Introduction

This paper represents the second contribution to the phytoseiid fauna of the Serra do Espinhaço (Espinhaço range) in eastern Brazil, after the first paper dealing with species of the genus Neoseiulus Hughes [START_REF] Ferragut | The genus Neoseiulus Hughes (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) in the Espinhaço Range, a great reservoir of biodiversity in Brazil[END_REF] The tribe Kampimodromini is poorly represented in Brazil, where only six species have been reported from the 238 valid species described or cited in the country, three belonging to the genus Proprioseius, two to Neoparaphytoseius, and one to Paraphytoseius Swirski & Schechter [START_REF] Demite | Phytoseiidae Database[END_REF]. The genus Neoparaphytoseius was created by Chant and McMurtry (2005a) to accommodate Amblyseius sooretamus El-Banhawy (original designation), a peculiar species restricted to Brazil. Inaccuracies in the original description led to Chant and McMurtry to include the genus in the subtribe Paraphytoseiina by having a supposed indentation or notch in the lateral margins of the dorsal shield, at the level of setae s4. Later, [START_REF] Jiménez | Description of a new species of Neoparaphytoseius Chant & McMurtry (Acari: Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) from Peru, with a redefinition of the genus[END_REF] examined the holotype, paratypes and additional specimens collected in Brazil, concluding that the indentation does not exist, and only a shallow concavity can be observed.

They redefined the genus and suggested its inclusion within the subtribe Kampimodromina. During 30 years the genus was considered monotypic, but recently two additional species from Perú and Brazil were added (Jiménez et al. 2014; Silva et al. 2021). We described here a new species of Neoparaphytoseius, N. moraesi Ferragut sp. nov., distinctly different from the known species by the strongly tuberculate dorsal setae j1, s4, S2, Z4 and Z5, which provide the appearance of some Proprioseius, by the different length and morphology of the dorsal setae and caudoventral setae JV5, and by having most of them covered by a very characteristic and dense layer of crystals. We also fully redescribe the female and describe for the first time the male of Proprioseius gibbus Moraes & Denmark, a very peculiar species only known from the state of Bahia in Brazil, which displays one of the strangest habitus within the Phytoseiidae.

Compared with other Amblyseiinae, the genus Typhlodromips, from the tribe Typhlodromipsini, is a relatively morphological homogeneous group with a general appearance Neoseiulus-like, multidentate cheliceral fixed digits, macrosetae at least on legs III (not always obvious) and IV, and a characteristic, marked and rounded concavity in the lateral margins of the dorsal shield, at the level of setae R1, which gives the dorsal view of some species a peanutlike appearance. Twenty-three species have been reported from Brazil [START_REF] Demite | Phytoseiidae Database[END_REF]) which accounts 23.5% of the world species of the genus. Species distinction is not easy in some cases, as they have been recognized based mostly on morphological continuous characters, like the length of dorsal setae and leg macrosetae. Furthermore, old original descriptions are often not very helpful as they include few characteristics and illustrations are poor and do not show the complexity of phytoseiid morphology. We suspect that a considerable proportion of synonymies exist among the described species. The examination of the four species found in this study allow us to give a full complementary description of T. ariri Gondim Jr. & Moraes and T. japi Lofego, Demite & Feres females. We also provide a full redescription of T. constrictatus (El-Banhawy) describing for the first time the structure of the female insemination apparatus and the male of the species, and we propose the new species T. ovametapodalis Ferragut sp. nov., distinctive by having an oval-shaped posterior metapodal shield. Finally, we also provide a key to the separation of the Brazilian species of the genus.

Material and methods

Field surveys were conducted between January 2010 and January 2012 from native and spontaneous vegetation along the Serra do Espinhaço (Espinhaço Range) in the Brazilian states of Bahia and Minas Gerais. Information on the climatic, edaphic, and vegetation characteristics of the studied area can be found in [START_REF] Ferragut | The genus Neoseiulus Hughes (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) in the Espinhaço Range, a great reservoir of biodiversity in Brazil[END_REF].

