Adults of middle size, yellowish or brownish, with idiosoma rather narrow and appendages of normal proportions. Idiosomal shields moderately sclerotized, very finely punctate (punctation rarely visible), with clearly reticulate ornamentation only on sternal, genital or sternitigenital shields; dorsal shield smooth with distinct sigillae. Most body setae of moderate size, needle-shaped. Some setae of distal leg segments, especially of leg IV, elongated and finely tipped, subapical setae av-1 and pv-1 on tarsi II-IV strongly formed and blunt. Female.Idiosomal dorsum. Dorsal shield 528-616 × 248-304, narrowing posteriad, lD/wD ca 1.96-2.24, its maximal width at level of setae s4 (Fig. 1); lateral incisions of moderate length (30-44). Podonotal region normally with 17 pairs of simple setae (z3 present); z1 and s1 seldom asymmetrically absent; s2 usually on soft cuticle, sometimes asymmetrically on shield margin, sometimes symmetrically absent; s6 rarely off shield. Opisthonotal region with 13-14 pairs of setae (S2 always absent, S3 or S5 rarely asymmetrically off shield margin). Among podonotal setae, z1 (13-22) and s1 (20-35) distinguished by clearly shorter lengths, seta j1 30-36, j2 32-42, length of other setae 30-50.

Fixed digit with dentition similar to female, but apical trident not developed and one denticle present subapically in antaxial position, apart from paraxial row of 5-6 denticles. Movable digit with one large denticle and tightly (at a sharp angle) sinuate spermatodactyl (length of free part 26-29), half protruding beyond tip of digit (Fig. 18). Legs. Length of legs I to IV 492-596 (lExI/lD 0.96-1.13), 364-432, 336-416, and 472-568 respectively; length of tarsi I to IV 140-168, 96-124, 104-122, and 140-170 respectively. Leg II stouter than other legs, with dimorphically modified setae. Three setae on leg II, namely v2 on femur, av2 and mv on telotarsus, remarkably stout basally and attenuate apically, on elevated bases; opposable ventral setae v-1 on femur II and av on genu II and tibia II also usually slightly spinelike (Fig. 22). Other leg structure and setation generally as in female. Differential diagnosis. Adults of Arctoseius koltschaki sp. n. are similar to those of Arctoseius multidentatus Evans, 1955, but the dorsal shield in Arctoseius koltschaki sp. n. is often narrower (lD/wD in female 1.96-2.24, in male 2.05-2.17 instead of 1.91-2.05 and 1.85-2.03 respectively), and tarsi II-IV have subapical setae av1 and pv1 more stout and blunt (Figs 11-15). In male of Arctoseius koltschaki sp. n., the ventrianal shield is relatively wide (Fig. 17), subtriangular (narrowly oval in Arctoseius multidentatus), incorporating the metapodal platelets (free in Arctoseius multidentatus); the spermatodactyl is more tightly or sharply sinuate, and more angled apically (not as gently sinuate, and digitiform apically as in Arctoseius multidentatus) (cf. Figs 18 and 19). In female of Arctoseius koltschaki sp. n., the sternal shield is uniformly reticulated (whereas in Arctoseius multidentatus, the reticulation is developed laterally, and separately within an elongate posteromedial "window"). Female of Arctoseius koltschaki sp. n. is often smaller (dorsal shield length 528-616 instead of 566-688 in Arctoseius multidentatus). Etymology. The species named in honor of Admiral Alexander Koltschak, the prominent Arctic hydrologist and outstanding Citizen of Russia. Distribution. At present known from the Russian Arctic and Siberian mountain regions (Fig. 25). Ecology. Recorded from dry and humid tundra sites, various meadows including zoogenic ones (e.g. polar fox and lemming hills), snow-beds, bogs, larch forests