Abstract

The oribatid mite genus Dolicheremaeus comprises more than 160 species. We describe a new species, Dolicheremaeus aethiopicus sp. nov., collected in soil from Bale Mountains National Park (African region, Ethiopia). This new species differs from other species by a combination of the length of prodorsal setae; morphology of rostral setae and sensilli; morphology and number of notogastral condyles and the morphology of the notogastral setae; number of epimeral setae; and the morphology of leg setae u.
