Reviewer 2 Report
My comments concern paper „Review on the genus Stylophoronychus (Acari: Tetranychidae), with description of a new species of Pan et al.”.
It is a very careful, laborious and important paper and in my opinion should be published in Insects.
We get a lot of interesting information in taxonomic discussion about the species of the genus Stylophoronychus and redescription of one species and description of one species.
My only comments: My comments concern paper „Review on the genus Stylophoronychus (Acari: Tetranychidae),It is worth specifying in the paper from which geographical region the palaearctic or oriental come the discussed species, including new sp. In the “Introduction”, it would be better to use the zoogeographical term instead of Asia. What does "small genus" mean in “Summary” ? Wouldn't body height be important in redescription and description besides length and width ?
