摘 要:
A new mite species of the genus Pseudotocepheus (Oribatida, Otocepheidae), collected from the bark of Dip-terocarpus alatus in the Cat Tien National Park, southern Vietnam, is described. Pseudotocepheus cattienensis sp. n. differs from P. setiger in a smaller body size, a fusiform bothridial seta, two pairs of medial prodorsal condyles, poorly developed medial notogastral condyles, the lamellar seta being distinctly removed from the bothridium, a tuberculate posterior part of the notogaster, and a setiform seta d on leg femora I and II. In addition, an identification key to the species of Pseudotocepheus from the Oriental Region is given.
