A New Species

A new species of oribatid mites (Oribatida) phoretic on the beetle, Macrolinus batesi (Coleoptera, Passalidae) is described from Sumatra, Indonesia. Graptoppia (Stenoppia) royi sp. nov. (Oppiidae) differs from G. (S.) italica by the smaller body size, the presence of thin transcostula and the absence of costulae. Data on oribatids phoretic on passalid beetles are summarized; nine identified oribatid species (from 19 beetle species) are listed.

A New Species

A new species and three new records of oribatid mites collected from soil/litter samples of Malappuram Dt. of Kerala, South India, are studied. Indoribates (Indoribates) irumbuzhiensis sp. nov. shares some morphological similarities with I. (I.) hauseri (Mahunka, 1997) and I.(I.) crassisetiger (Fukuyama & Aoki, 2000) described from Borneo and China respectively. However, the larger body size, smooth rostral setae, straight interlamellar setae, long and smooth notogastral setae, barbed/ciliate nature of genital setae, g4 and g5, distally pointed anal and adanal setae, and presence of basiventral tooth on tibia I and II keep its identity separate from the above two species. Identification key to all known species of subgenus Indoribates (Indoribates) is provided. The paper also include three new records of oribatid mites from India viz. Gibbicepheus (Gibbicepheus) kanekoi (Aoki 1958), Yoshiobodes (Yoshiobodes) camerunensis Fernández, Theron, Leiva & Tiedt.,2017 and Eupelops intermedius (Hammer, 1979), of which, Y. (Y) camerunensis is new record for the Oriental Region and first record of the genus from India.

Diagnostic Traits

A new species of the genus Meristolohmannia (Oribatida: Lohmanniidae) is described from litter of a secondary forest in Macao of southern China; M. macaoensis Ermilov sp. nov. differs from M. abbreviata Chen, Yang & Xie, 2010 by the comparatively longer rostral setae than the lamellar, interlamellar and posterior exobothridial setae, bothridial setae with well-developed branches, reticulate notogaster surface, number and morphology of subcapitular setae, nine pairs of genital setae and the smaller body size. An identification key to the known species of Meristolohmannia is provided. Lohmannia (Lohmannia) corallium Nakatamari, 1982 is recorded in the Oriental region for the first time; its supplementary description is provided based on material from China, and the revised diagnostic traits for this species are also proposed.
