After critically assessing of the published literature for all 23 species of the tenuipalpid genus Pentamerimus McGregor, 1949, this taxon is divided into two subgenera: subgenus Pentamerismus McGregor, 1949 with setae f2 present (12 species) and a restored subgenus Oligomerismus Mitrofanov, 1973 lacking setae f2 (11 species). Based on the material from Saudi Arabia, the male of Pentamerismus (Oligomerismus) retusus Meyer, 1979 is for the first time described, and the complementary description of the female is provided. The generic affiliation of P. (O.) collinus Meyer & Van Dis, 1993 is discussed. Additionally, an updated key to all known species of the genus Pentamerismus is provided.
在对1949年叶螨科五角叶螨属的所有23个物种的已发表文献进行严格评估后，该分类单元被分为两个亚属：1949年的五角叶螨亚属，有f2刚毛（12个物种），以及恢复的1973年的寡角叶螨亚属，没有f2刚毛（11个物种）。基于来自沙特阿拉伯的材料，首次描述了1979年的钝五角叶螨（寡角叶螨亚属）的雄性，并提供了雌性的补充描述。讨论了1993年的柯氏五角叶螨（寡角叶螨亚属）的属级归属。此外，还提供了五角叶螨属所有已知物种的最新检索表。
