Bark beetles (Scolytinae) are hosts to a broad diversity of mites (Acari), including several genera of Oribatida (Sarcoptiformes). Of these, Paraleius (Scheloribatidae) species are the most frequently collected oribatid mites associated with bark beetles. A new species was discovered while surveying the acarofauna of bark beetles in Eastern Canada and is described as Paraleius leahaesp. n. (Ori...

Two new species of the genus Euscheloribates (Oribatida, Scheloribatidae), E. guitingensis n. sp. and magdiwangensis sp., are described from forest leaf litter in Mount Guiting-guiting Natural Park on Sibuyan Island, Philippines. Remarks similarity genera Birobates discussed.

A new species of Scheloribates (Perscheloribates) (Oribatida, Scheloribatidae) – S. (P.) oromiaensis sp. n. is described from mosses on the swamp at top mountain in Arsi Mountains National Park, Ethiopia; differs related ethiopicus by larger body size, rounded rostrum and pedotectum II, absence prolamella, presence aggenital seta. The taxonomic status Perscheloribates discussed, resulting suppo...

A new species of the genus Scheloribates is described from soil in South Africa. (Scheloribates) curviprolamellatus sp. nov. differs all subgenus by thick, specifically curved (concave) prolamella.

The present study is based on oribatid mite materials collected from leaf litter in two forest locations Cuba. A list of 64 species, belonging to 47 genera and 31 families, presented. Of these, one genus species are recorded for the first time Neotropical region; 17 subgenus, six genera, families Two new superfamily Oripodoidea—Lagenobates fossatus Ermilov Kontschán n. sp. (Haplozetidae) Mulier...
