Diagnosis
Two-pointed gnathotectum; dendritic processes lateral of tritosternum; presence of seta pv3 on tarsus IV. The latter is an unique character for Mesostigmata .
Based on these characters, nine species of Sejus are transferred to the genus Epicroseius . The following new combinations are proposed: E. klakahensis (Hirschmann, 1991) n. comb.; E. marquesanus (Hirschmann, 1991) n. comb.; E. tanganicus ( Hirschmann and Kaczmarek, 1991) n. comb.; E. indicus ( Hirschmann and Kaczmarek, 1991) n. comb.; E. javensis ( Hirschmann and Kaczmarek, 1991) n. comb.; E. oblitus (Hirschmann, 1991) n. comb.; E. savannakhetianus ( Hirschmann and Kaczmarek, 1991) n. comb.; E. vitzthumiangelioides (Hirschmann, 1991) n. comb.; E. vitzthumiseurati (Hirschmann, 1991) n. comb.
Other species included
Epicroseius angelioides , type species; E. seioides Berlese, 1910 ; E. seurati Berlese, 1918 ; E. scutatus Berlese, 1923 ; E. zimmermani ; E. porosus ; E. abinashi ; and n. sp. 5.
Remarks
Validity of several of these species is unclear since they were described from single specimens in poor condition. These include: Epicroseius klakahensis , E. marquesanus , E. vitzthumiangelioide s, E. vizthumiseurati , E. oblitus , and E. javensis .
