Longisolenidionus gen. nov.

Type species. Longisolenidionus amurensis sp. nov.

Diagnosis. Body fusiform; prodorsal shield with acuminate frontal lobe, scapular tubercles and setae (sc) ahead of rear prodorsal shield margin, scapular setae projecting up; all coxal setae present; legs with usual segment and setae, solenidion (ω) very long; opisthosoma with a wide furrow, with broad dorsal annuli and narrow ventral annuli, opisthosoma with all usual series of setae; empodium entire; female genital coverflap appressed to coxal plates.

Etymology. The genus designation is derived from the combination of longi and solenidion, means this genus with longer solenidion, masculine in gender.

Notes. The new genus is assigned to Eriophyoidea, Eriophyidae , Phyllocoptinae , Phyllocoptini . The new genus is similar to Phyllocoptruta Keifer, 1938 , but can be differentiated from the latter by solenidion (ω) very long (solenidion normal in length in Phyllocoptruta ) and female genital coverflap appressed to coxal plates (female genital coverflap not appressed to coxal plates in Phyllocoptruta ). The new genus is also similar to Paracaridilophus Xue, Cheng & Hong, 2011a , but can be differentiated from the latter by solenidion (ω) very long (solenidion normal in length in Paracaridilophus ) and posterior part of opisthosoma normal (posterior part of opisthosoma like a tail in Paracaridilophus ).
