Fan, Qing-Hai & Walter, David E., 2011, Acamerobia inflatus gen. n. & sp. n. from Australia (Acari: Prostigmata: Raphignathoidea: Camerobiidae) with notes on the idiosomal chaetotaxy, Zootaxa 3045, pp. 45-56 : 46

Acamerobia gen. n.

Female. Stylophore with 4–5 pairs of peritremes. Counts of setae and solenidia from palptrochanter to palptarsus: 0, 2, 1, 3 + 1 claw, 2 setae + 2 eupathidia + 1 solenidion. Idiosoma with 16 pairs of setae (vx present). Anal valves with 2 pairs of pseudanal setae. Solenidion ω on tarsi I–II situated on distal halves. Tarsi I–IV each with 1 medioventral seta. Counts of setae and solenidia of legs I–IV: coxae (excluding 1a, 3a and 4a) 2 + 1 elcI, 1, 2, 2; trochanters 1, 1, 1, 1; femora 5, 4, 3, 2; genua 2 + 1ĸ, 2 + 1ĸ, 2, 1; tibiae 8 + 1φ, 7 + 1φ, 6 + 1φ, 6 + 1φ; tarsi 9 + 1ω, 9 + 1ω, 7, 7.

Type species. Acamerobia inflatus sp. n., by present designation.

Etymology. The genus name Acamerobia is a combination of the prefix a and the existing name, Camerobia .

Remarks. Adult females of Acamerobia gen. n. resemble those of Camerobia Southcott, 1957 and Bisetulobius du Toit, Theron and Ueckermann, 1998 in having complex peritremes and solenidion ω situating on the distal half of tarsi I and II, but can be separated from them in having only two pairs of pseudanal setae and that setae vx are present. More characters for separating genera of Camerobiidae are listed in Table 1.
