A systematic revision of the scale mites of the genus Neopterygosoma Fajfer, 2019 (Acariformes: Pterygosomatidae) formerly placed in the genus Pterygosoma Peters, 1849, is presented. Two new natural species groups are established: the chilensis group for species found on Chilean liolaemid lizards (Sauria: Liolaemidae) and the patagonica group for N. patagonica (Dittmar de la Cruz, Morando & Avila, 2004) found on several Liolaemus spp. from Argentina. A neotype of N. patagonica is designated. A leg chaetotaxy model for tarsi-coxae I-IV is proposed for the genus. A key to all species of Neopterygosoma is provided and a full list of Neopterygosoma spp. with their updated host associations and distribution data is compiled. Additionally, a new species, N. schroederi n. sp. found on Liolaemus schroederi Müller & Hellmich, is described, including for the first time, description and illustrations of the immature stages of a species of Neopterygosoma.
本文对 Fajfer(2019)归入 Pterygosoma Peters, 1849 属的 Scale mites of the genus Neopterygosoma(蜱螨目:Pterygosomatidae)进行了系统修订。建立了两个新的自然种组:chilensis 组,包括在智利蜥脚类蜥蜴(蜥蜴目:Liolaemidae)上发现的物种;patagonica 组,包括在阿根廷的几种 Liolaemus spp. 上发现的 N. patagonica(Dittmar de la Cruz, Morando & Avila, 2004)。指定了 N. patagonica 的正模。为该属提出了跗节-股节 I-IV 的腿刚毛图谱模型。提供了 Neopterygosoma 所有种的关键特征,并编制了 Neopterygosoma spp. 的完整清单,其中包括更新的宿主关联和分布数据。此外,还描述了一种新种,N. schroederi n. sp.,发现于 Liolaemus schroederi Müller & Hellmich,这是首次对 Neopterygosoma 物种的未成熟阶段进行描述和说明。