Phytoseiid mites were collected by the authors and extracted from plants by examining the leaves under a stereomicroscope or by beating parts of the plant on a fine sieve. Specimens were mounted and clarified in Heinze-PVA medium and stored in an oven at 50 °C until total clarification. After clarification the phytoseiids were examined at 400x and 1000x magnification using differential interference contrast (DIC) in a compound microscope Nikon Eclipse Ni-U (Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Illustrations were performed on a graphic tablet using Concepts software (https://concepts.app). Images were captured with a digital camera Nikon DMX 1200 (Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and edited in LightRoom CC and Photoshop CC (© Adobe Systems Inc.). Measurements of morphological traits were obtained with the software NIS-Elements D 3.1 and are given in the text in micrometers (μm). Measurements of the main morphological characters were made as follows: dorsal shield length from the anterior to posterior shield margins along the midline, and its width between lateral margins at the level of setae s4; length of peritremes from the stigma opening to the apex; length of the genital shield from the anterior margin of the hyaline surface to the posterior margin of the shield; ventrianal shield length as the distance between anterior and posterior margins along the midline; ventrianal shield width was measured between the lateral margins of the shield at the level of setae ZV2 and at level of anus between the margins of the shield and measuring at the level of the sockets of perianal setae; the cheliceral fixed digit length was measured from dorsal lyrifissure to the tip; the movable digit from basal articulation to tip of the digit. In the description of the new species, each measurement in females corresponds to the holotype (in bold) followed by the average and the ranges (in parentheses) corresponding to all specimens studied (holotype + paratypes). In the males and immatures of the new species and in the immatures, males and females of already known species, measurements correspond to the average of all examined specimens followed by the respective ranges in parentheses if measurements were variable.

The generic concepts are those proposed by [START_REF] Chant | Descriptions of some phytoseiid mites (Acarina, Phytoseiidae). Part I. Nine new species from British Columbia with keys to the species of British Columbia. Part II. Redescriptions of eight species described by Berlese[END_REF]McMurtry (2003, 2005a). Idiosomal setal nomenclature follows that of [START_REF] Lindquist | Taxonomic concepts in the Ascidae, with a modified setal nomenclature for the idiosoma of the Gamasina[END_REF] as adapted by [START_REF] Rowell | The determination of setal homologies and setal patterns on the dorsal shield in the family Phytoseiidae (Acarina: Mesostigmata)[END_REF] for the dorsal surface and [START_REF] Chant | Adult ventral setal patterns in the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Gamasina)[END_REF] for the ventral surface of the idiosoma. Leg chaetotaxy follows [START_REF] Evans | Observations on the chaetotaxy of the legs in the free-living Gamasina (Acari: Mesostigmata)[END_REF] and [START_REF] Rowell | Observations on the ontogeny of setae in the family Phytoseiidae (Acarina: Gamasina)[END_REF]. Nomenclature for dorsal solenostomes and poroids is that proposed by [START_REF] Athias-Henriot | Nouvelles notes sur les Amblyseiini. II. Le relevé organotaxique de la face dorsal adulte (Gamasides, Protoadéniques, Phytoseiidae)[END_REF] updated by [START_REF] Beaulieu | Acarine biocontrol agents Neoseiulus californicus sensu Athias-Henriot (1977) and N. barkeri Hughes (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) redescribed, their synonymies assessed, and the identity of N. californicus (McGregor) clarified based on examination of types[END_REF]. Terminology for the morphology of the spermatodactyl follows that of [START_REF] Beard | A review of Australian Neoseiulus Hughes and Typhlodromips De Leon (Acari: Phytoseiidae: Amblyseiinae)[END_REF]. World distribution of each species is based on [START_REF] Demite | Phytoseiidae Database[END_REF].

Holotype and some paratypes of the new species and specimens of other species were deposited at the Mite collection of the ESALQ-USP (Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz″, Universidade de São Paulo, Piracicaba, State of São Paulo, Brazil). Other specimens of the species collected were deposited in the Laboratory of Acarology, Instituto Agroforestal Mediterráneo, Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain, and the Mite collection of the Centre de Biologie pour la Gestion des Populations (UMR CBGP), Montferrier sur Lez, France.

