| abstract | Six species of the genus Ereynetes Berlese (Acari: Ereynetinae) were collected from South Africa. The most frequent was Ereynetes (Ereynetes) amplectorus Hunter, 1964, described from the U.S.A. It was exclusively collected fron cow and horse dung in 3 farms of Transvaal. The other species are new and among them 3 were found on cow dung in Transvaal during a survey on the acarofauna of cattle and horse dung, i.e. E. (E.) ueckermanni n. sp., E. (E.) bolitophilus n.sp. and E. (E.) luriei n.sp. The 2 other species belong to the subgenus Anereynetes, they were found from dung beetles in Botswana, i.e. E. (A.) copridis n.sp. and E. (A.) botswanensis n.sp. A new genus, Neoprotereunetes n.g. is created in the family Eupopidae, with Ereynetes lapidarius Oudemans, 1906 as type species. All these new taxa are described herein. The authors proposed to use some standard measurements in the descriptions of the Ereynetinae. |
