DESCRIPTION. FEMALE (holotype). Body ( Fig. 92 ) dark brown; scape and pedicel light brown, flagellum brown; legs light brown except coxae brown. Mesosoma with faint sculpture, that on vertex more conspicuous. Antenna ( Fig. 91 ) with scape (excluding radicle)

3.8× as long as wide, almost smooth; F2 2.5–2.6× as long as wide and shorter than pedicel,

combined length of F1 and F2 notably longer than F3; F3, F4 and F6 the longest funiculars,

subequal in length and about as long as pedicel; F2 without mps, mps on F3 (1), F4 (2), F5

(2) and F6 (2); clava with 6 mps, 3.0× as long as wide, 1.3× as long as combined length of F5

and F6. Fore wing ( Fig. 94 ) almost 6.8× as long as wide; longest marginal seta almost 1.7×

maximum wing width; marginal space separated from medial space by 2 lines of setae

(medial space very small). Hind wing ( Fig. 95 ) about 22× as long as wide; longest marginal seta 4.6× maximum wing width, disc with only admarginal rows of setae on one wing and with

1 additional seta apically on the other wing. Metatarsomere 1 about as long as metatarsomere

2 ( Fig. 93 ). Ovipositor ( Fig. 92 ) occupying entire length of gaster (but not extending forward under mesosoma), not exserted beyond apex of gaster posteriorly, and 1.3× length of metatibia.

Measurements (µm) of the holotype. Body 612 (of the slide-mounted specimen); mesosoma 227; metatibia: 200; gaster 258; ovipositor 258. Scape (minus radicle) 103; pedicel 48;

F1 18; F2 38 (39); F3 48; F4 48; F5 45; F6 48; clava 130. Fore wing 615:91; longest marginal seta 151. Hind wing 606:27; longest marginal seta 124.

Variation (paratypes). Body length 0.57–0.66 mm (slide-mounted specimens). Antenna with scape (excluding radicle) 3.2–3.5× as long as wide, F2 2.4× as long as wide, F3 sometimes slightly shorter than following funiculars and F5 sometimes as long as F4 and F6, F4 with 1

or 2 mps, clava 2.8–3.1× as long as wide and 1.2–1.3× as long as combined length of F5 and

F6. Fore wing 6.5–6.6× as long as wide, longest marginal seta 1.6–1.7× maximum wing width.

Hind wing 19–22× as long as wide, longest marginal seta 3.9–4.5× maximum wing width,

disc with only admarginal rows of setae. Ovipositor 1.4–1.5× length of metatibia.

MALE. Unknown.

DIAGNOSIS. Anaphes (Anaphes) rfe is somewhat similar to A. (Anaphes) medius ; in the latter species, female antenna ( Figs 61, 62 ) has a relatively longer funiculars including F2, F3

and F4 always bear 2 mps each, and the clava is 0.8–0.9× as long as combined length of F5

and F6. The female fore wing of A. (Anaphes) medius ( Fig. 63 ) is relative wider, 4.9–5.4× as long as wide, with the longest marginal seta 0.9–1.0× maximum wing width, and the marginal space is separated from medial space by 1 complete line of setae. From A. (Anaphes)

regulus, female of which has a more or less similar fore wing ( Figs 82 , 88 ) but F3 always bears 2 mps, female A. (Anaphes) rfe also differs by a relatively longer ovipositor, which in body, 93) metatibia and metatarsus, 94) fore wing, 95) hind wing.

the former species occupies 0.8–0.9× length of the gaster and is 0.95–1.0× length of the metatibia. From the Nearctic A. (Anaphes) behmani Girault, 1929 , known from New York,

USA (Huber & Thuróczy, 2018), female A. (Anaphes) rfe differs in having only 1 mps on F3

and by the clava being notably longer than the combined length of F5 and F6, whereas female antenna of the former species has 2 mps on F3 and its clava is a little shorter than the combined length of F5 and F6 (Huber, 1992). Anaphes (Anaphes) rfe differs from A. (Anaphes) brevicornis , which also has a rather short funicle of the female antenna, by the different proportions of the funiculars, as indicated in the key.

ETYMOLOGY. The species name, which is treated as a noun in apposition, is an abbre-

viation for the Russian Far East.

HOSTS. Unknown.
