2EF17108CBE881F320DB4578257F1E68.taxon	description	Description. Female. Dorsum (Figure 1). Shape of dorsal shield oblong, with length 440 - 460 and width 280 - 310 at level of the coxae II (n = 3), micropunctation on anterior and lateral surface with reticulate sculptural pattern. Majority of setae on dorsal shield long and pilose in distal half, except setae j 1 and z 1 which are short, smooth and spine-like, and J 5 with pilose margins for entire length. Length of dorsal setae: j 1 and z 1 = 8 - 9, j 2 = 22 - 24, j 2, s 2, Z 2, Z 5 and S 5 = 24 - 26, j 3, j 4, j 6, z 2, z 4, z 5, z 6, s 4, s 6, J 2, Z 1, Z 4, S 1, S 2, S 4 = 30 - 32, j 5, s 5, s 6, r 3, r 3, r 4 = 34 - 35, J 5 = 16. Dorsal shield with four pairs of lyrifissures (close to z 1, s 6, S 5 and between Z 2 and S 4), ten pairs of gland pores (close to j 3, j 4, s 5, j 6, z 6, Z 1, Z 2, S 4, Z 4 and two close to J 2), and four pairs of microspicules (close to r 2, Z 2, Z 4 and Z 5). Peritreme reaches the bases of setae z 1. Venter (Figure 2). Sternal shield 87 - 95 long and 100 - 110 wide at level of coxae II, bearing 3 pairs of needle-like setae and two pairs of lyrifissures. Posterior margin of sternal shield concave. Surface with linearly arranged punctures. Measurements of setae: St 1 = 34 - 36, St 2 = 30 - 32 and St 3 = 26 - 28. Cuticle with a thin punctuation. Metasternal seta on metasternal platelet with length 20 - 23. Posterior margin of genital shield straight. Genital shield with length 75 - 78 and width 89 - 93. The length of seta on genital shield 23 - 26. Apodemes between ventrianal and genital shields absent. Ventrianal shield pentagonal with length 158 - 162 and width at level of Jv 2 145 - 148, surface reticulated with linearly arranged punctures. Three pairs of ventrianal setae 22 - 25 long, needle-like, adanal setae needle-like and 22 long. Post-anal seta similar in shape and length to adanal setae. Opisthogaster bearing more than twelve pairs of slightly pilose setae (12 - 19 long). Sperm access system not visible. Gnathosoma (Figures 3 - 7). Gnathosoma well developed. Deutosternal groove (Figure 3) with six rows of denticles, 3 pairs of hypostomal setae and one pair of palpcoxal setae present, all setae needle-like. Internal posterior hypostomal seta (h 2) longer than others. Measurements of hypostomal setae: h 1 = 27 - 30, h 2 = 38 - 42, h 3 = 18 - 25 and capitulate seta = 20 - 27. Tectum (Figure 5) with a pair of lateral processes and a bifurcated medial stem, margins of lateral processes and medial stem weakly serrate. Cheliceral fixed digit with apically serrate dorsal seta, four teeth (two smaller and two larger), pilus dentilis and terminal hook (Figures 6 - 7). On moveable digit large tooth and terminal hook present. Arthrodial brush with a short and a long branch and densely pilose. Length of fixed digit 52 - 55, moveable digit 41 - 44. Palp 164 - 170 long, palp trochanter with one smooth and one apically serrate ventral setae, other setae on palp smooth, palp apotele three-tined (Figures 3 - 4). Legs (Figures 8 - 15). Tarsi II-IV with well-developed ambulacra and claws, claws and ambulacrum is missing from the tip of leg I. All setae simple on legs. Leg chaetotaxy typical for the genus. Length of legs: I 325 - 370, II 250 - 320, III 240 - 260, IV 380 - 420. Coxal glands not visible.	en	Kontschan, Jeno (2018): Macrocheleskekensis sp. n., a new macrochelid mite associated with a centoniin beetle from Hungary (Acari, Mesostigmata).
