Jc. Otto, A cladistic analysis of Erythracarinae (Acarina : Prostigmata : Anystidae), with the description of a new genus, SYST ENTOM, 25(4), 2000, pp. 447-484
A cladistic analysis of sixty erythracarine species is presented and used t
o justify recent nomenclatorial changes to the classification of erythracar
ine genera. Erythracarinae is redescribed, and a new diagnosis for the subf
amily and a key to the included genera are presented. Neotarsolarcus is rec
ognized as a junior synonym of Tarsolarkus, which is recorded for the first
time from North America. A new genus, Pedidromus, with six new species (P.
agitatus sp.n. P. curiosus sp.n., P. durongensis sp.n., P. peliculus sp.n.
, P. pilotrix sp.n., P. velox sp.n.) is described.
