Khan, Eid Muhammad, Kamran, Muhammad & Alatawi, Fahad Jaber, 2019, A new species and new records of Tetranychidae (Acari: Trombidiformes) from Saudi Arabia, with a key to world species of Mixonychus Ryke and Meyer, Acarologia 59 (4), pp. 492-506 : 502-503

Evertella orissaensis ( Prasad, 1975) , n. comb.

Bakerina orissaensis Prasad, 1975: 18−20 .

Mixonychus (Bakerina) orissaensis (Prasad) : Bolland et al., 1998: 86.

Distribution — India.

Known hosts — Allium sp. , ( Amaryllidaceae ), Artocarpus heterophyllus (Moraceae) ( Prasad, 1975).

Remarks — Evertella was erected by Meyer (1987) to accommodate Mixonychus (Mixonychus) koegasensis ( Meyer, 1974) . Like Mixonychus (Mixonychus) , Evertella is characterized

by having the dorsal integument finely striate and with protuberances that produce a reticulate appearance, and a simple claw-like empodium. Evertella was separated from Mixonychus because of dorsal opisthosomal setae f1 are absent (present in Mixonychus ).

Prasad 1975 described the dorsal integument of Bakerina orissaensis as striate with comparatively large, round punctations, and Bolland et al. (1998) placed B. orissaensis within Mixonychus (Bakerina) due to the striate dorsum and overlooked the absence of seta f 1 in B. orissaensis which distinguish Evertella from Mixonychus . Therefore, due to absence of f1 seta, Mixonychus (Bakerina) orissaensis is transferred from Mixonychus (Bakerina) to Evertella .
