Three new species and a new name in Diptilomiopinae from China (Acari: Diptilomiopidae) Author Wang, Guo-Quan Author Wei, Sui-Gai Author Yang, Ding text Zootaxa 2009 2015 55 61 journal article 48489 10.5281/zenodo.185924 cb6d91cc-f4a4-493e-a9db-22b617339232 1175-5326 185924 Diptilomiopus japonicus , nom. nov. Vilaia euryae Kuang & Luo 2005 , in Kuang, Luo & Wang, 2005 : 142 .

Host plant. Eurya japonica (Theaceae)
Relation to host. The mites are vagrant	on	the	undersurfaces	of	the	leaves,	no	visible	damage.
Distribution. China (Yunnan, Jiangsu).

Remarks. The genus Vilaia Chandrapatya & Boczek 1991 was considered a junior synonym of Diptilomiopus Nalepa 1916 by Hong & Zhang 1996, Systematic Entomology 22: 323. Therefore, the species Vilaia euryae Kuang & Luo should be moved to the genus Diptilomiopus . However, the species epithet euryae Kuang & Luo is a junior homonym of D. euryae Chen, Wei & Qin 2003 ; therefore we propose the new name, Diptilomiopus japonicus , nom. nov. as a replacement name for this species. Our analysis shows that they are separate, distinct species: in D. japonicus , the prodorsal shield with median and submedian lines incomplete and two rows of medial cells; tarsal empodium each branch 6 or 7-rayed; tarsal solenidion tapered and female genital coverflap with basal granules. In D. euryae , prodorsal shield with median and submedian lines complete and three rows of medial cells; tarsal empodium with each branch 9-rayed; tarsal solenidion knobbed and female genital coverflap with three lines ( Chen et al ., 2003 ). Etymology . The new specific name is derived from the specific name of host plant Eurya japonica Thunb. (Theaceae) .
