shaped. Ventral shield with alveolar ornamentation. Peritrema not clearly visible. Anal plate is shown in Fig 27. Genital shield situated between 2 and 4 coxa, large and scutiform, without ornamentation. Gnathosoma (Fig. 28) not clearly visible. Laciniae with several branches, their margin with long hairs. Three of hypostomal setae clearly visible. Two (h2 and h3) of them setiform with serrated margin, h4 short and trifurcate. Base of tritosternum narrow, without spines, lacininae with four visible branches, their apical parts with long hairs. Epistoma triangular with hairs (Fig. 29), chcliccrac not clearly visible. Male, deuteronymph, protonymph and larva unknown. Material examined - Holotype: female, "Kenya, Shimba Hills, Kwale, from soil and litter, 30.06.1992. leg. S. Mahunka & L. Mahunka-Papp". Etymology - This species is named after the widened posterior part of the marginal shield. Remarks - The new species belongs to the Trachyuropoda canestriniana (BERLESE, 1891) group, from which one species is known from Africa (Trachyuropoda athiasae HIRSCHMANN, 1975). T. athiasae is narrower than the new species, and bears several long setae near the dorsal furrows. Nenteria shimbaensis sp. n. (Figs 30-34) Diagnosis - Idiosoma oblong. All dorsal, marginal and ventral setae smooth and setiform. Ornamentation on dorsal and marginal shields lacking, ventral shield with dotted ornamentation. Genital shield of female oblong and oval, with process on anterior margin. Perigenital line present. Description - Female. Length of idiosoma 500 pm, width 260 pm. Shape oblong, posterior margin rounded. Dorsal side (Fig. 30): all dorsal and marginal setae smooth and setiform. Ornamen-
