Angola: Salazar, from Eugenia uniflora, 18-IV-1972, M.K.P. Smith Meyer. Uganda: 34 km S Masaka, Rakai District, Coffea sp., 05-X-1990, J.S. Yaninek; Nsambya, Rakai District, Mangifera indica, 06-X-1990, B. Odongo; 1 km N Muzizi River, Hoima, Artocarpus heterophyllus, 10-X- 1990, J.S. Yaninek.</p><p>Remarks. The holotype of this species has a single pair of metapodal shields, instead of 2 as in the specimens from Uganda, collected in this study; in the latter specimens, those shields are distinctly separate in some specimens, but partially fused in others. Considerable variation in setal lengths was observed between specimens collected in Uganda within and between sites/hosts, and even between right and left sides of one of the specimens. Specimens from 1 km N Muzizi River, Hoima, have setae j3 and Z1 much shorter than those of the holotype and of the specimens from the other sites however it was not considered as a new species because of the high variation in setal lengths observed in some specimens of P. wiesei in Uganda.</p><p>World distribution.

Van der Berg, deposited at ESALQ-USP.</p><p>Etymology. The epithet aberdaresensis refers to the location where the types of this species were collected.</p><p>Remarks. This species fits the description of Aristadromips except for the larger value of the sum of the ratios “length of dorsal shield/ length of S4” and “length of dorsal shield/ length of S5” (ca. 25.6) and for having z2 and z4 aproximately as long as the distances between their bases and the bases of the following setae. Such characteristics are intermediate between those of Aristadromips and Typhlodromips De Leon. Within the latter genus, the shape of the spermatheca would place this species closer to those of the ariri species group of Chant &amp; McMurtry (2005b). The number of male preanal setae, however, indicates that it should be placed in the genus Aristadromips .</p><p>Aristadromips masseei (Nesbitt, 1951) differs from this new species by having the calyx of spermatheca distinctly wider and shorter, and by having preanal pores of both sexes smaller and distinctly further apart. Three species of the ariri species group of Typhlodromips resemble this new species: T. alpicola (Ehara, 1982), T. hamiltoni (Chant &amp; Yoshida-Shaul, 1978) and T. tee (Schicha, 1983) . However, for each of them the sum of the ratios “length of dorsal shield/ length of S4” and “length of dorsal shield/ length of S5” is considerably larger than 26.0. In addition, dorsal shield is reticulate in T. alpicola and smooth in T. hamiltoni, and both have shorter dorsocentral setae than this new species. The calyx of the spermatheca is cup-shaped in T. hamiltoni, whereas ventrianal shield is smooth in T. tee . The males of T. alpicola and of T. tee have only 3 pairs of preanal setae (the male of T. hamiltoni has not been described).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/832E87FA150CEE47E7EDFCADCE04A232	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(5 specimens measured).</p><p>Dorsum. Dorsal shield mostly smooth, except for few anterolateral striae, without distinct constriction at level of seta R1, 356 (339–384) long and 257(245–264) wide. Setae j1 22(19–26), j3 28(26–30), j4 10(10–11), j5 9(8–10), j6 10(8–11), J2 14(13–14), J5 10, z2 11(10–13), z4 12(10–14), z5 10(8–11), Z1 17(14–19), Z4 47(43–53), Z5 94(86–98), s4 37 (34–40), S2 15 (14–16), S4 14 (13–14), S5 11 (10–13), r3 17(16–19), R1 11(10–13). All setae smooth, except Z5 which is serrate .</p><p>Venter. Sternal shield mostly smooth, except for few lateral striae; posterior margin straight; distances between St1-St3 57(53–62), St2-St2 68(66–70). Genital shield smooth; distance between St5-St5 72(67–75). Ventrianal shield vase-shaped, striate on anterior half, anterior margin convex, 114(109–120) long, 69(61–82) wide at level of Zv2 and 76(74–82) wide at level of anus, elliptical preanal pores slightly posteromesad to Jv2. Two pairs of metapodal shields. Ventral setae smooth.</p><p>Chelicera. Movable digit 31 long, with 4 teeth; fixed digit 27 long, with 10 teeth and a pilus dentilis.</p><p>Spermatheca. Calyx funnel-shaped, stout 16(15–16) long; atrium vacuolate.</p><p>Legs. Sharp-tipped macrosetae; Sge I 32(29–34), Sge II 35(32–37), Sge III 50(45–53), Sti III 33(32–35), Sge IV 74(70–77), Sti IV 33(32–35), St IV 62(61–64). Chaetotaxy: genu: II 2-2/0,2/0-1; genu III: 1-2/1,2/0-1.</p><p>Male. Unknown.</p><p>Locality and type material. Holotype female from unknown plant, 28 km S Dunkwa, Western Region, Ghana, 11-XI-1989, J.S. Yaninek, deposited at ESALQ-USP. One paratype female from Elaeis guineensis, 28 km S Dunkwa, Western Region, Ghana, 11-XI-1989, J.S. Yaninek, deposited at IITAIM. One paratype female from Securinega virosa, Agbotagon, Atlantic Province, Benin, 10-X-1991, B. Eklou, deposited at IITAIM. One paratype female from Anacardium occidentale, Bo China Farm, Sierra-Leone, 14-XII-1991, B. Kristensen, deposited at IITAIM. One paratype female from Coffea sp., 34 km S Masaka, Uganda, 05-X-1990, J.S. Yaninek, deposited at ESALQ-USP.</p><p>Etymology. The epithet robusticalyx refers to the shape of the calyx of the types of this species.</p><p>Remarks. Similarly to this new species, Typhlodromips lambatinus (Schicha &amp; Corpuz-Raros, 1992), T. mitassini (Chant &amp; Hansell, 1971) and T. sinensis Denmark &amp; Muma, 1972 also have ventrianal shield vaseshaped, which is uncommon for species in this genus. However, in all of those species a small but distinct constriction is observed at level of seta R1, and the ventrianal shield is smooth. In addition, T. lambatinus has an extra dorsal shield seta, on one side, regarded as a “freak feature” and its dorsal shield is reticulate; T. mistassini has spermatheca very small and poorly sclerotized and it has seta z2 almost as long as the distance between its base and the base of s4. Typhlodromips sinensis does not have stout calyx and vacuolate atrium.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/832E87FA1504EE70E7EDF987C8FAA7E2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
