B93DD90EFFA5FFF2FF70FA91BFC9FC84.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Diptilomiopus bahaensis sp. nov., is morphologically close to the D. racemosae (Chandrapatya and Boczek, 2001) by the presence of scapular setal position and central cells without median line. However, the new species differs from the later by the shape of ventral semi-annuali with microtubercles (simple rounded vs. spine like) and ornamentation on coxae II (with granules vs. without granules).	en	Khan, Eid Muhammad, Kamran, Muhammad, Alatawi, Fahad Jaber (2023): A new species of the genus Diptilomiopus Nalepa and a key to diptilomiopid species (Prostigmata; Eriophyoidea; Diptilomiopidae) associated with Moraceae plant family.
