Description
Summary:Alaudicola eremophila sp. n. (Figs. 22–24) Material examined . Male holotype, 3 male and 11 female paratypes from the Horned Lark, Eremophila alpestris (Linnaeus, 1758) (Passeriformes: Alaudidae), (HOLA/525/PWRC/11, SM 2173), CANADA , Manitoba, Winnipeg, 22 October 2011, coll. T.D. Galloway and P.G. Snarr. Depository . Holotype, 1 male and 4 female paratypes — CNC, remaining paratypes — WRME and ZISP. Additional material . 7 males and 19 females from E. alpestris , (Z-2251), RUSSIA , Rostov Oblast, near Rostov-on-Don, 29 January 2013, coll. A.V. Zabashta. Description. MALE (holotype, range for 3 paratypes in parentheses) (Figs. 22, 24A–E). Idiosoma, length × width, 400 (365–415) × 200 (175–205), length of hysterosoma 250 (230–265). Prodorsal shield: occupying anterior two thirds of prodorsum, split into anterior and posterior parts by wide transverse band of soft tegument at level of scapular setae ( se, si ), anterolateral extensions pointed, total length of shield 97 (96–100), length of anterior part along midline 65 (62–67), length of posterior part 21 (20–25), width of posterior part 118 (112–122), its posterior margin uneven and slightly convex. Setae ve absent. Bases of scapular setae se separated by 60 (60–63). Scapular shields narrow, scarcely developed dorsally. Humeral shields represented by small roughly triangular sclerites situated dorsolaterally and bearing bases of setae c2 in some specimens these shields absent. Bases of setae cp and c2 situated on striated tegument. Subhumeral setae c3 spiculiform, 26 (24–27) long. Prodorsal and hysteronotal shields separated from each other by broad area of transversally striated soft tegument, length of this area 90 (80–90) and similar to the total length of prodorsal shield. Hysteronotal shield: anterior margin slightly concave, surface without ornamentation, greatest length 220 (210–230), width at anterior margin 150 (145–155). Opisthosomal lobes roughly trapezoidal, slightly shorter than wide at base; posterior margins of lobes truncate, without ...
