| abstract | The genus Asca Heyden is the most numerous of the family Ascidae Voigts & Oudemans (Mesostigmata), comprising 148 valid species. A new species of this genus, Asca mariae n. sp., is here described based on adult females and males collected from litter of banana plantations at Sinop, Mato Grosso state, northwestern Brazil. It differs from Asca craneae De Leon by having 17 pairs of setae on the podonotal shield. It also differs from Asca craneta De Leon by having ad2 and pd2 of tarsus IV only slightly curved and Asca hexaspinosa Karg by having podonotal and opisthonotal shields distinctly reticulate. This is the first description of an Asca species from Brazil. |
