Contribution to the knowledge of the oribatid mite genus Gymnobodes (Acari, Oribatida, Carabodidae), with description of a new species from Mexico
Abstract
A new species of Gymnobodes (Oribatida, Carabodidae) – G. paraminimus sp. n. – is described from leaf litter of secondary semi-evergreen tropical forest in Mexico. A revised generic diagnosis, identification key and data on distribution and habitats of representatives of the genus are presented.
