039A8799FFC72064FF7DF8D2273CF829.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Females of T. lenticulatus n. sp. are similar to T. saccatus Livshits, Mitrofanov and Sharonov, 1979 and T. caucasicus Sharonov and Mitrofanov, 1986 in sharing the general configuration of the pharynx (without sclerotized outer part), sejugal apodeme (with medial incision) and form of the ventral metapodosomal setae (3 a: slender and pointed, 3 b stiff and blunt). It differs from both species by (1) setae 1 a and 2 a stiff and blunt (vs. setae 1 a and 2 a slender and pointed); (2) sejugal apodeme split in lateral parts in the shape of lens-like structures (vs. sejugal apodeme entire in lateral parts); (3) tegula semicircular vs. round triangular.	en	Gheblealivand, Saeide S., Irani-Nejad, Karim Haddad, Magowski, Wojciech Ł., Manzari, Shahab (2018): The genus Tarsonemus Canestrini and Fanzago, 1876 (Acari: Heterostigmatina: Tarsonemidae) in East Azerbaijan, Iran, with a description of T. lenticulatus sp. nov. and re-description of T. annotatus Livshits, Mitrofanov and Sharonov, 1979.

Females of T. annotatus are similar to Tarsonemus bilobatus Suski, 1965 a in having a similar structure of the sejugal apodeme, sclerotized post-atrial sacs, and slender 3 b setae. However it differs from the latter by (1) apodemes 2 ending medially in the distance of 1 / 2 x their length to anteromedial apodeme (vs. apodemes 2 clearly reaching to anteromedial apodeme); (2) bifurcation of posteromedial apodeme expressed (vs. bifurcation of posteromedial apodeme absent); (3) Setae ps separated by distance of ca. 2 x their lengths (vs. ps separated by distance apparently larger than 2 x their lengths).	en	Gheblealivand, Saeide S., Irani-Nejad, Karim Haddad, Magowski, Wojciech Ł., Manzari, Shahab (2018): The genus Tarsonemus Canestrini and Fanzago, 1876 (Acari: Heterostigmatina: Tarsonemidae) in East Azerbaijan, Iran, with a description of T. lenticulatus sp. nov. and re-description of T. annotatus Livshits, Mitrofanov and Sharonov, 1979.
