03803F71F42090401E4AF7DA73C0F982.taxon	discussion	Remarks SCHUSTER & SUMMERS (1978) mentioned three genera belonging to the Diarthrophallinae for Africa. Species of the genus Notoporus are associated with passalid beetles belonging to the genus Erionomus. At present only two species of Notoporus are known. N. amnoni n. sp. was obtained from thesame host as N. asperatus SCHUSTER & SUMMERS but from the other territory. N. amnoni has character untypical for this genus: femora III and IV each have only one macroseta. This character is typical for the genus Tenuiplanta SCHUSTER & SUMMERS but this genus is known from Mexico and Central America. The remaining characters are typical for the genus Notoporus. In this case N. amnoni n. sp. is provisionally include to the Notoporus. The new species can be distinguished from both known Notoporus by only one macroseta on femora III, IV. From two known species of Tenuiplanta it can be separated: 1) from T. crossi (HUNTER & GLOVER) by distinctly longer ultralong dorsal setae and the presence of six pairs of long setae on dorsal plate (in T. crossi only four pairs), 2) from T. polypora SCHUSTER & SUMMERS by the presence of six pairs of long setae on dorsal plate (in T. polypora five pairs) and shorter ultralong dorsal setae. From both species it differs by the shape of tectum.	en	Haitlinger, Ryszard (2001): Four new diarthrophallid mites (Acari, Mesostigmata, Diarthrophallidae) from tropical Africa.