and shrub (Salix spp., Rhododendron aureum, Pinus pumila) thickets. Variability. The species is rather stable morphologically. The form of female epigynal and anal shields varies a little (Figs 6, 9, 10). The variability concerns mainly the form of tectum (Figs 23, 24), the position of setae s2, s6, S3, S5 (on or off shield margin), and the form and size of leg subapical setae (Figs 11-16). The robust subapical setae av1 and pv1 sometimes may be acuminate, more often on leg IV (Fig. 16). The deutosternum rarely has 8 (instead normal 7) rows of denticles. The lacinia of trito-sternum seldom has adnate barbs (Fig. 21). One male (from 23 ones) originating from Chukotka has free baculiform metapodal platelets (26 × 4). : Published as part of Makarova, Olga L. & Lindquist, Evert E., 2013, A new species of the gamasid mite genus Arctoseius Thor, 1930 (Parasitiformes, Mesostigmata, Ascidae) from Russia with a key to the multidentatus species-group, pp. 9-24 in ZooKeys 313 on pages 10-15, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.313.5317 |

Adults of middle size, yellowish or brownish, with idiosoma rather narrow and appendages of normal proportions. Idiosomal shields moderately sclerotized, very finely punctate (punctation rarely visible), with clearly reticulate ornamentation only on sternal, genital or sternitigenital shields; dorsal shield smooth with distinct sigillae. Most body setae of moderate size, needle-shaped. Some setae of distal leg segments, especially of leg IV, elongated and finely tipped, subapical setae av-1 and pv-1 on tarsi II-IV strongly formed and blunt. Female.Idiosomal dorsum. Dorsal shield 528-616 × 248-304, narrowing posteriad, lD/wD ca 1.96-2.24, its maximal width at level of setae s4 (Fig. 1); lateral incisions of moderate length (30-44).

Leg chaetome in general as described for genus (Lindquist and Evans 1965); tibia IV with 7 setae, pl present. Most leg setae simple, of moderate lengths; length of pd2 on genu II (42-48) by a third shorter than width of segment (55-64). Tarsi II–IV each with some rather long setae (up to 100 on tarsus IV), many of them with fine tips (Figs 12, 14, 16); with lateral subapical setae al1 and pl1 needle-shaped, strong, rather long (24-32 on leg II, 21-39 on leg III, 36-56 on leg IV), two times more distant from tarsus apex and much thinner than robust blunt ventral subapical setae av1 and pv1 (14-19, 12-20, 16-27 respectively) (Figs 11-16); av2 on tarsus II and pv2 on tarsus III also thick, sometimes shortened, with blunt tips (Figs 11, 13).

Fixed digit with dentition similar to female, but apical trident not developed and one denticle present subapically in antaxial position, apart from paraxial row of 5-6 denticles. Movable digit with one large denticle and tightly (at a sharp angle) sinuate spermatodactyl (length of free part 26-29), half protruding beyond tip of digit (Fig. 18). Legs. Length of legs I to IV 492-596 (lExI/lD 0.96-1.13), 364-432, 336-416, and 472-568 respectively; length of tarsi I to IV 140-168, 96-124, 104-122, and 140-170 respectively. Leg II stouter than other legs, with dimorphically modified setae. Three setae on leg II, namely v2 on femur, av2 and mv on telotarsus, remarkably stout basally and attenuate apically, on elevated bases; opposable ventral setae v-1 on femur II and av on genu II and tibia II also usually slightly spinelike (Fig. 22). Other leg structure and setation generally as in female. Differential diagnosis. Adults of Arctoseius koltschaki sp. n. are similar to those of Arctoseius multidentatus Evans, 1955, but the dorsal shield in Arctoseius koltschaki sp. n. is often narrower (lD/wD in female 