Abacarus aralioidus sp. nov. ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 )
Female: Body spindleshaped, 156 long, shield 48 long, 55 wide, shield lobe present, shield design with median line from base to basal 4/5, with many dashed lines at anterior; admedian lines semicircularlike, with granules at base, scapular tubercles set at rear shield margin, setae (sc) 9 long, directed to rear, DtDt 21 apart; leg segments normal, fore tibial setae (1') set at 1/2, 6 long; coxal area with several granules; 1st coxal setae (1b) 5 long, Ct1Ct1 15 apart, 2nd coxal setae (1a) 10 long, Ct2Ct2 7 apart, 3rd coxal setae (2a) 11 long, Ct3Ct3 22 apart, Ct1\Ct2 13, Ct1Ct2 7, Ct2\Ct3 15, Ct2Ct3 8; claw ending as knob; empodium simple, 5 rayed.
Opisthosoma: dorsum with median ridge shorter than submedian ridges, 1st dorsal annulus broad, dorsal annuli with about 33 annuli, with spiny microtubercles at median ridge, 1st 3 dorsal annuli 14 long, ventral annuli with about 58 microtuberculate rings; lateral setae (c2) 11 long, LtLt 52 apart, Lt\Vt1 46, LtVt1 24; 1st ventral setae (d) 23 long, Vt1Vt1 31 apart, Vt1\Vt2 27, Vt1Vt2 24; 2nd ventral setae (e) 8 long, Vt2Vt2 10 apart, Vt2\Vt3 40, Vt2Vt3 36; 3rd ventral setae (f) 7 long, Vt3Vt3 8 apart; accessory setae (h1) absent.
Epigynium: 21 wide, 14 long, with about 12 longitudinal ridges, with dashed lines at base, genital setae (3a) 9 long, GtGt 13 apart.
Male: not seen.
Type data: Holotype female, TAICHUNG: Hoping, 31Oct.1996, K. W. Huang; ex Trochodendron aralioides S. et Z. ( Trochodendraceae ). (deposited at NMNS).
Paratypes, 2 females, data same as for holotype.
Relation to host: A vagrant on the lower leaf surface. No apparent damage was observed.
Note: This new species is close to A. bambusae ( Channabasavanna, 1966) Keifer, 1944 but differs in the shield design with a semicircularlike admedian lines, lacking transverse line between admedian lines, and the 5rayed empodium.
