Diagnosis.
(Based on: Pritchard and Baker 1955; Tuttle and Baker 1968; Meyer 1974, 1987; Beard et al. 2003, 2008; Khanjani et al. 2018). Empodia well developed, claw-like with proximoventral hairs (except male leg I with hairs modified into spur) that are as long as or shorter than empodial claw on most of legs; two pairs of duplex setae on tarsus I, distal and adjacent; opisthosoma with 11 pairs of dorsal setae (c1-3, d1-2, e1-2, f1-2, h2-3; n.b. setae h2 and h3 usually inserted ventrally); clunal setae h1 always absent.
Taxonomic review of the genus Oligonychus
The genus Oligonychus was erected by Berlese (1886), based on Heteronychus brevipodus Targioni-Tozzetti as the type species (specimen was a nymph), reported from the Holly Oak ( Quercus ilex L., Fagaceae ) in Italy ( Targioni-Tozzetti 1878). Because Berlese (1886) did not clearly describe the presence of proximoventral hairs on the empodial claws in the diagnosis of Oligonychus , Zacher (1913) created a new genus, Paratetranychus , and described the presence of proximoventral hairs in it. McGregor (1950) followed the work of Zacher (1913) by giving priority to Paratetranychus over Oligonychus , and placed all Oligonychus species within Paratetranychus . Five years later, Pritchard and Baker (1955) redefined the genus Oligonychus , and synonymized the genera Paratetranychus and Tacebia ( Yokoyama 1929) with Oligonychus.
