Abstract

The present study aimed to develop taxonomic keys to the world species of the genus Bryobia, categorized into three subgenera: Allobia Livschits & Mitrofanov, Bryobia s. str. Koch, and Lyobia Livschits & Mitrofanov. Published descriptions, redescriptions, and illustrations of a total of 149 world species were thoroughly analyzed. The taxonomic notes on the status of the species in the species groups of each subgenus are discussed in detail. The variability of morphological characters found among different populations of a species is discussed. As a result, 116 species of the genus Bryobia were classified in three diagnostic keys, with 22, 43, and 51 species assigned to the three subgenera Allobia, Bryobia, and Lyobia, respectively. The population of B.neoribis Tuttle & Baker from Utah, USA, should be re-identified through type examination due to differences from the original description of the species. Additionally, taxonomic notes are provided on the status of the remaining 33 species, and arguments are provided on suggested synonyms among them.

苔藓螨属Mites（蜱螨目，叶螨科）：部分种的分类学注释和世界种的诊断关键。

本研究旨在建立苔藓属世界种的分类钥匙，将其划分为3个亚属：Allobia Livschits & Mitrofanov、Bryobia s. str. Koch和Lyobia Livschits & Mitrofanov。对已发表的149种世界物种的描述、重描述和插图进行了全面分析。详细讨论了该物种在各亚属种群中的分类学地位。讨论了同一物种不同居群间形态特征的变异。结果表明，116种苔藓属植物被划分为3个诊断键，其中22种、43种和51种分别归属于Allobia亚属、Bryobia亚属和Lyobia亚属。美国犹他州的neoribis Tuttle & Baker种群由于与原始物种描述存在差异，需要通过类型鉴定对其进行重新鉴定。此外，本文还对其余33个种的现状进行了分类说明，并对其中的建议近义词进行了论证。
