893C440BFFDBFF9146E110D0FC72F83B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Females of Brevipalpus noranae sp. nov. are similar to females of Brevipalpus plucheae Baker, Tuttle and Abbatiello, 1975 in dorsal, ventral and leg setation but can be distinguished by the presence of the large vase (urn) shaped pattern, with a small medio posterior v-shaped extension on the hysterosoma which is absent in B. plucheae, the rostral shield hastwo ancillary lobes on each side in B. noranae but with 3 ancillary lobes on each side in B. plucheae, the propodosomal and hystrosomal pores are present in B. plucheae but absent in B. noranae; the ventral shield in B. noranae has transverse striae meeting with the lateral margins anteriorly but fading posteriorly, whereas this shield is areolate- rugose in B. plucheae.	en	Halawa, Alaa M., Fawzy, Magdy M.

893C440BFFDFFF9546E111A8FD54FC65.taxon	discussion	Remark. The original description of Brevipalpus californicus was given by Banks (1904) from Redlands, California, and placed under the genus Brevipalpus by McGregor (1949).
