Kamran.</p> <p>Etymology: Name of new species is proposed on the name of the region, “Arab”.</p> <p>Remarks: This new species belongs to the tragardhi species group and is similar to Aegyptobia abuzabiensis Meyer &amp; Van Dis, 1993 in leg setation (Seeman and Beard, 2011), the form of the dorsal setae, and general ornamentation. However, it differs from A. abuzabiensis by the presence of a deep notch on the anterior margin of the prodorsal shield (very shallowly emarginated in the latter species), the ventral shield (transverse vs. longitudinal striations), and the dorsal shield reticulation being compact in the new species versus large cells in A. abuzabiensis. The new species can be separated from other closely related species A. baptus (Pritchard and Baker, 1952) and A. neobaptus Meyer, 1979 by differences in leg setation, and from A. haplopappus Baker and Tuttle, 1972 by the propodosoma with reticulate elements medially in the new species whereas striated in A. haplopappus, and also the difference in leg chaetotaxy.</p> <p>Aegyptobia tragardhi Sayed</p> <p>Aegyptobia tragardhi Sayed, 1950: 1018; Pritchard and Baker, 1958: 181; Meyer, 1979: 123; Khanjani et al., 2012: 43 – 45.</p> <p>Pentamerismus tragardhi Baker and Pritchard, 1953: 355.</p> <p>Aegyptobia ueckermanni Khosrowshahi and Arbabi, 1997: 8 – 9.</p> <p>New record.</p> <p>Twelve females ex Thuja occidentalis L.

(Cupressaceae), Baha, Saudi Arabia, 20°6.695′N, 41°26.745′E, 24 April 2013. Coll. M. Kamran.</p> <p>Etymology: The name of the new species is proposed based on the name of the city from which it was collected.</p> <p>Remarks: The new species belongs to the erythreus species group of Pentamerismus. The new species closely resembles P. foliisetis Livshitz &amp; Mitrofanov, 1967 (Livshitz and Mitrofanov, 1967). Both share a deeply notched anterior margin of the prodorsum and setae c1 and c2 are broad and sublanceolate. However, the new species differs from the latter in that the intercoxal area behind setae 4a is transversely striated instead of smooth, the dorsal seta on femur I is sublanceolate instead of long and slender, and the genital flap is transversely striated versus smooth in P. foliisetis. The new species can be distinguished from another related species, P. behsharicus Khanjani &amp; Gotoh, 2008, by genua I and II each with 3 setae in the new species as opposed to 4 in P. behsharicus (highly unusual presence of a ventral seta on the genu of the Tenuipalpidae), and dorsal setae c1 and c2 sublanceolate in new species instead of setiform as in P. behsharicus. The host plant of the new species, Thuja occidentalis L. (Cupressaceae), is the same as in the other 3 species of Pentamerismus, P. assianensis Thewke and Enns, P. coronatus Canestrini &amp; Fangazo, and P. judiciarus De Leon, which belong to the species group oregonensis, while the new species belongs to the species group erythreus.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B95687C7FFFBFFE1FF61FA77453CFEEC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
