Oribatid Mites of the Family Otocepheidae from Tian-mu Mountain in China (: O

Abstract

As members of the Sino-Japanese cooperative work on soil animals the authors collected three species of oribatids belonging to the family Otocepheidae at Tian-mu Mountain in Zhejiang Province. Of these, two species identified with Dolicheremaeus infrequens hachijoensis Aoki, 1967, and Trichocepheus erabuensis Aoki, 1965, have hitherto been known only from the subtropical regions of Japan, and the remaining one seems to be a new species of the genus Dolicheremaeus. © 1993, Arachnological Society of Japan.
