Abstract
Abstract A new species of carabodid mites, Odontocepheus oglasae, is described from Montecristo island (Tuscan Archipelago) and O. curtiseta Ruiz, Subias and Kahwash, a closely related Spanish taxon, is redescribed in detail. The two Mediterranean species are compared and O. oglasae is found to be clearly distinguishable from the other odontocepheid mites by virtue of its dorsal microsculpture and the length of its sensilli. An identification key for the species of the genus is given.
