Genitiventral shield almost subequal in length and width (length 268–294 µm, width 265–280 µm, length/width 0.96–1.08). Anal shield subtriangular, 109–129 µm long and 160–187 µm wide (length/width 0.64–0.76); anus with three circum-anal setae situated close to posterior margin of shield. Peritremes normally developed, with anterior tips reaching dorsal surface close to insertions of setae z1. Ventral shields with delicate reticulation on surface. Metapodal platelets minuscule, free on soft integument. Ventral soft integument with nine pairs of ventral setae (JV2–JV5, ZV1–ZV5). Ventral setae similar to those on dorsal idiosoma.</p><p>Sperm induction structures (Figs 3, 10‒13). Tubes of sperm induction system well sclerotised and developed, conspicuously elongated; moderately broadened basal portions relatively short, connected to anterior margin of coxae IV, and less sclerotised than other tubular portions; medial portions regularly curved and directed posteriorly; distal portions closely adjacent each other, with short subterminal sections abruptly hooked and directed forward; tips of tubes regularly rounded.</p><p>Gnathosomal structures (Figs 4, 6).

Leg setation normal for genus (Mašán, 2007). Tarsus II with two spur-like distal setae, pl1 and pl2 (Fig. 9).</p><p>MALE. Dorsal idiosoma. Dorsal shield 690‒770 µm long and 400‒445 µm wide, elongated and suboval (length/width 1.64‒1.78).</p><p>Ventral idiosoma. Sternal, genitiventral, peritrematal, metapodal and anal plates fused to form an entire holoventral shield bearing nine pairs of setae (st1‒st5, JV1‒JV3, ZV2), not including three circum-anal setae close to anus; shield with reticulate sculpture on surface.

Cheliceral spermatodactyl elongate, 205‒225 µm in length, 3.2‒3.6 times as long as movable digit, expanded and foliate proximally, conspicuously narrowed distally, anterior medial margin finely denticulated (Figs 5, 53). Palptibiae moderately thickened medially compared with other palp segments, each bearing a pair of petal-like projections on proximal ventral surface, as in Figs 8 and 36; projections relatively large, with divergent adjacent margins: antiaxial projection longer, with narrower base, almost parallel proximal margins, distal margin irregularly rounded, apex asymmetrical in relation to longitudinal axis, and small lamellar prominence at its inner base; paraxial projection shorter, subtriangular, widened basally and tapered toward obtuse apex. Palpfemur with distinct papular tubercle on anterolateral basal surface.</p><p>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. 7. Femoral spur broadened in basal part, produced into narrowly rounded apex, with two small tubercles on axillary side (Fig. 7). Terminal part of tarsus II with only one spur-like distal seta, pl1.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DD87E12E07C469A69EFADEFF5A608D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2016). A new key to the subgenus Longipachylaelaps is needed to include a species described recently from Turkey ( Özbek, 2015), the four new species described in this study, and a revised species of Hirschmann &amp; Krauss (1965), namely P. (L.) granulifer, based on numerous specimens collected in Portugal ( North Portugal, Serra da Labruja Mts., San Bento da Porta Aberta Village, Viana do Castelo Cadaster, non-native eucalyptus forest ( Eucalyptus globulus), humid leaf litter and soil detritus, altitude 260 m, 41°56'02,3"N, 08°37'49,9"W, 10 May 2008, lgt. P. Fenďa, det. P. Mašán) .</p><p>The identification of Pachylaelaps species is complicated by the incomplete descriptions of some species. Therefore some species are not included in the keys presented in this paper, namely Pachylaelaps (Longipachylaelaps) dubius Hirschmann &amp; Krauss, 1965 and P. (L.) obirensis Schmölzer, 1992, including also the two dubious species P. (L.) gallicus Berlese, 1920 and P. (L.) tetragonoides Dugès, 1834 . The male described under the name P. (L.) longisetis Halbert, 1915 by Evans &amp; Hyatt (1956) is considered here as a misidentification of P. (L.) undulatus Evans &amp; Hyatt, 1956, but this suggestion needs to be verified by further study. The keys below contain 26 species of which 15 species are based on both adult stages, six species exclusively on males ( conifer, decipiens, gibbosus, hestulifer, longicrinitus, and virago), and five species only on females ( anatolicus, bifurciger, longisetis, undulatus, and vicarius). The identification key for male stages is newly developed for the purposes of this paper. The key to identification of females is derived from that by Mašán (2007a).</p><p>1.
