Diagnosis (Male unknown). Idiosoma> 800; dorsal shield with colour pattern as illustrated in Fig. 5C View Figure 5 . CxII and III with a spinelike seta; suture line CxII/III undulating, forming a bay embracing Cxgl4, located anterior to IVL insertions; L1 anteromedially to L2.
Description
Female – Colour pale yellow, dorsal shield with colour pattern as illustrated in Fig. 5C View Figure 5 . Dorsal shield L 813, W 597, L/W ratio 1.36. Coxal field: CxII and CxIII each with two spinelike setae; gnathosomal bay L 138; suture lines of CxII/III and CxIII/IV continuous, reaching the median line; CxII/III median fusion point between CxIII/IV median fusion point and CxI/II median fusion point; suture line CxII/III undulating, forming a bay embracing Cxgl4, located anterior to IVL insertions ( Fig. 4B View Figure 4 ). Distance Cxgl4Cxgl4 142, Cxgl 2Cxgl 2 197; distance between IVLinsertions 250. L1 anteromedially to L2 Genital field: Acetabular plate L/W 94/98100, each plate with 3738 acetabula.
Palp ( Fig. 4C View Figure 4 ): palp total L 325326, dL/H, d/H ratio: P1, 40/39, 1.02; P2, 81/48, 1.7; P3, 57/43, 1.32; P4, 106/33, 3.19; P5, 4142/18, 2.3; L ratio P2/P4 0.76; P4 with 2 setae in the distal half of ventral margin and 56 dorsodistal setae. Gnathosoma vL 134, with apodemes 207; chelicera total L 221, basal segment L 157, claw L 66.
Leg swimming setae numbers: IIL5, 4; IIIL5, 47; IVL5, 67. dL of IL26: 49, 65, 80, 91, 104; dL of IIL26: 55, 74, 86, 104, 102; dL of IIIL26: 59, 76, 92, 103, 99; dL of IVL: 126, 52, 93, 111, 122, 97.
Male – unknown.
Etymology. Named after Ksenia Semenchenko (Vladivostok, Russia), for her contribution to the taxonomy of water mites.
Remarks. Due to the similar configuration of coxal suture lines and shifting of Cxgl4 anterior to IVL insertions, the new species is most similar to A. vanimoensis Wiles, 1992 and A. papuaensis Smit, 2013 , from Papua, New Guinea, both only known in the female sex (see Wiles 1992 and Smit 2013, respectively). The new species can be distinguished from the abovementioned species by the different colour pattern (dorsal shield posteriorly with a rose tinge in A. papuaensis , a blue band across the middle of the dorsal shield in A. vanimoensis ) and by having a spinelike seta on CxII and CxIII. Albia papuaensis (in parentheses data taken from Smit 2013), is similar in a broader idiosoma (L/W ratio 1.32), and L2 lying anteromedially to L1, but differs in minor idiosoma and palp dimensions (L idiosoma 664, P2, 60; P4, 62). A. vanimoensis differs in a more slender idiosoma (L/W ratio 1.59) and L2 lying anterior, but both median ( Wiles 1992).
Habitat. A small sandy/bouldary pool near the main stream, shaded by riparian vegetation ( Fig. 11 View Figure 11 ).
Distribution. South Korea; known only from the type locality.
