The mite fauna of the state Baja California Sur is one of the least studied in Mexico. During an expedition to 10 locations in 1998, focusing on prostigmatic terrestrial mites, two families of the superfamily Anystoidea were identified: Anystidae and Teneriffiidae, the later being a new record for Baja California Sur. A phylogenetic analysis on Erythracarinae resulted in the diagnosis of two new genera, GN1 and GN2, both belonging to the family Anystidae. GN1 is monophyletic and includes three species, GN2 is monotypic. Other genera and species found in Baja California Sur include the anystids Erythracarus nasutus Otto, Tarsotomus sp., Paratarsotomus sp., Chaussieria capensis Meyer et Ryke, and the teneriffiid Neoteneriffiola uta Tibbetts. |
