Moreover, some leg setae of European + +M. meridianus + +are thickened ( +d +on all femora, +l’ +on femora I and II, +l” +on genua I and II, +v” +on tibiae I and II), whereas in + +M +. +mollicomus + +they are thin.

The diagnosis of adult + +M. meridianus + +given by +Sellnick (1928) +was imprecise, and this author also noted this species in +Iceland +and +Greenland +( +Sellnick 1960 +), which is close to +Canada +. Similarly, the Japanese adults of + +M. meridianus + +are clearly smaller than those from Europe and +Canada +, and have 4−6 pairs of genital setae, instead of 6 pairs that are present in European and Canadian adults. Therefore, more detailed investigations are required on European, Canadian and Japanese adults of + +M. meridianus + +, including the juvenile stages and molecular investigations to find out if these populations belong to + +M. meridianus + +or represent unknown cryptic species. + + + +Seniczak +et al +. (2023) + +also compared chosen morphological characters of adults, tritonymphs and larvae of + +M +. +avachai + +, + +M +. +azoricus + +, + +M +. +interruptus + +, + +M +. +paramollicomus + +and + +M +. +stagnatilis + +. Based on the morphology of these stages, + +M. meridianus + +is most similar to + +M +. +azoricus + +, + +M +. +paramollicomus + +, and + +M +. +stagnatilis + +, differing from them in four morphological characters, and is most different from + +M +. +avachai + +, differing from it in 13 morphological characters. Generally, + +M +. +avachai + +differs clearly from other species of + +Melanozetes + +and is more similar to some species of + +Fuscozetes +Sellnick, 1928 + +( +Seniczak 1989b +, +1993a +; + +Seniczak +et al +. 2016a + +). For example, the larva of + +M +. +avachai + +lacks the gastronotal shield as that of + +F +. +fuscipes +(C. L. +Koch, 1844 +) + +and + +F +. +tatricus +Seniczak, 1993 + +, and seta +c +1 +is inserted on microslerite, as in + +F +. +tatricus +( +Seniczak 1993a +) + +. In the larvae of + +Melanozetes +species + +this seta is inserted on humeral sclerite ( +Seniczak 1989a +, +1993b +). In + +M +. +avachai + +setae +c +2 +and +c +3 +are inserted on microslerites, as in + +F +. +tatricus + +, whereas in other + +Melanozetes +species + +they are inserted on unsclerized integument. In the nymphs and adult of + +M +. +avachai + +femora I and II are oval in cross section, as in + +Fuscozetes +species + +, whereas in other species of + +Melanozetes + +they are flattened, with a large ventral carina. + + + +The adult and tritonymph of + +M. meridianus + +have relatively large number of thickened leg setae comparing to most species of + +Melanozetes + +( +Table 2 +). The highest number of these setae has + +M +. +paramollicomus + +(30 setae), smaller number has + +M. meridianus + +(25 setae), whereas + +M +. +avachai + +and + +M +. +azoricus + +have 13 and nine setae, respectively.
