A new species of oribatid mite of the genus Dolicheremaeus (Otocepheidae) from Tokyo

Abstract

A new species of oribatid mite, Dolicheremaeus ohmensis sp. nov., was described from Ohme in the western forest area of Tokyo. The new species is distinguishable from the known species of the genus Dolicheremaeus by the lack of median notogastral condyles, the short sensilli with a strongly swollen head and the notogaster with short and long setae.