Taxonomic relationships

The habitus of N. moraesi sp. nov. presents remarkable differences with the other species in the genus. On the dorsal shield, the longer and stouter setae in the remaining species are j1, j3, s4, Z4 and Z5, while in the new species j3 is short and setaceous and, on the contrary, setae S2 are very long, stout and serrate. The dorsal plane also appears to be different. In the new species the opisthosoma is clearly elevated at the level of setae Z4, forming an almost complete transversal crest. Posterior to the crest the shield descends abruptly to recover the horizontal plane. This particular morphology can be easily observed on females in profile position before the montage. This character has not been described for the other species.

On the ventral plane, the shape of the ventrianal shield and the relative position of some preanal setae are original in the genus. The ventrianal shield is almost pentagonal with a ratio length/width of 1.2. In the other species this shield is more elongate, almost vase-shaped, with a ratio L/W of 1.7 in N. caatinga [START_REF] Silva | A new species of Neoparaphytoseius (Acari: Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) from Brazil, with a review of the genus[END_REF]), 1.4 in N. sooretamus (El-Banhawy 1984; Jiménez et al. 2014), and 1.3-1.5 in N. charapa (Jiménez et al. 2014; Souza et al. 2021). Setae JV2 in the previously described species are inserted well-posterior to the insertions of setae ZV2; in the new species, however, setae JV2 are placed anteriorly on the shield, merely posterior to the sockets of ZV2, giving the impression of being almost transversally aligned on some specimens. Finally, JV5 is consistently long, thick and serrate in the other species, while it is short, smooth and knobbed in N. moraesi sp. nov. Morphological differences among all the species are summarized in Table 1.

At a glance, the most striking character is the presence in the adults of birefringent crystals grow on the dorsal setae of idiosoma and legs. These formations cover between 50-90% of setal surface and consist of cylindrical or faceted shapes crowded organized (see Figs. 2 and3). The function or biological significance of these structures is unknown but the crystals are probably the result of setal secretions, as an internal structure assimilable to a tube can be seen in the naked part of the setae.

Etymology

The new species is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Gilberto José de Moraes for his contributions to the knowledge of phytoseiids and other plant and soil mites and for being the teacher and mentor of an entire generation of Brazilian acarologists and researchers from all over South and Central America, Africa and Europe.

Lateral margins of the shield sinuous and irregular, sometimes with a small indentation behind setae z2; there is no indication of strong indentation or notch at the level of s4, but the lateral margin is constricted anterior to setae R1. On the posterior part the shield is elevated because of the development of the hypertrophied tubercles from which the setae Z5 arise (Fig. 7A). Dorsal surface irregular, rugose, striated anterolaterally, almost smooth on the mid podonotum, with distinct patches of large pentagonal or reniform cells between setae Z1-Z4 and between the tuberculate bases of setae Z5. On the middle of the dorsum, just behind setae j6, there is a characteristic structure resembling a hump with three terminal digitiform projections; 50 (40-58) long, 35 (33-38) wide at the base (Fig. 7B). Opisthonotum with five pairs of setae (Z1, S5, Z4, Z5, J5). Dorsal setae of different length and morphology; setae j1, s4, Z4 and Z5 thick, strongly lobulated and longer; the remaining short or very short and smooth. Setae j1 broad cylindrical, apically rounded and with 8-10 digitiform barbs (Fig. 7C); setae j3, Z1 and J5 very short and hook-like; setae j4-j6 short and spine-like; setae z2 broad finger-like (Fig. 7D); setae S5 finger-like (Fig. 7A); setae s4 the longest on the shield, very broad, club-shaped and with 20-25 well developed lobulate barbs, most of them concentrated on the terminal club (Fig. 7E); setae Z4 similar in appearance to those s4 (7F); Z5 without club, with more developed lobes.

