Abstract
ABSTRACT In the present study, we use morphological data and DNA barcodes to describe a new species, i.e. Monatractides corsicus sp. nov. from Corsica, France. The new species belongs to the M. stadleri-complex which includes at least four distinct genetic lineages in the Western Palaearctic. Morphologically, the new species can be identified on the basis of a comparatively large palp, thick chelicera and the colour pattern of the dorsal shield. Moreover, we present the first DNA barcoding data for M. latissimus (K. Viets, 1936) and M. lusitanicus (Lundblad, 1941). http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:461D9E10-3897-4CF0-9384-CC4A582E125A
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Acarology has a global readership and publishes original research and review papers on a wide variety of acarological subjects including:
• mite and tick behavior
• biochemistry
• biology
• control
• ecology
• evolution
• morphology
• physiology
• systematics
• taxonomy (single species descriptions are discouraged unless accompanied by additional new information on ecology, biology, systematics, etc.)
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor. If the English is not of a quality suitable for reviewers, the manuscript will be returned. If found suitable for further consideration, it will be submitted to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind.
