Diptilomiopidae , Rhyncaphytoptinae ( Figs. 1–2 ) Diagnosis. Solivagus n. gen. is a Rhyncaphytoptinae genus with coxal seta I ( 1b ) absent; prodorsal shield with scapular setae ( sc ) absent, however, scapular tubercles present, minute, with longitudinal bases and near rear shield margin; tibial seta ( l’ ) on leg I present; genual setae ( l’’ ) absent in leg II and femoral seta ( bv ) absent on legs I and II. This new genus is near Sakthirhynchus Umapathy & Mohanasundaram, 1999 ; Chakrabartiella Amrine & Stasny, 1994 and Hyborhinus Mohanasundaram, 1986 of the Rhyncaphytoptinae in the absence of coxal seta I ( 1b ). However, it differs from these genera especially in the chaetotaxy of the legs and prodorsal shield. It varies from Sakthirhynchus in the presence of genual seta ( l’’ ) and tibial seta ( l’ ) on leg I and prodorsal shield tubercles, all absent in Sakthirhynchus ; from Chakrabartiella in the absence of genual seta ( l’’ ) on leg II and of scapular setae ( sc ), both present in Chakrabartiella ; and from Hyborhinus , in the absence of femoral seta ( bv ) on legs I and II, genual seta ( l’’ ) on leg II and of scapular seta ( sc ), all present in Hyborhinus . Type species. Solivagus alpha n. sp. Etymology. The generic name, Solivagus , is derived from the Latin words solus or solitarius , which means alone or solitary and the Latin word vagus , which means wandering, and refers to the vagrant habit of the mite. Gender: masculine.
