840287AEED30A534FE15F88795A90832.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis — Diptilomiopus indogangeticus n. sp. shows many similarities with D. cayratus Cheng et al., 2012; D. euscaphiae Wang et al., 2009; D. lithocarpi Wang et al., 2009; D. ligustri Wang et al., 2009 and D. terstroemiae Wang et al., 2009 in having reticulated cellular network on prodorsal shield along with scapular tubercles and presence of palp setae d and ep. However, D. indogangeticus n. sp. can be separated from the above mentioned species by the absence of h 1 setae and having 6 - rayed empodium. The above Diptilomiopus species are very close and can be separated by the following key.	en	Chakrabarti, Samiran, Sur, Surajit, Sarkar, Sanjay (2019): Two new species of Diptilomiopus Nalepa (Acari: Eriophyoidea) from India.

840287AEED34A53BFE15F96193620D24.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis — Diptilomiopus mohanasundarami n. sp. shows most similarities with D. cerberae (Chandrapatya, 1998 in Boczek and Chandrapatya 1998) and D. meliae (Boczek, 1998 in Boczek and Chandrapatya 1998) in having incomplete orientation of cells on posterior half of prodorsal shield and 6 - rayed empodium. But D. mohanasundarami n. sp. can be separated from the above species in having a total of 15 cells on prodorsal shield (20 cells in D. cerberae and 17 cells in D. meliae). Diptilomiopus mohanasundarami n. sp. remains distinct from D. panithus, another species of Diptilomiopus on Mangifera indica (L.) in having the prodorsal shield with 15 cells; only the coxae I are granulated and the opisthosoma is provided with 58 dorsal annuli and 53 ventral annuli (in D. panithus 16 cells are present on prodorsal shield, both coxae are granulated and the opisthosoma is provided with 43 dorsal annuli and 60 ventral annuli). Apart from this, cellular orientations on the prodorsal shield are totally different. Here, a key is given to separate the Diptilomiopus species on Anacardiaceae.	en	Chakrabarti, Samiran, Sur, Surajit, Sarkar, Sanjay (2019): Two new species of Diptilomiopus Nalepa (Acari: Eriophyoidea) from India.
