FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK XLVI. 1 1985 p. 73-113 Oribatids from Africa (Acari: Oribatida) II. S. MAHUNKA (Received December 18, 1984) Abstract: Twenty-three new Oribatid species are described from soil samples collected in the Republic of South Africa. Two of them also represent new genera: Austroceratobates gen. n.

f Paraphysobates gen. n. An identification key for the South African Oppiida species is compiled. The first part of my planned series of papers to appear in Acta Zoologica Hungarica was divided owing to some technical problems. In order to gain time I thought better to publish the second part in the present journal. Furthermore, I think it advisable to repeat the list of locality data here, while under the heading "Material examined" in the description of the species I give the reference numbers only. The types are deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (HNHM) and the Museum d'Histoire naturelle, Genève (MHNG). List of localities S.-Afr. 1. - Rep.
