Legs ІІ 20 (19−22), femur 7 (7−8), basiventral femoral setae ( bv ) 10 (9−12); genu 2.5 (2.5−3), antaxial genual setae ( l'' ) 8 (7−9); tibiae very small but distinct, 1 (1−2); tarsus 5 (5−6); tarsal empodium 3 (3−4), simple, 5-rayed, tarsal solenidion 7 (6−8), knobbed. Opisthosoma : dorsum with submedian ridges, dorsal annuli 35 (34−36), smooth and undulated; ventral annuli 43 (41−45), with filamentous microtubercles; setae c2 14 (13−16) on ventral annulus 9 (8−9); setae d 44 (40−46) on ventral annulus 18 (18−19); setae e 9 (8−9) on ventral annulus 29 (28−29); setae f 20 (19−21), on 6th ventral annulus from rear; setae h2 58 (52−70), setae h1 present 1 (1−2). Female genitalia 17 (17−18) long, 23 (22−24) wide, coverflap sculptured with basal granules, proximal setae on coxisternum ІІІ ( 3a ) 6 (6−7). FIGURE 1. Calliparus lanceolarus n. gen. and n. sp. CGF—coxigenital area of female; D—dorsal view of female; E—empodium; L—lateral view of female; LS—lateral view of annuli; L1—legs І; L2—legs І. (Scale bar: CGF—14; L, D—21; L1, L2—16). Male: Not seen. Type data: Holotype , female, Liujing town, 60 km South of Beiliu County ( 22°71’N , 110°33’E ), Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China , 27-Jan.-2006 , from Glochidion lanceolarium (Roxb.) Voigt (Euphorbiaceae) , collected by De-Wei LI and Guo-Ying SHI. Paratypes , 8 females , with the same data as holotype . Relation to host: The mites are vagrant on the undersurface of leaves, no visible damage symptom. Etymology: The species name is derived from the specific name of the host plant.