Remarks

Proprioseius gibbus exhibits one of the strangest habitus in the entire family Phytoseiidae. A unique feature of this species is the existence of a well-developed hump in the middle of the dorsal shield (less developed but also present in the Brazilian relatives P. aculeatus [START_REF] Moraes | The genus Proprioseius Chant (Acari: Phytoseiidae), with descriptions of two new species from Brazil[END_REF] and P. retroacuminatus Zacarias & Moraes [START_REF] Zacarias | Two new species of phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) from the State of São Paulo, Brazil[END_REF]). The base of this structure is somewhat flexible and the hump is oriented in different positions in the mounted specimens, but is erect and plump in live females. Nothing is known about the possible function of the structure, but given that only adult females have it, we can hypothesize that could be a reservoir of fatty cells, proteins or other nutrient substances used by the female to promote the development of oocytes or the oogenesis during the oviposition period. Significant variation of hump size has not been observed. No ducts or structures assimilated to glands are visible inside of or at the base of the hump.

Furthermore, the posterior part of the dorsal shield is elevated and the insertions of the non-tuberculate setae J5 are anterior to the sockets of the tuberculate setae Z5. This characteristic shape results from the strong protruding tubercles from which the dorsal setae Z4 and, particularly, Z5 arise.

Interestingly, there is a sexual dimorphism in the development of setae JV5. This seta is long, thick, flexible, and serrate in the female; on the contrary, it is very short, thin, rigid, smooth, and finger-like in the male.

Setal sizes and other morphological traits in the collected females are similar to those presented in the original description, except for the shorter setae z2, s4 and Z4 (about 10% shorter in our specimens).

Remarks

Typhlodromips ariri can be easily differentiated from related species by the following features.

(1) the tubercles from which most of the dorsal setae (mainly opisthosomal setae) arise, and the noticeable length of setae Z5; (2) the shape of the ventrianal shield and the position of preanal pores; (3) the shape of the spermathecal calyx, and ( 4) the concavity in the lateral margin of the dorsal shield at the level of setae S5. The last character is very original in the genus Typhlodromips and is reminiscent of many species in the genus Typhlodromalus Muma (Chant and McMurtry, 2005b).

The specimens collected are morphologically similar to those of the original description. Only dorsal setae Z1, Z5, s4, and macrosetae on leg IV are slightly longer. The presence of tubercles at the bases of the dorsal opisthosomal setae was not mentioned in the original description.

Remarks

The generic placement of T. constrictatus has been modified several times. Originally described as Amblyseius constrictatus by El-Banhawy, it was moved to Neoseiulus in the first catalogue of the family Phytoseiidae by [START_REF] Moraes | A catalog of the mite family Phytoseiidae. References to taxonomy, synonymy, distribution and habitat[END_REF], and finally transferred to the genus Typhlodromips by Chant and McMurtry (2005a). The later authors emphasized that species in Neoseiulus and Typhlodromips are morphologically similar in many aspects, but Typhlodromips can be separated by the presence of macrosetae on other legs in addition to leg IV and by the multidentate fixed digit of chelicera. However, the existence of macrosetae on genua II and III is not so evident in many cases, and T. constrictatus is a good example (see Fig. 13 D-E). Macrosetae on legs II and III from many Typhlodromips species are not longer than the remaining setae on the segment (sometimes are shorter) and can only be differentiate by subtle details, as their greater thickness and the end of the structure, which is blunt or knobbed in contrast with the other pointed setae. This fact was already discussed by [START_REF] Beard | A review of Australian Neoseiulus Hughes and Typhlodromips De Leon (Acari: Phytoseiidae: Amblyseiinae)[END_REF] in her review of the Australian Typhlodromips.

The original description of the species by El-Banhawy was relatively complete, but the shape of the spermatheca could not be seen, as the calyx was facing up in the mounted specimens. Later, Chant and McMurtry (2005a) divided the genus Typhlodromips into five species groups based on the presence/absence of setae J1 and the morphology of the spermatheca; by this reason they could not include T. constrictatus in any of the proposed species groups. According to the spermathecal apparatus described here and the absence of setae J1, T. constrictatus can be placed in the ariri species group. This species has been reported several times in Brazil since its description in 1984 (Lofego, 1998; Silva et al. 2010; Nuvoloni et al. 2015); nevertheless, these publications do not include information on the female spermatheca and only [START_REF] Lofego | Caracterização morfológica e distribuição geográfica das espécies de Amblyseiinae (Acari: Phytoseiidae) no Brasil[END_REF] shows an illustration of its morphology, which is coincident with that we describe in this study.

