Abstract
In the course of study on the species diversity and ecology of oribatid mites of Mongolia one interesting species belonging to the genus Peloribates was found and is described here as new to science. The new species, Peloribates angulatus differs from the closely related species by the relatively long and narrow head of sensillus, the different number of genital setae; the presence of distinct angular projection on the lateral margins of ventral plate, the presence of network consisting numerous striations and muscle sigillae on the anterolateral part of notogaster, the different arrangement of notogastral setae and the larger body size.
Highlights
This work is part of a continuing study of oribatid mite fauna of Mongolia, and the present paper contains the description of a new species belonging to the genus Peloribates
I describe below a new species from the Northern Mongolia under the name of Peloribates angulatus sp. nov
The new species is distinguishable from P. porosus, described from Peru by the relatively long and narrow head of sensillus; the long interlamellar setae; the relatively wide lamellae; the different arrangement of notogastral setae la, lp and da; the presence of distinct network consisted of numerous striations and muscle sigillae on each anterolateral side of notogaster; the different shape of sacculi; the lacking of transverse ridge between distal end of lamellae; the smoothly rounded shape of ventral keel of femur II; the presence of distinct angular projections on the lateral margins of ventral plate; and the far large body size
Summary
This work is part of a continuing study of oribatid mite fauna of Mongolia, and the present paper contains the description of a new species belonging to the genus Peloribates. Carina circumpedalis well-developed; lateral margins of ventral plate with a distinct angular projection (like teeth) on its each side, at the level of aggenital setae (Fig. 2).
