New spider mite genus (Prostigmata: Tetranychidae) from Australia & New Zealand, with a discussion of Yezonychus Ehara Author Beard, Jennifer Author Walter, David Evans text Zootaxa 2010 2578 1 24 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.197527 9cb64773-c522-4966-9042-b4d8c5bdf5f9 1175-5326 197527 Yezonychus Ehara Type species: Yezonychus sapporensis Ehara, 1978 Diagnosis. Three pairs of prodorsal setae, nine pairs of dorsal opisthosomal setae, seta f2 absent, setae h1–3 present; empodia elongate with basal stalk split distally into two claw-like prongs (stalk clearly visible in dorsoventral perspective; Fig. 1 ); tenent hairs elongate, fine. Insertion of posterior dorsal opisthosomal setae h2 posterior to insertion of setae h1 ( h2 inserted in commonly observed position). Female with spinneret (suζ) longer than broad. Dorsal setae longer than distance to base of setae in next setal row. Remarks. Monotypic genus of the “little web” or LW-s life-type sensu Saito (1983 ; 1985 ; 2009 ), i.e. mites spin life lines while walking, but have no other use of threads. Yezonychus mites attach their eggs to the tips of leaf hairs, and quiescent stages also rest in similar position.
