, and his description needs the following amendments, according to an examination of the holotype: (1) dorsal shield sculpture with a specific pattern of straight and curved lamellar structures, less sclerotised reticulate and granulate areas, and shallow depressions in central and marginal portion; the shield scalloped posteromarginally, bearing 28 pairs of setae (there are two incompletely illustrated pairs and one redundant marginal pair in the original figure of dorsum); (2) setae j1 placed ventrally; (3) sternal shield between coxae II and III with endopodal portions well developed; (4) third pair of sternal lyrifissures on soft integument, behind the pseudo-metasternal platelets; (5) peritrematal shields with a pair of enlarged cavity-like poroid structures; (6) posterior margin of ventrianal shield widely rounded; (7) setae JV1, ZV2 and JV5 on soft integument, JV5 spatulate; (8) setae h1, fixed digit of chelicera, epistome and palptarsal apotele well discernible, typical of the genus (see generic diagnosis above); (9) coxae I-IV with rows of spicules, coxae II with a spine on anterior surface; (10) legs I-IV dorsally with lamellar and papular sclerotic structures; (11) leg chaetotaxy typical for the genus; (12) tarsi I-IV each with empodium but no claws; (13) sperm induction pores discernible, papilla-like.

specimens from Iran (received from A. Ahadiyat, J. Hajizadeh and Sh. Kazemi). Despite certain variability of the lamellar pattern of the sculptural sclerotization (due to different pressure of the cover glass on mounted specimens), and variable shape of some sternal and ventrianal shields, I consider the specimens from Iran (excluding two mites with longer dorsal setae and identified as

in Europe is perhaps unexpected and surprising from a biogeographic and ecological point of view, but specimens from Germany agree in detail with the specimens from South America and Asia. I expect
to be cosmopolitan species distributed by human activities and associated with various synanthropic habitats, including stored grain and other food products, especially in the temperate climatic regions.
