03DD87E12E07C469A69EFADEFF5A608D.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name of the new species is derived from the Latin word " ablūdō " (be unlike), and it alludes to the fact that the species is easily discernible and markedly differing from its congeneric species. Taxonomic notes. The new species may be easily distinguished from all other congeners by the subapically hooked tubes of the sperm access system in females, and the unusually elongated spermatodactyl in males. Although such elongate spermatodactyl is also found in Pachylaelaps (Longipachylaelaps) pulsator, P. (L.) longicrinitus and P. (L.) silviae, no other known species of the genus Pachylaelaps has a denticulate anteromedial margin of the spermatodactyl other than P. (L.) abludens sp. nov., and one further new species described below. For a detailed comparison of P. (L.) abludens sp. nov. and other known Pachylaelaps (Longipachylaelaps) species see Table 2.	en	Mašán, Peter (2017): Four new species of the subgenus Pachylaelaps (Longipachylaelaps) from Italy, with a new identification key to the known species (Acari: Pachylaelapidae).

Metapodal platelets minuscule, free on soft integument. Ventral soft integument with nine pairs of ventral setae (JV 2 – JV 5, ZV 1 – ZV 5). Ventral setae similar to those on dorsal idiosoma. Sperm induction structures (Figs 42, 51, 52). Tubiform structures of sperm induction system relatively short and broad, cup-like, well sclerotised except basal portions, with apices clearly separated, and bases negligibly expanded and abutting to inner margin of coxae IV. Gnathosomal structures (Figs 43, 44). Corniculi elongated and horn-like; laciniae densely pilose, as long as corniculi; deutosternum with six rows of denticles; subcapitular setae smooth and needle-shaped. Epistome with subtriangular and regularly narrowed base, narrow central neck and widened apical part densely crenulate anteriorly; basal part with denticulate lateral margins (Fig. 43). Fixed digit of chelicera with bifid terminal hook, one large distal tooth associated with pilus dentilis, and one additional distal denticle on lateral ridge; pilus dentilis well developed, slightly curved and directed backward; movable digit of chelicera unidentate, with simple hook and one distal tooth (Fig. 44). Legs. Leg setation normal for genus (Mašán, 2007). Tarsus II with two spur-like distal setae, pl 1 and pl 2 (Fig. 45). MALE. Dorsal idiosoma. Dorsal shield 660 ‒ 710 µm long and 375 ‒ 425 µm wide, elongated and suboval (length / width 1.65 ‒ 1.76). Ventral idiosoma. Sternal, genitiventral, peritrematal, metapodal and anal plates fused to form an entire holoventral shield bearing nine pairs of setae (st 1 ‒ st 5, JV 1 ‒ JV 3, ZV 2), not including three circum-anal setae close to anus; shield with reticulate sculpture on surface. Dorsolateral and ventral soft integument with 13 pairs of setae (r 6, R 1, R 3 ‒ R 7, JV 4, JV 5, Zv 1, ZV 3 ‒ ZV 5). Dorsal and ventral chaetotaxy and other characters as in female. Gnathosomal structures (Figs 46, 39, 47, 55). Cheliceral spermatodactyl relatively shorter and wider, 100 ‒ 115 µm long, 1.65 ‒ 1.85 times as long as movable digit, khanjar-like, with smooth margins, slightly expanded proximal portion, slight distal constriction and wide hooked apex directed backward (Figs 46, 55). Palptibiae slightly thickened proximally, each bearing a pair of petal-like projections on proximal ventral surface, as in Figs 39 and 47; projections relatively large, with divergent adjacent margins: antiaxial projection reduced in sizes, smaller than that with paraxial position, narrow in basal part and regularly rounded distally; paraxial projection subtriangular, with widened base, tapered distal portion and obtuse apex. Palpfemur with small tubercle on anterolateral basal surface. Species Morphological character Tubes of sperm induction system (♀) Dorsal setae Palptibial projections (Ƌ) Spermatodactyl (Ƌ) (♀, Ƌ) length sclerotisation form J 4 / J 5 inner outer relative length form (SL / MDL) abludens elongate entire tubiform, hooked I. 4 — 2 smaller, tapered larger, rounded 3.2 — 3.6 expanded, flag-shaped Legs. Medial segments of legs II spurred on their distal ventral surface: femur with one robust spur, genu and tibia each with a peg-like spur, as in Fig. 48. Femoral spur broadened in basal part, produced into narrowly rounded apex, with two small tubercles on axillary side; axillar seta with markedly expanded base (Fig. 48). Terminal part of tarsus II with only one spur-like distal seta, pl 1.	en	Mašán, Peter (2017): Four new species of the subgenus Pachylaelaps (Longipachylaelaps) from Italy, with a new identification key to the known species (Acari: Pachylaelapidae).

03DD87E12E0AC47DA69EF962FAE36189.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name honors Paolo Pantini, eminent arachnologist of the Natural History Museum in Bergamo (Museo Civico di Scienze Naturali " Enrico Caffi "), who has made many valuable contributions to the fauna of Italian spiders (Araneae). Taxonomic notes. The new species may be distinguished from the other congeners by the differential characters introduced in the diagnosis (see above), Table 2, and the two identification keys provided below.	en	Mašán, Peter (2017): Four new species of the subgenus Pachylaelaps (Longipachylaelaps) from Italy, with a new identification key to the known species (Acari: Pachylaelapidae).
