INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ACAROLOGY(2024)
Abstract
The present study is based on oribatid mite materials collected from Arsi Mountains National Park, Ethiopia, in 2021. A list of 43 species, belonging to 29 genera and 22 families, is presented; of these, three species (Scutovertex evansi, Scheloribates rugiceps and Pilogalumna arabica) are reported for the first time in the Ethiopian fauna. One new species-Antarctozetes behanpelletierae Ermilov sp. nov. (Punctoribatidae) - is described. An identification key to the known species of Antarctozetes from the Afrotropical region is provided.
