Abstract

The subfamily Onychalginae Fain, 1988 (Acariformes: Pyroglyphidae) is a monophyletic lineage comprising the closest parasitic relatives of the free-living pyroglyphid house dust mites. Onychalgine mites parasitize passerine birds of the families Estrildidae, Passeridae, and Ploceidae in Africa and South America (a single record of Onychalges spinitarsis from a piciform bird requires confirmation). We revise this subfamily based on external morphology of adults and immature stages using light and scanning electron microscopy and give a key to species. Onychalginae includes 2 genera: Onychalges Gaud and Mouchet, 1959 (6 species) and Paramealia Gaud, 1968 (1 species). The genus Kivuicola Fain, 1971 syn. nov. is synonymized with Onychalges, and its single species K. kivuana Fain, 1971 syn. nov. is considered as a putative synonym of O. odonturus Gaud, 1968. Onychalges spinitarsis (Fain and Gaud, 1984) is considered as a species inquirenda.

摘要

甲螨亚科（Onychalginae Fain，1988）（真螨目：尘螨科）是一个单系类群，包含与自由生活的尘螨科屋尘螨亲缘关系最近的寄生螨类。甲螨亚科螨类寄生于非洲和南美洲的梅花雀科、雀科及织布鸟科的雀形目鸟类（来自啄木鸟形鸟类的尖跗甲螨的单一记录有待确认）。我们利用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜，基于成虫和未成熟阶段的外部形态对该亚科进行了修订，并给出了分种检索表。甲螨亚科包括2个属：高氏甲螨属（Onychalges Gaud和Mouchet，1959）（6种）和副甲螨属（Paramealia Gaud，1968）（1种）。基伍甲螨属（Kivuicola Fain，1971）新异名被同义化为高氏甲螨属，其唯一物种基伍基伍甲螨（K. kivuana Fain，1971）新异名被视为1968年高氏尖齿甲螨（O. odonturus Gaud）的一个假定同义词。尖跗甲螨（Onychalges spinitarsis）（Fain和Gaud，1984）被视为一个待研究物种。
