Abstract
A new arboreal species of oribatid mite, Fissicepheus curvisetosus sp. nov., was collected from Quercus gilva growing in Ehime Prefecture, West Japan. The new species is readily distinguishable from the two known species of the genus Fissicepheus with 14 pairs of notogastral setae mainly by 1) median prodorsal condyle broad and tuberculated; 2) most foveolae of notogaster and ventral plate covered each by a large granule; 3) notogastral setae long and curved.
