03C487EB0066CD3316AFC781FBC2FDB1.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The new genus is dedicated to Professor Volker Mahnert (1943 - 2018), an excellent pseudoscorpion specialist and a former director of the Natural History Museum in Geneva (Schwendinger, 2019). The gender of the new genus name is feminine. Notes: Up to now only one genus of the family Eutrachytidae is characterized by long posterior processes of the idiosoma: the genus Dicornutophorus Hirschmann, 1979. This genus possesses a pygidial shield and the marginal shield is complete. These two structures are absent in the new genus. The v 1 setae on the palp trochanter of previously described eutrachytid mites is situated on the surface of the trochanter, whereas in the new genus this seta is placed on a long and apically curved process. All previously collected specimens of the genus Dicornutophorus are from the Neotropical region (Bolivia and Brazil; Wiśniewski, 1993), whereas specimens of the new genus and species were found in West Africa. Zoogeographical note: Till today the African eutrachytids are mostly unknown. The discovery of a second species of this family in Africa indicates that additional closely related species live in the soils of the West African rain forests.	en	Kontschán, Jenő (2020): A second species of the family Eutrachytidae (Acari: Uropodina) in Africa: Mahnertellina paradoxa gen. nov., sp. nov. from the Ivory Coast.

03C487EB0065CD3416FFC01CFAD7FD24.taxon	description	Description of female: Dorsal idiosoma (Figs 1, 13 - 15). Idiosoma yellowish brown, triangular, with two posterior processes, 1290 - 1300 long and 715 - 720 wide (n = 2), all setae on dorsal idiosoma smooth and needlelike. A pair of robust (110 - 115 long and 60 - 70 wide) idiosomal processes situated on posterolateral margin of body, these bearing six to seven 100 - 105 long setae (Fig. 4). Dorsal and marginal shields completely fused in anterior area. Dorsal shield covered by small (8 × 7) oval pits almost on whole surface except for narrow strips close to its lateral margins. Dorsal shield with 24 - 25 pairs of dorsal setae, these about 95 - 110 long and associated with gland pores (Fig. 5). Caudal area of dorsal shield with an elevated, rounded area bearing a pair of about 105 - 108 long setae. Two pairs of setae (about 103 - 108 long) situated on caudal margin of dorsal shield lateral to the elevated area. Marginal shields reduced at level of posterolateral processes, with reticulate sculptural pattern (Fig. 3). Thirty-nine to forty pairs of about 107 - 115 long setae presented on marginal shields and situated on small protuberances. Pygidial region unsclerotized, with soft membraneous integument, lacking scutal elements. Ventral idiosoma (Figs 2, 16). Base of tritosternum narrow, with two anterolateral humps; tritosternal lacinia three-tined, lateral tines each with a small medial spine and pointed, central tine slightly longer and smooth (Fig. 6). Sternal shield with two anterior incisions and without sculptural pattern. Sternal setae st 1 - st 3 minute (about 13 - 17), st 4 (about 114 - 120) and st 5 (about 60 - 70) longer. All sternal setae smooth and needle-like. Setae st 1 situated close to each other and close to anterior margin of genital shield, st 2 close to st 1, st 3 at level of anterior margin of coxae III, st 4 at level of anterior margin of coxae IV, and st 5 close to posterior edge of genital shield. Two pairs of lyriform fissures and three pairs of gland pores situated around st 5.

Eight pairs of smooth and long (about 95 - 130) ventral setae in three groups situated on ventral shield. Three pairs of setae (JV 1, ZV 1, ZV 2) placed anterior to first fields of oval pits, two pairs (JV 3, ZV 3) posterior to these fields, three pairs (JV 4, JV 5, ZV 4) of strongly curved setae present lateral to anal opening. Anal opening very small (about 20 - 24 × 19 - 22), two pairs of long (about 135 - 145), smooth and needle-like adanal setae present; postanal seta absent. Genital shield about 245 - 250 long and about 180 - 185 wide, scutiform, its anterior margin straight, not pointed as in other eutrachytid mites, its surface smooth. Tracheal stigmata situated between coxae II and III; prestigmatic section of peritremes long, with two anterior bends, poststigmatic part short and straight. Leg grooves (pedofossae) absent.

Hypostomal setae h 1 long (about 135 - 140 in length), smooth and needle-like; h 2, h 3 and h 4 shorter (about 22 - 33) and marginally serrate. Setae v 1 on palp trochanter robust, serrate and situated on a long and apically curved process. Setae v 2 on palp trochanter marginally serrate, other setae on palp smooth.
