Two new species of Tarsonemus (Acari: Tarsonemidae) from Bahia, Brazil
Systematic and Applied Acarology, 2020Co-Authors: André Silva Guimarães Sousa, Antonio C. Lofego, José Marcos Rezende, Ronald Ochoa, Gary R. Bauchan, Connor J. Gulbronson, Anibal Ramadan OliveiraAbstract:The Tarsonemidae (Acari: Prostigmata) exhibit a high diversity of feeding habits and morphological structures, which allow them to live in a diversity of habitats. Tarsonemus is the largest genus, with more than 280 described species belonging to three subgenera: Tarsonemus sensu stricto, Chaetotarsonemus and Schaarschmidtia. Eight species of the genus have been reported from Brazil. In addition, there are two new species, Tarsonemus cacaosp. nov. from Theobroma cacao L. (Malvaceae) branches, and Tarsonemus bahiensissp. nov. from Passiflora foetida L. (Passifloraceae) and Etlingera elatior Jack (Zingiberaceae) leaves. Both new species were collected in a cabruca agroforest, a traditional cacao cultivation system in the southern coast region of Bahia state. The new Tarsonemidae are described and illustrated here. Pharyngeal and gnathosomal structures of the new species are compared to other Tarsonemus species.

Steneotarsonemus spinki Smiley (Acari: Tarsonemidae) — A yield reducing mite of rice crops in West Bengal, India
International Journal of Acarology, 2008Co-Authors: Krishna KarmakarAbstract:Abstract The rice mite, Steneotarsonemus spinki Smiley (Acari: Tarsonemidae), was observed for the first time as a serious pest of rice crops in West Bengal. Susceptibility and tolerance level of twelve most commonly grown rice cultivars were evaluated against the mite during the wet season of 2002–2003. Damage, visible on leaf sheaths and on grain as brownish patches, led to an increase in chaffy grain and loss of yield. None of the cultivars were found to be resistant, however, the rice cultivars MTU-7029 (83.33 mites/sheath) and IR-64 (160.00 mites/sheath) were recorded as ‘tolerant’ and IR-36(570.00 mites/sheath) and IET-4094 (496.67 mites/sheath) were recorded as ‘susceptible.’ Among the characters studied, only chaffy grain and grain yield had significant positive or negative correlation, respectively, with the occurrence of the mite.

Tarsonemidae of China: a review of progress on the systematics and biology, with an updated checklist of species
Zoosymposia, 2010Co-Authors: Jianzhen Lin, Zhi-qiang ZhangAbstract:This paper reviews the research on the taxonomy, biology and control of mites in the family Tarsonemidae in China, with an updated checklist of 105 species belonging to 16 genera and 3 subfamilies. Major contributions to the Chinese fauna of the Tarsonemidae were made by Yang Qing-Shuan, Ding Ting-Zhong and colleagues in Shanhgai, Lin Jian-Zhen and his colleagues in Fujian, Tseng Yi-Hsiung and Ho Chyi-Chen in Taiwan, and Yin Sui-Gong and his students in Liaoning. There have been relatively few studies on the biology and control of the Tarsonemidae in China and these are briefly reviewed.

Tarsonemidae of China (Acari: Prostigmata): An Annotated and Illustrated Catalogue and Bibliography
Systematic and Acarology Acarology Special Publications, 1999Co-Authors: Jianzhen Lin, Zhi-qiang ZhangAbstract:This catalogue provides information for 93 species belonging to 15 genera in three subfamilies of the Tarsonemidae known from China. For each taxon, the following information is provided (1) synonyms, (2) bibliographic information and (3) notes (in parenthesis) indicating the content of the papers cited. Illustrations are included for most species described from China in journals not commonly available in libraries outside China. It is noted that Cheylotarsonemus minutus Tseng & Lo, 1980 is preoccupied by Lupotarsonemus minutus Attiah, 1970, both now placed in Tarsonemus. Tarsonemus brevicorpus Lin nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement name for minutus Tseng & Lo.