1.96-2.24, in male 2.05-2.17 instead of 1.91-2.05 and 1.85-2.03 respectively), and tarsi II-IV have subapical setae av1 and pv1 more stout and blunt (Figs 11-15). In male of Arctoseius koltschaki sp. n., the ventrianal shield is relatively wide (Fig. 17), subtriangular (narrowly oval in Arctoseius multidentatus), incorporating the metapodal platelets (free in Arctoseius multidentatus); the spermatodactyl is more tightly or sharply sinuate, and more angled apically (not as gently sinuate, and digitiform apically as in Arctoseius multidentatus) (cf. Figs 18 and 19). In female of Arctoseius koltschaki sp. n., the sternal shield is uniformly reticulated (whereas in Arctoseius multidentatus, the reticulation is developed laterally, and separately within an elongate posteromedial "window"). Female of Arctoseius koltschaki sp. n. is often smaller (dorsal shield length 528-616 instead of 566-688 in Arctoseius multidentatus). Etymology. The species named in honor of Admiral Alexander Koltschak, the prominent Arctic hydrologist and outstanding Citizen of Russia. Distribution. At present known from the Russian Arctic and Siberian mountain regions (Fig. 25). Ecology. Recorded from dry and humid tundra sites, various meadows including zoogenic ones (e.g. polar fox and lemming hills), snow-beds, bogs, larch forests and shrub (Salix spp., Rhododendron aureum, Pinus pumila) thickets. Variability. The species is rather stable morphologically. The form of female epigynal and anal shields varies a little (Figs 6, 9, 10). The variability concerns mainly the form of tectum (Figs 23, 24), the position of setae s2, s6, S3, S5 (on or off shield margin), and the form and size of leg subapical setae (Figs 11-16). The robust subapical setae av1 and pv1 sometimes may be acuminate, more often on leg IV (Fig. 16). The deutosternum rarely has 8 (instead normal 7) rows of denticles. The lacinia of trito-sternum seldom has adnate barbs (Fig. 21). One male (from 23 ones) originating from Chukotka has free baculiform metapodal platelets (26 × 4). : Published as part of Makarova, Olga L. & Lindquist, Evert E., 2013, A new species of the gamasid mite genus Arctoseius Thor, 1930 (Parasitiformes, Mesostigmata, Ascidae) from Russia with a key to the multidentatus species-group, pp. 9-24 in ZooKeys 313 on pages 10-15, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.313.5317 Text Arctic Chukotka Eriophorum kola peninsula Kolguev kolyma river laptev Novaya Zemlya Pechora polar fox Salix polaris Taymyr Taymyr Peninsula Tundra Vorkuta Yakutiya Mite Siberia DataCite Metadata Store (German National Library of Science and Technology) Arctic Kola Peninsula Taymyr ENVELOPE(89.987,89.987,68.219,68.219) Kolyma ENVELOPE(161.000,161.000,69.500,69.500) Seta ENVELOPE(9.895,9.895,63.645,63.645) Magadan ENVELOPE(150.803,150.803,59.564,59.564) Indigirka ENVELOPE(149.609,149.609,70.929,70.929) Khibiny ENVELOPE(33.210,33.210,67.679,67.679) Trident ENVELOPE(169.233,169.233,-72.433,-72.433) Yakutiya ENVELOPE(130.000,130.000,65.000,65.000) Suntar ENVELOPE(141.502,141.502,63.318,63.318) Yana River ENVELOPE(134.625,134.625,67.662,67.662) Protoka ENVELOPE(144.254,144.254,59.381,59.381) Southern Island ENVELOPE(-55.577,-55.577,52.266,52.266) Tareya ENVELOPE(90.734,90.734,73.259,73.259) Pokhodskaya ENVELOPE(160.483,160.483,69.083,69.083) Ust-Nera ENVELOPE(143.237,143.237,64.570,64.570) Fox Hill ENVELOPE(177.315,177.315,51.926,51.926) Kyubyume ENVELOPE(140.945,140.945,63.388,63.388) Chegitun ENVELOPE(-171.069,-171.069,66.559,66.559) Opalovaya ENVELOPE(94.113,94.113,75.915,75.915) Ragozinka ENVELOPE(80.833,80.833,72.700,72.700) Makarova ENVELOPE(85.323,85.323,73.703,73.703) |
