Figs 5-7. Carabodes wettsteini sp. n. •— 5: body in dorsal view, 6: rostrum, 7: sensillus and humeral region According to my opinion on the basis of the form of the lamellae the new species belongs to the "clypeato/-"-species group. It is well characterised by the unique form of the notogastral setae and by notogastral sculpture. The length of the interlamellar setae distinguish the new species from all related species. Etymology: I dedicate the new species to Dr. C. Bader, one of the greatest hydracarologist, and we also thank his valuable help during in our studies in Basel on the Swiss oribatids. Carabodes wettsteini sp. n. (Figs 5-7) Measurements — Length of body: 619 pm, width of body: 396 pm. Integument: whole body surface covered by thin cerotegument layer Prodorsum: Rostrum widely rounded with some small tubercles, two larger tubercles also present laterally, on which simple, setiform rostral setae are inserted thin. Lamellar cusps also rounded, wide, phylliform lamellar setae arise on their surface laterally. Basal part of the interlamellar region well framed by a strong transversal band, excavate, with two pairs of large spots. Median part of the interlamellar region pustulate, slightly rising between the lamellae. Interlamellar setae straight, directed laterally, slightly dilated and spiculate. Sensillus long, its peduncle conspicuously thin, long, its head lanceolate with some strong spines and spicules on its distal part.
