            <p> Etymology. The species name refers to the specific name of the plant on which it was collected,  Austroderia splendens (Poaceae) . </p>
            <p> Remarks. Before this paper, five species of  Prolixus had been described and all of them were recorded from  Gahnia (Cyperaceae) , residing in the tight grooves along the leaf blades of host plants.  Prolixus splendens sp. nov. was collected from  Austroderia splendens (Poaceae) , which is a new host plant for this mite genus. </p>
            <p> Prolixus splendens sp. nov. is similar to  Prolixus forsteri Beard, Fan &amp; Walter, 2005 in having six pairs of dorsolateral setae (f 2 present) and a pair of aggenital setae ag (setae f 2 and ag absent in all other known species of  Prolixus ), but mainly differs in the following characters: adult female with spermatheca ending in a bulb-shaped vesicle; setal counts (legs I–IV): coxae 2-2-1-1; femora 4-4-2-2; genua 2-2-0-0; adult male with 7+2 ω -7+2 ω -5+ ω -5 setae on tarsi (adult female with spermatheca ending in a cylinder-shaped vesicle; coxae 1-2-1-1; femora 4-4-2-1; genua 2-1-0-0; adult male with 7+2 ω -7+2 ω -5-5 setae on tarsi in  P. forsteri ). </p>
            <p> There have been several papers discussing the ontogeny of  Prolixus recently (Beard et al. 2005; Beard &amp; Ochoa 2011; Xu &amp; Zhang 2014; Xu et al. 2017b): setae 1a, 3a, ps 1 and ps 2 are present from the larval stage; 1c, 2c, 3b and ag, if present, appear in the protonymph; 2b and 4b and 4a 1, if present, appear in the deutonymph; genital setae g 1 appear in deutonymph; 4a 2 (if present) and g 2 are added in the adult. All of these setae appear in their expected life stage for the  Tenuipalpidae (Lindquist 1985; Beard et al. 2014). </p>
            <p> The ontogenetic changes in the chaetotaxy of leg segments are presented in Table 1. For  Tenuipalpidae , females and males share similar chaetotaxy in most cases, and on adult male a solenidion is usually added to tarsi I–II (Lindquist 1985), sometimes to tarsi III–IV, such as on  Acaricis urigersoni (Xu &amp; Zhang 2013) . In contrast, differences in chaetotaxy are usually present between females and males of  Prolixus (e.g.  P. forsteri and  P. corruginus ), even throughout their entire ontogenetic cycle (e.g.  P. setifolius ). In this new species  Prolixus splendens sp. nov. , females and males have similar leg chaetotaxy except that the male adds a solenidion to tarsi I–III. </p>
