A morphological re-evaluation of Pachyseiushumeralis Berlese, 1910 (Acari, Mesostigmata, Pachylaelapidae).

ABSTRACT: Based on features of the lectotype and newly collected specimens from Italy (Boboli Gardens, Florence), a morphological concept of Pachyseiushumeralis Berlese, 1910 is revised and re-evaluated. New diagnostic character states important for recognition of the species are provided. A misidentified species, formerly widely published in Europe under the name P.humeralis, is established as a new species, Pachyseiussubhumeralis sp. n.
