The adults collected on white poplar were taken from the cauliflower-like woody bud galls and twig deformations caused by an eriophyid mite, Aceria populi (Nalepa). These specimens were found together with phytoseiid, acarid and tarsonemid mites, and Phylloxerina populi (del Guercio) (Hemiptera: Phylloxeridae) (Ripka and Szabó 2011; Ripka et al. 2013 b).

03B36C05FF9C9164FEB29B9AFC58FD4C.taxon	etymology	Etymology The species is named for Kuns, Latin Cumanus. Kuns (L. Cumanus) was a confederation of tribes in the middle age who came from Asia and settled in the Carpathian basin during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. They lived among others in the Great Hungarian Plane, around Kecskemét, which is the county seat of Bács-Kiskun county. The gender is masculine.	en	Ueckermann, Edward A., Ripka, Géza (2015): Three new species and a new record of tenuipalpid mites (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) from Hungary.

03B36C05FF9C9164FEB29B9AFC58FD4C.taxon	discussion	Remarks This species was compared with all the species listed in Mesa et al. (2009) (60 species) and four recently described species (Khanjani et al. 2012), except for Cenopalpus tamarixi (Nassar and Kandeel) because the original description could not be found. This species belongs to the spinosus - group (Baker et al. 1975; Hatzinikolis et al. 1999). Female characters as well as spermathecae and dorsal setal patterns of nymphs (where available) were compared. This species comes very close to Cenopalpus limbatus Akbar and Chaudhri (1985), in having seta-like dorsal setae, dorsum reticulated and in the leg chaetotaxy. However, it differs from the latter in that the dorsum is not evenly reticulated, rostrum not reaching anterior margin of femur I, venter with a transverse band of reticulations posterior to setae 4 a, but in C. limbatus it is interrupted medially and ventral and genital shields are reticulated instead of striated as in C. limbatus. According to the description of C. limbatus, setae 4 a is also much shorter extending to 3 a whereas it extends almost to coxae II in the new species. Unfortunately, the deutonymph for C. limbatus is unknown which, if available, would have confirmed the identity of the new species.	en	Ueckermann, Edward A., Ripka, Géza (2015): Three new species and a new record of tenuipalpid mites (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) from Hungary.

03B36C05FF95917AFEDD9BA7FC56FECE.taxon	etymology	Etymology The specific designation is derived from the Latin word adventicius meaning introduced, referring to the introduced host plant (Rosmarinus o ffi cinalis of Mediterranean origin) and the introduced mite. The gender is masculine.	en	Ueckermann, Edward A., Ripka, Géza (2015): Three new species and a new record of tenuipalpid mites (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) from Hungary.

03B36C05FF95917AFEDD9BA7FC56FECE.taxon	discussion	Remarks This species belongs to the pterinus- group of species (Baker et al. 1975; Hatzinikolis et al. 1999), in which setae f 2 is absent. It includes: Cenopalpus pterinus Pritchard and Baker, 1958, Cenopalpus arbuti Hatzinikolis and Emmanouel, Cenopalpus pistaciae Papadoulis and Panou, Cenopalpus o ffi cinalis Papaioannou-Souliotis, 1986 and Cenopalpus creticus Hatzinikolis, Papadoulis and Panou. However, Cenopalpus adventicius sp. nov. differs mainly in the deutonymph having all dorsal setae very long, except for setae d 1, e 1 and h 1, which are minute. The females further differ in the shape of the spermatheca being lobed in the new species whereas in the other species it varies, being a large pearshaped sac, kidney-shaped or small pear-shaped knobs. A spermatheca for C. pterinus is not known. The rostrum of the new species extends almost to anterior margin of femur I as in C. arbuti and C. o ffi cinalis, in the other species it extends beyond the anterior margin of femur I. The new species differs from C. arbuti and C. pistaciae in that trochanters III and IV bear two and one seta instead of one and no setae, respectively, while the trochanters’ setal formula of C. o ffi cinalis is 1 - 1 - 1 - 1, and 1 - 1 - 2 - 1 in the new species. The femora setal formula of C. creticus is 4 - 3 - 2 - 0, as opposed to 4 - 4 - 2 - 2 in the new species and in C. o ffi cinalis. The chaetotaxy of the tarsi of C. arbuti and C. creticus are 6 (2) - 6 (2) - 5 - 5 and 7 (1) - 7 (1) - 5 - 5, whereas it is 9 (1) - 9 (1) - 5 - 5 in the new species. According to Hatzinikolis and Papadoulis (1987) tarsi I and II of C. arbuti each have two solenidia, but judging from the figure it seems as if they considered one of the p setae, as a solenidion. The new species is most similar to C. o ffi cinalis and shares the same host. It differs from C. o ffi cinalis as mentioned above. The spermatheca of the female of C. o ffi cinalis is kidney-shaped whereas it is lobed in the new species; the rostral shield has two median and two submedian lobes in the new species, and two median, two submedian and two lateral lobes in C. o ffi cinalis. The male of the new species differs from that of C. o ffi cinalis in that the reticulations of the dorsal shields are smaller, the rostrum extends almost to the anterior margin of femur I, instead of beyond, the rostral shield has four blunt median lobes, as opposed to only two long, median lobes, and setae v 2 is slightly longer than distance v 2 – v 2 whereas it is twice as long as v 2 – v 2 in C. o ffi cinalis.	en	Ueckermann, Edward A., Ripka, Géza (2015): Three new species and a new record of tenuipalpid mites (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) from Hungary.

03B36C05FF8B9176FEA89896FC07FA9A.taxon	discussion	Remarks Several attempts during this study to collect more specimens were unsuccessful implying it to be a rare species. However, we carefully compared it with the descriptions of all the listed species (Mesa et al. 2009). Therefore, we still wish to publish it and if more specimens may be found in future we will revise it. This species belongs to the caudatus- group, subgroup anoplus, of species which have one pair of 3 a and one pair of 4 a setae (Meyer 1993). Tenuipalpus budensis sp. nov. closely resembles Tenuipalpus sanblasensis De Leon, Tenuipalpus. moraesi Feres and Hernandes, Tenuipalpus jianfengensis Ma and Yuan, Tenuipalpus hornotinus Chaudhri, and Tenuipalpus placitus Chaudhri, in having all dorsal setae, except h 2, very short. However, it differs from them all mainly in the dorsal and ventral ornamentations, namely irregular striate-rugose with smooth patches and complete and incomplete reticulations, and strongly striate-rugose, respectively. In most of the other species it is mainly striate, but the prodorsum of T. sanblasensis has distinct L-shaped ridges medially and T. moraesi has a wrinkled ornamentation dorsally, and is striate ventrally. The female further differs from T. moraesi and T. placitus in that the aggenital setae are shorter than the distance to the genital setae and the rostrum reaches only to the basal quarter of femur I whereas in T. moraesi, T. jianfengensis, T. hornotinus and T. placitus it reaches to at least half the length of femur I. Unfortunately, the spermatheca was not described for these species, which may be an additional distinguishing character.	en	Ueckermann, Edward A., Ripka, Géza (2015): Three new species and a new record of tenuipalpid mites (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) from Hungary.
