Li, De-Wei, Wang, Guo-Quan & Wei, Sui-Gai, 2007, A new genus and three new species of Phyllocoptinae (Acari: Eriophyidae) from South China, Zootaxa 1587, pp. 53-59 : 54

Calpentaconvexus n. gen.

Body spindleform; dorsal pedipalp genual setae (antapical seta) bifurcate; prodorsal shield with frontal lobe, scapular tubercles ahead of rear margin, scapular setae (sc) directed postero-laterally; coxae with sternal line, coxisternum setae 3 pairs, legs ІІ antaxial genual setae (l'') absent; tarsal empodium divided; dorsal opisthosoma middorsal ridge ending in a broad furrow before the termination of subdorsal ridges; dorsal annuli broader than ventral annuli; opisthosoma with all usual setae.

Type species: Calpentaconvexus eyrei n. sp.

Note: The new taxon is assigned to Acaricalini , Phyllocoptainae, Eriophyidae, Eriophyoidea. The new genus is similar to Pentaconvexus Huang 2001 , but can be differentiated by coxae with sternal line, legs ІІ antaxial genual setae (l'') absent, dorsal opisthosoma middorsal ridge ending in a broad furrow before the termination of subdorsal ridges.

Etymology: The genus name is a combination of Cal - and the generic name Pentaconvexus Huang 2001 , to which the new genus is similar.
