Etymology
Etymology. The new species is named after Reinhard Gerecke (Tübingen), a respected acarologist who revised the Western Palearctic Atractides species.
Discussion
Remarks. Due to shape of the P– 2 with strongly convex ventral surface, covered by fine denticulation, Atractides reinhardi n. sp. resembles A. denticulatus (Walter, 1947). The latter species belongs to the ‘cisternarum’ group of species and differs in having the muscle attachments, I–L– 5 with S– 1 and S– 2 similar in shape, narrow interspace, sclerotized excretory pore, short male gonopore restricted to the anterior part of the genital field, and P– 4 with sword seta near proximoventral seta (Gerecke 2003).
