Contributions to the knowledge of oribatid mites of Indonesia. 2. The genus Pergalumna (Galumnidae) with description of a new species and key to known species in the Oriental region (Acari, Oribatida).

A new species of oribatid mite of the genus Pergalumna (Oribatida, Galumnidae) is described from litter and soil materials in Sumatra, Indonesia. Pergalumna paraindistincta sp. n. is morphologically most similar to Pergalumna indistincta Ermilov & Anichkin, 2011, Pergalumna pertrichosa Mahunka, 1995 and Pergalumna sura Balogh, 1997; however, the new species differs from Pergalumna indistincta by the smaller body size, presence of long adanal setae ad 1, and large, single median pore in females and males; from Pergalumna pertrichosa by the smaller body size, presence of three pairs of notogastral porose areas, elongated A1 and minute anal setae; from Pergalumna sura by the presence of strong adanal setae ad 1, large, single median pore in females and males, and shorter bothridial setae. Furthermore, Pergalumna hawaiiensis hawaiiensis (Jacot, 1934) and Pergalumna panayensis Ermilov & Corpuz-Raros, 2015 are recorded for the first time in the Indonesian fauna. An identification key to the known species of Pergalumna in the Oriental region is given.

Introduction

This work is a part of a continuing study on the Indonesian fauna of oribatid mites, and it includes the data on the genus Grandjean, 1936 (, ). During taxonomic identification, four species were identified, including one new to science. The primary goal of the paper is to present data on the specific localities, notes on new records and overall known distributions of registered taxa and to describe the new species.

is a genus that was proposed by Grandjean (1936) with Berlese, 1914 as type species. Based on an updated generic diagnosis (Ermilov et al. 2013b), it comprises more than 140 species (Subías 2004, updated 2015; Ermilov and Bayartogtokh 2015; Ermilov and Corpuz-Raros 2015) having collectively a cosmopolitan distribution (Subías 2004, updated 2015). The identification keys to selected species were given by Shaldybina (1975), Balogh and Balogh (1990, 2002), Weigmann (2006), and Ermilov et al. (2014b). The secondary goal of the paper is to provide an identification key to known species of in the Oriental region.

Materials and methods

Exact collection locality and habitat are given in the respective “Material examined” section for each species.

Specimens were mounted in lactic acid on temporary cavity slides for measurement and illustration. The body length was measured in lateral view, from the tip of the rostrum to the posterior edge of the ventral plate. Notogastral width refers to the maximum width in dorsal aspect. Lengths of body setae were measured in lateral aspect. All body measurements are presented in micrometers. Formulas for leg setation are given in parentheses according to the sequence trochanter–femur–genu–tibia–tarsus (famulus included). Formulas for leg solenidia are given in square brackets according to the sequence genu–tibia–tarsus.

General terminology used in this paper follows that of Grandjean (summarized by Norton and Behan-Pelletier 2009).

Drawings were made with a camera lucida using a Carl Zeiss transmission light microscope “Axioskop-2 Plus”.

All specimens were collected by Bernhard Klarner (15.XI.2013) and identified and collected to morphospecies level by Dorothee Sandmann.

Type deposition.

The holotype is deposited in LIPI (Indonesian Institute of Science) Cibinong, Indonesia; three paratypes are in the collection of the Senckenberg Museum, Görlitz, Germany; seven paratypes are in the collection of the Tyumen State University Museum of Zoology, Tyumen, Russia.

Etymology.

The specific name paraindistincta refers to the morphological similarity of the new species to Ermilov & Anichkin, 2011.

Remarks.

sp. n. is morphologically most similar to Ermilov & Anichkin, 2011 from Vietnam (see Ermilov and Anichkin 2011b) and Balogh, 1997 from the Neotropical region (see Balogh 1997; Ermilov et al. 2014a) in having rounded rostrum, well-developed prodorsal setae, setiform and ciliate of bothridial setae, three pairs of notogastral porose areas, transversally oriented Aa and strongly elongated, longitudinally oriented A1, and the absence of anterior notogastral margin as well as postanal porose area. However, the new species differs from both by the presence of strong adanal setae ad1 (vs. minute in and ) and large, single median pore in females and males (vs. median pore absent in males and represented by several foveae in females in , and absent in females and males in ). Additionally, the new species is smaller than (415–481 × 298–365 vs. 547–614 × 381–415) and has shorter bothridial setae than .

Furthermore, sp. n. is morphologically similar to Mahunka, 1995 from Borneo (see Mahunka 1995) in having a rounded rostrum, well developed prodorsal setae, setiform and ciliate bothridial setae, strong adanal setae ad1, a single median pore, and the absence of an anterior notogastral margin. However, the new species differs from the latter by the smaller body size (415–481 × 298–365 vs. 550–608 × 413–454 in ), presence of three pairs of notogastral porose areas with elongated A1 (vs. four pairs of porose areas with A1 rounded in ) and minute anal setae (vs. well developed in ).

Key to known species of in the Oriental region

At present, 45 species/subspecies of are known in the Oriental region (Subías 2004, updated 2015; including present and personal data of the first author).

(Willmann, 1931) from Java (see Willmann 1931), (Sellnick, 1925) from Sumatra (see Sellnick 1925) and Subías, 2004 from Taiwan (see Tseng 1984 as Tseng, 1984) are excluded from the key because these species have been poorly described.

(Ewing, 1907) from the Holarctic and Oriental regions (see Ewing 1907; Jacot 1934b), (Willmann, 1931) from the Holarctic, Neotropical and Oriental regions and Polynesia (see Willmann 1931; Jacot 1934b; Hammer 1958, 1961, 1972), (Berlese, 1914) from the Ethiopian, Neotropical, Oriental and Palaearctic regions, and Hawaii and U.S.A. (see Weigmann 2006; Ermilov et al. 2013c), Tseng, 1984 from Taiwan (see Tseng 1984) and (Tseng, 1984) from Taiwan (see Tseng 1984) were not included because systematic placement of these species is not clear. We consider as a representative of the genus Heyden, 1826 (see Ermilov et al. 2013c). , and Tseng, 1984 have distinct notogastral setae, which are not traits for (see generic diagnosis in Ermilov et al. 2013b); these species are poorly described and redescribed; however, based on available data they should be considered as representatives of the genus Grandjean, 1936 or Balogh, 1960 (depending on presence or absence of lamellar lines). PageBreak has 14 pairs of notogastral setal alveoli, developed lamellae directed to insertions of lamellar setae and pteromorphs without setae (Tseng 1984); most likely this species is a representative of the subgenus Berlese, 1914 (, ), and it is morphologically most similar to Ermilov, Shtanchaeva & Subías, 2014 from Vietnam (see Ermilov et al. 2014d) and Willmann, 1956 from “Czechoslovakia” (see Willmann 1956) in having tubercles on pteromorphs and some other characters.
