Abstract

The sand-mite genus Xinjiangsha Wen et Shao, 1984 is closely related to the genera Neotrombicula, Miyatrombicula and Aboriginesia. The genus Xinjiangsha is characterized by a pair of scuto-ocular setae inserted in between the pentagonal scutum and ocular platelets, second row of the sternal setae being four, coxa III with two setae and the lateral margins and PL angles of scutum finely pleated. The genus is revised to include three species, X. scutocularis, X. armata comb. n., and X. tokobajevi comb. n., the last two of which are transferred from the genus Aboriginesia.
