title: A New Species of Austrocarabodes (Austrocarabodes) from Brazil, Including Keys to Known Species of the Subgenus from the Neotropical Region and to the agressor-Group (Acari: Oribatida: Carabodidae).
abstract: A new species of oribatid mites, Austrocarabodes (Austrocarabodes) brasiliensis Ermilov & Tolstikov n. sp., is described from soil litter of the Atlantic forest of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is most similar morphologically to Austrocarabodes (A.) armatus Mahunka. However, the new species differs from the latter by the morphology of bothridial and adanal setae. Identification keys to known species of Austrocarabodes (Austrocarabodes) from the Neotropical region and the agressor-group are provided.
