| Summary: | A new genus for the tribe Pseudotarsonemoidini of the family Tarsonemidae is established in order to accommodate undescribed mites associated with bark beetles in Mexico. The new, monotypic genus <i>Ochyronemus</i>, with the type species <i>O. jaliscoe</i> being diagnostically and phylogenetically closest to the derived <i>Pseudotarsonemoides</i>-<i>Tarsobisulcus</i> cluster of the Pseudotarsonemoidini, possesses an intermediate position between these two genera. Details of the morphology related to its genus-level affiliation, primarily tibiotarsal I claw and leg setation, are compared in the context of the other genera of the tribe. |