Length of dorsal setae in the examined specimens is similar to that of the original description, except for the setae j1 and macrosetae on leg IV, which are somewhat longer, and coincides with those provided by [START_REF] Lofego | Caracterização morfológica e distribuição geográfica das espécies de Amblyseiinae (Acari: Phytoseiidae) no Brasil[END_REF] for specimens from Bahia state.

Remarks

According to data of this study the geographical distribution of T. japi has been extended northward, until the state of Minas Gerais. This species is most similar to T. corniformis Moraes, Barbosa & Castro and T. constrictatus. There are minimal differences in setal length, size of dorsal and ventral shields, cheliceral dentition and leg chaetotaxy between T. japi and T. cornifornis, and only the structure of the atrium in the spermatheca appears to be different, enlarged and vacuolated in the former species and inconspicuous in the latter. The eventual synonymy between these species needs to be evaluated in more depth. The external habitus of T. constrictatus is also similar to that of T. japi, with equivalent lengths of setae and other characters, but the shape of the spermatheca, short subconical in the former and curved elongated in the latter, is clearly discriminant and serves to differentiate unequivocally both species.

Typhlodromips japi appears to have a promiscuous mating system. The vesicles of all the females were filled with several spermathophores, in a number from two to seven (Fig. 16A). There were no big differences between the number of spermatophores inside the right and left vesicles in the same female, and the average number of those packets of sperm was 5.25 per vesicle. All the females showed the calyx curved in the same orientation and angled at the same point; that is why we consider this a characteristic morphological feature in the species rather than an artefact due to the mounting process.

The studied females are morphologically similar to those of the species description collected in São Paulo, and the setal measurements fit the original description and data provided later by [START_REF] Gonçalves | Phytoseiid mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) from Araucaria Forest of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, with new records and descriptions of four new species[END_REF] and [START_REF] Rocha | Phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in the northern coastal region of the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil[END_REF] for specimens from Rio Grande do Sul.

Taxonomic relationships

Typhlodromips ovametapodalis sp. nov. belongs to the ariri species group. Within this group several species have a saccular calyx and a broad pentagonal ventrianal shield, like T. alpicola (Ehara), T. gimanthus Beard, T. ojibwa (Chant & Hansell), and T. tee (Schicha). However, all these species have setae s4 noticeably shorter (between 30-85% shorter); setae Z5 distinctly longer than Z4 (ratio Z5/Z4 between 1.3-2.2, while in the new species is 1.1); macrosetae on tibia IV longer than on genu IV (except T. tee); dorsal shield with the central area smooth (except T. alpicola); seven instead of eight setae on genu II (except T. objibwa), and none of them has the dorsal shield setae placed on tubercles (Chant & Hansell, 1971; Ehara, 1982; Schicha, 1983; Beard, 2001).

The most similar described species is T. pompeui Gonçalves & Ferla from southern Brazil. Typhlodromips pompeui differs from the new species for having: i) a bigger size, with the dorsal shield 25% longer; ii) dorsal setae not placed on tubercles; iii) setae j3 and Z4 45% shorter; setae S5 70% shorter; setae Z5 23% longer; iv) three pairs of dorsal solenostomes instead of seven in the new species, v) seven setae on genu II instead of eight; vi) preanal pores crescentic instead of punctiform; vii) posterior metapodal shield elongated, no suboval [START_REF] Gonçalves | Phytoseiid mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) from Araucaria Forest of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, with new records and descriptions of four new species[END_REF].

Etymology

The species name refers to the characteristic shape of the posterior metapodal shield, oblong or suboval instead of the more usual elongate shape. It is a compound Latinised noun derived from the words ova meaning "egg" and metapodalis referring to the isolated posterior metapodal plate.

Legal requirements

The biological material was collected under the Brazilian government official authorization conceded to D. Navia by Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, Ministry of Environment (permanent collection permit No. 20650-1).

  . The objective is to report on the collected phytoseiid mites of the genera Neoparaphytoseius Chant & McMurtry and Proprioseius Chant in the tribe Kampimodromini Kolodochka, and species of the genus Typhlodromips De Leon in the tribe Typhlodromipsini Chant & McMurtry.
