Goeldichironomus pampeanus n. sp. is described and figured as male, pupa and larva based on reared specimens from Buenos Aires province in Argentina. The species can be separated from its congeners on the combination of the following characters: male without dark markings on thorax and an evenly curved superior volsella projecting mesad; pupa with extensive shagreen on tergites IIVI, sternites with fine shagreen only without transverse bands of points, dorsal setae on tergite IX extending beyond anal lobe and basal ring of thoracic horn kidney-shaped; larva with bifid premandible, mentum with 6 pairs of lateral teeth, anterior pair of ventral tubules simple, labral sclerite 1 intact and labral sclerite 2 consolidated on the inner side.

Fossils provide insights into how organs may have diversified over geological time. However, diversification already accomplished early in evolution can obscure ancestral events leading to it. For example, already by the mid-Cambrian period, euarthropods had condensed brains typifying modern mandibulate lineages.

Mouthparts of Leptotrombidium larvae (Acariformes: Trombiculidae), potential vectors of tsutsugamushi disease agents, were studied in detail using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The mouthparts incorporated within the pseudotagma gnathosoma are composed of the infracapitulum ventrally and the chelicerae dorsally. The ventral wall of the infracapitulum is formed by a wide mentum posteriorly and a narrowed malapophysis anteriorly.
