Oribatids from Brunei III (Acari: Oribatida). (Acarologica Genavensia XCI)

Abstract

Thirty oribatid species are listed from Brunei; fourteen are new to science. Four new genera are established, one of them (Luxtonia gen. n.) also represents a new family (Luxtoniidae fam. n.) in the superfamily Oppioidea and the other three (Bruneibelba gen. n., Coartobelba gen. n., Condylobelba gen. n.) belong to the family Suctobelbidae. From the following genera new species are described: Teraja (1 sp. n.), Eremobelba (1 sp. n.), Luxtonia (1 sp. n.), Arcoppia (1 sp. n.), Corynoppia (1 sp. n.), Karenella (1 sp. n.), Ptiloppia (1 sp. n.), Senectoppia (1 sp. n.), Brunei-belba (2 spp. n.), Coartobelba (1 sp. n.), Condylobelba (3 spp. n.). A new combination is proposed: Coartobelba campestris (Balogh & Mahunka) comb. n. = Suctobelba campestris Balogh & Mahunka, 1981.
