Wetapolipus and Orthapolipus are genera described from Orthoptera Ensifera. Wetapolipus is the only genus from Orthoptera to have more than 2 pairs of legs in the adult female, males with posterodorsal genital capsules and larval females with coxal setae 3a.</p><p>Nine genera of Podapolipidae, all parasites of Coleoptera, have adult females with 3 pairs of legs: 3 scarab beetle parasites, Tarsopolipus Berlese 1911, Scarabapolipus Husband and Kurosa 1993, and Stenopolipus Husband 1984; 4 carabid parasites, Eutarsopolipus Berlese 1913, Dorsipes Regenfuss 1968, Ovacarus Stannard and Vaishampayan 1971, and Regenpolipus Husband 1986; 1 curculionid parasite, Rhynchopolipus (Husband and Flechtmann 1972) . The 10th genus with 3 pairs of legs, Wetapolipus from Orthoptera, is the only genus to have spinelike tibia I seta v' and spinelike tibiae II, III seta l' in male, female and larval female instars and scaled adult females.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA87E8FFB15E6A930939007F9F0EA9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
