The type species is Timalinyssus oliferae (Mironov, 1990) (= Mouchetia oliferae) from Leiothrix argentauris Hodgson. Initial diagnostic characters given to the genus (Mironov 2001) proved to be insufficient as new species were subsequently described (Wang &amp; Wang 2008; Mironov &amp; Proctor 2011). In a more complete diagnosis of the genus Mironov &amp; Proctor (2011) described the distinctive feature differentiating it from the closely related genus Mouchetia, namely the structure of tarsus III in male. In contrast to males of Mouchetia, in Timalinyssus, tarsus III is usually elongated and curved, with a claw-like or bidentate apical process and the dorsal surface of this segment bearing a smooth or indented longitudinal crest. Females of Timalinyssus differ from those of the genus Mouchetia because their hysteronotal shield is not narrowed in the anterior half.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F5C2C08FF88F828FF62FDACFDE4240F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Male holotype (ANA091), 2 male (ANA093) and 1 female (ANA092) paratypes from Actinodura cyanouroptera (Hodgson) ( Passeriformes: Leiothrichidae); INDIA: Meghalaya, East Jaintia Hills District, the region of Khahnar village, 25°21'57.30"N, 92°36'51.72"E; 20 February 2013, coll. C. Adam.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. Of the five previously known species, Timalinyssus actinodurae sp. nov. is closest to T. formosanus Mironov, 2001 from Actinodura morrisoniana Ogilvie-Grant (Leiothrichidae) (Mironov 2001). Males in both species have tarsus III moderately elongated, with an acute apical process and teeth on the longitudinal dorsal crest, the epiandrum shaped as an inverted U with tips extending considerably beyond the base of the genital apparatus, a similar shape of the genital apparatus, and the adanal shield shaped as an inverted Y. Males of the new species clearly differ from those of T. formosanus due to the following features: the prodorsal shield is free from the scapular shields, the hysteronotal shield has a straight anterior margin and heavily sclerotized median band, the anterior angles of the hysteronotal shield are rounded, the setae ps1 are situated almost apically, near the inner angle of the lobes, the transventral sclerite is present, the setae s are represented by macrosetae, and the setae d are hair-like. In males of T. formosanus, the prodorsal shield is fused with the scapular shields, the hysteronotal shield has the anterior margin slightly sinuous, its anterior angles are acute and a sclerotised band in median band is absent, the setae ps1 are situated clearly distant from the inner angle of the lobes, the transventral sclerite is absent, the setae d are represented by macrosetae, and the setae s are filiform. Females in both species have the prodorsal shield fused with the scapular shields and clearly differ from T. formosanus, as well from the other three previously known females of the genus ( T. oliferae (Mironov), T. longitarsus Wang and Wang, T. curvilobus Mironov), due to the shape of the opisthosomal lobes that are short, apically attenuate, strongly bent medially, and with blunt-angular lateral membrane. In females of T. formosanus, and also in T. oliferae, the opisthosomal lobes are long and roughly ovoid, while in T. curvilobus the lobes are indistinct and only short cone-like extensions are present, and, in females of T. longitarsus, they do not have lobes. Furthermore, females of T. actinodurae differ from T. formosanus due to the absence of epimerites IVa (rudiments of epimerites IVa are present in T. formosanus).</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet actinodurae refers to the generic name of the host species and is a noun in the genitive case.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F5C2C08FF88F82EFF62FB97FEB925BA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The authors of that revision noted that the genus Pteroherpus included 12 described species and they also recognized three species-groups within the genus: benoiti, holoplax and monacrotrichus. Other species were later described (Mironov 1992, Mironov &amp; Kopij 2000, Mironov &amp; Wauthy 2006), and a recent revision of Pteroherpus (Mironov &amp; Wauthy 2008) added three more new species, raising the number to 18, and arranged them in four species-groups: hoplophorus (10 species), diploplax (6 species), josephi (1 species) and nicator (1 species). After this revision two other species of the genus were described: Pteroherpus garrulacis Mironov and Proctor, 2011 belonging to the species-group diploplax and Pteroherpus surmachi Mironov, 2011 which cannot be classified in any of mentioned species groups having a distinct combination of characters both in the female and in the male.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F5C2C08FF8EF82EFF62F9DEFD1C27B2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

C. Adam.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. Pteroherpus meghalayensis sp. nov. belongs to the hoplophorus species group (Mironov &amp; Wauthy 2008). Males of this species-group have a prodorsal shield with a short posterior part, and a bluntly rounded posterior margin, the posterolateral angles are not expressed, and the distance from the anterior margin of this shield to the level of the setae se is equal with the distance between the bases of these setae. The opisthosomal lobes are short and wide, the posterior margin is bluntly rounded, the terminal cleft is U-shaped, and the setae ps2 are filiform. The female has an unpaired anterior hysteronotal sclerite, and the opisthosomal sclerite are whole and separated from the central sclerite. The male of Pteroherpus meghalayensis is distinguished from all other species of the genus due to a very long genital apparatus and the unusual length of the branches of the epiandrum extending beyond the base of the genital apparatus. Among previously described species of the genus, Pteroherpus meghalayensis sp. nov. is closest to P. chlorocichlae Mironov and Wauthy, 2008 because the hysteronotal shield and the opisthosomal lobes in male have a similar shape and there is also a similar arrangement of the hysterosomal shields in females (unpaired anterior hysteronotal sclerite as transverse plate, central sclerite, lateral opisthosomal sclerites and pygidial sclerites). The male of the new species is distinguished from P. chlorocichlae due to the following features: the absence of the dorsal additional small sclerites, the transventral sclerite with a straight anterior margin, the extension of the tips of epiandrum beyond the basis of the genital apparatus, the extreme length of the genital apparatus (68-80), and the T or cross-shape of adanal shield. In males of P. chlorocichlae, a pair of very small additional sclerites is present near the posterior end of the prodorsal shield, the transventral sclerite has concave anterior margins, the branches of epiandrum extend to the midlevel of the genital apparatus, the genital apparatus length is 25, and the adanal shield has a distinctly concave anterior margin. Females of P. meghalayensis differ from those of P. chlorocichlae due to the shape of the anterior hysteronotal and central sclerites; the anterior hysteronotal sclerite has an irregular margin and the central sclerite has a rhomboid shape in the posterior half, while in P. chlorocichlae, the anterior hysteronotal sclerite has a straight margin and the central sclerite is almost parallel-sided and only in the posterior half is rounded.</p><p>Etymology. The specific name meghalayensis refers to the state of Meghalaya where the mite was collected.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F5C2C08FF81F824FF62FF52FA03268E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
