Integument reticulated; Cx-I and II fused in medial part ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 A – D ); Cx-III with broad medial edge and short anteromedial apodeme; Cx-IV well developed; Cx-I with three setae; Cx-II without setae; Cx-III with one-two setae and Cx-IV with one anterior seta. Genital field ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 A – D ) with three pairs of stalked elongated genital acetabula. Distance between Ac-1 and Ac-2 twice longer than between Ac-2 and Ac-3, Ac-1 shorter than posterior pairs of acetabula. Males with nearly transparent sclerites projected above Ac-1, bearing 13–14 pairs of setae ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 A – D ); females only with two visible pairs of setae on wrinkles of integument ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 A – H ). Gonopore between first pairs of acetabula. Male’s ejaculatory complex as illustrated on Figs 3B–C View FIGURE 3 A – H . Excretory pore elongated, located posteriorly on ventral side between setae Ci. Gnathosoma anteriorly with papillae ( Fig. 3D View FIGURE 3 A – H ). Pedipalps short ( Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 A – H ). P-1 without setae; P-2 with one lateral and two dorsodistal short setae; P-3 with two long dorsodistal setae; P-4 with large dorsodistal spine and three thin distal setae (dorsal setae absent on pedipalp of holotype); P-5 with very long proximal solenidion. Chelicera ( Fig. 3F View FIGURE 3 A – H ) with large chela. Anterior pairs of legs wider than posterior ( Figs 3G, H View FIGURE 3 A – H ). Claws simple hook-like.

Differential diagnosis. Three known species from the subgenus Wandesia , i.e.— W. polyseta Tuzovskij, 1982 , W. morozovensis Tuzovskij, 1987 and W. japonica Imamura, 1956 have solenidion on P-5 which is much longer than its length. Wandesia polyseta was described on the basis of a deutonymph ( Tuzovskij 1982), and characterized by multiple idiosomal setae. Wandesia sokolowi sp. n. is closely related to W. morozovensis , known from Magadan Region. The new species differs from the latter in the following characters (character states of W. morozovensis are given in parentheses, data taken from Tuzovskij 1987b): Cx-IV well developed (weakly developed, with medial part not reaching medial part of Cx-III); Ac-2 longer than Ac-1 and slightly shorter than Ac-3 (Ac-2 shorter than other pairs of acetabula); setae Ci located on the level of excretory pore (posterior to excretory pore). Males of the new species differ from W. japonica in having elongated acetabula (in Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 A – D from Imamura 1956 all acetabula are rounded), 13–14 pairs of genital setae (6 pairs in W. japonica ) and broader Cx-IV.

Etymology. The species is named after Professor Ivan Ivanovich Sokolow (1885–1972) in appreciation of his studies on water mites of the Russian Far East.

Distribution. Primory Territory, Far East of Russia.
