Kontschán, J.: Uropodina species from East Africa III. A new genus and five new species of Uropodina (Acari: Mesostigmata) from Shimba Hills (Kenya)

Etymology - This species is named after the region of its origin. Remarks - The shape and size of the idiosoma are different from those of the other species of the genus. The idiosoma is elongate (not oval as in the other species), and the length is 480 to 500 urn, i.e. shorter than in any other species.
