Abstract

This study is based on oribatid mite materials collected from leaf litter in secondary semi-evergreen tropical forests in Mexico; 85 species from 64 genera and 37 families are found; of these, 15 species are recorded for the first time in Mexico, and three species are recorded for the first time in the Neotropical region. A new species of the genus Mucrobates (Scheloribatidae) – Mucrobates solidarensis sp. n. – is described. An identification key to the known representatives of Mucrobates is presented.
