Mahunka, S.: Some oribatid mites from Yemen (Acari: Oribatida) (Acarologica Genavensia LXXXVIII)

Remarks - On the basis of the habitus, the number and form of the notogastral setae, the new species well ranged into the genus Austrocarabodes HAMMER, 1966 (see MAHUNKA 1986). It is well distinguishable from all known species by the extremely wide habitus, by the form of the sensilli and especially by the smooth fields around the insertions of notogastral setae. Etymology - It is named after the notogastral sculpture. Figs 1-6. Austrocarabodes latissimus sp. n.: 1 = body in dorsal aspect, 2 = body in ventral aspect, 3 = sensillus, 4 = notogastral seta, 5 = rostral part of prodorsum in frontal aspect, 6 = rostral setae
