Abstract

Parasitengona is a diverse group of Prostigmata, including mites with life cycles that include important morphological changes between larva and deutonymph, an evolutionary novelty not shared by its closely related taxa (Halacaridae, Pezidade or Anystidae). Allotanaupodoidea is a superfamily of Parasitengona, known solely by the post-larval instars, that differs from the remaining Parasitengona mainly due to the lack of trichobothria in the prodorsal shield. Allotanaupodoidea has a single family Allotanaupodidae with six species distributed in two subfamilies, Allotanaupodinae Zhang & Fan, 2007 and Paratanaupodinae Zhang & Fan, 2007, with one and two genera, respectively. In the present study, we describe the larva of Allotanaupodus winksi Zhang & Fan, 2007 from New Zealand associated with the deutonymph by means of cytochrome oxidase I barcoding. The description reveals a remarkable resemblance between larval and post larval specimens of A. winksi, a condition approached among Parasitengona only by Calyptostomatidae.

缺失的变态DNA 条形码揭示出 Allotanaupodoidea 幼虫与后生阶段极为相似

寄生螨（Parasitengona）是一个种类繁多的原螨类群，其中包括生命周期在幼虫和脱螨之间发生重要形态变化的螨类，这是与寄生螨密切相关的类群（Halacaridae、Pezidade 或 Anystidae）所不具备的进化新特征。Allotanaupodoidea是寄生天牛科的一个超科，仅从幼虫的后龄期可知，它与其他寄生天牛科的区别主要在于前胸盾片缺乏三齿。Allotanaupodoidea 有一个单科 Allotanaupodidae，有 6 个种，分布在两个亚科，即 Allotanaupodinae Zhang & Fan, 2007 和 Paratanaupodinae Zhang & Fan, 2007，分别有 1 属和 2 属。在本研究中，我们通过细胞色素氧化酶 I 条形码技术描述了来自新西兰的 Allotanaupodus winksi Zhang & Fan, 2007 的幼虫，该幼虫与去鳞翅目相关。描述显示，A. winksi 的幼虫标本与后幼虫标本之间存在明显的相似性，这种情况在副天牛科中只有 Calyptostomatidae 能够达到。

期刊介绍： Systematic and Applied Acarology (SAA) is an international journal of the Systematic and Applied Acarology Society (SAAS). The journal is intended as a publication outlet for all acarologists in the world. There is no page charge for publishing in SAA. If the authors have funds to publish, they can pay US$20 per page to enable their papers published for open access. SAA publishes papers reporting results of original research on any aspects of mites and ticks. Due to the recent increase in submissions, SAA editors will be more selective in manuscript evaluation: (1) encouraging more high quality non-taxonomic papers to address the balance between taxonomic and non-taxonomic papers, and (2) discouraging single species description (see new special issues for single new species description) while giving priority to high quality systematic papers on comparative treatments and revisions of multiple taxa. In addition to review papers and research articles (over 4 printed pages), we welcome short correspondence (up to 4 printed pages) for condensed version of short papers, comments on other papers, data papers (with one table or figure) and short reviews or opinion pieces. The correspondence format will save space by omitting the abstract, key words, and major headings such as Introduction.
