Water mite species of the genus Hydrodroma Koch (Acari: Hydrachnidia, Hydrodromidae) from Australia. Part II Author Pesic, Vladimir Author Smit, Harry text Zootaxa 2007 1509 41 50 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.177223 482ce760-15b3-4eb2-87ea-76ba0c0b02c9 1175-5326 177223 Hydrodroma tonapii Cook ( Table 5 ) Material compared : “ Holotype Ψ India , Kerala St. 2 m . W. Vayitri ex. stream 15 February 1963 , D.R. Cook IND 81” ( FMNH ). State of conservation: mounting medium slightly darkened and turbid, right palp missing. Remarks : H. tonapii was described by Cook (1967) from a single female specimen taken in Kerala State ( India ). The description of this species did not include a discussion of affinities. Furthermore Cook gave no information about the presence and number of swimming setae on II/III-L. The number and distribution of swimming setae on legs (see Table 5 ), makes H. tonapii similar to H. reinhardi Pesic (Mediterranean) and H. wilesi sp. nov. (see above). For a clearer separation of H. reinhardi and H. tonapii , information on general variability of measurements in additional specimens of H. tonapii is necessary ( Pesic 2002 ). Distribution: India . Habitat: stream. TABLE 5. Number of swimming setae of H. tonapii Cook.
