Abstract:

The external morphology of rare soil inhabiting mites belonging to the monobasic family Stigmocheylidae (Acari: Prostigmata) is examined, based on the material from North America. Homologies of all studied morphological structures with those ofother prostigmatic mites are established. An expanded taxonomic diagnosis of the family isprovided for the first time. Two new species from North America are described, Stigmocheylus americanus sp. nov. and S. oberon sp. nov. These species differ from S. brevisetusBerlese, 1910, the type species of the genus, by the longer body 510 and 630 μm,respectively (vs. 380 in S. brevisetus) and by the absence of setae c3. Stigmocheylusoberon sp. nov. differs from S. americanus sp. nov. by the absence of g2 (vs. its presencein S. americanus), and by leg setation: setae ve’ and ve” on tarsi II–III; v’ on tibia IV, l1,l”1, v’1 on genu I, l” on telofemur III, l’ on telofemur IV, l” on basifemur I, d on basifemurII, and 4c on coxa IV are present (vs. absence of these setae in S. americanus sp. nov.). All three species differ from S. pilosus (Soliman et Zaher, 1975), the second formerly known species of this family, by having the non segmented peritremes.
