Abstract


A new species of oribatid mite (Acari, Oribatei) belonging to the family Ctenacaridae (Cohors Palaeosomata) is described; this species was recorded several times in Spain as Beklemishevia galeodula Zachvatkin, 1945. The new species is easily distinguishable from the mentioned one because of the presence of three claws in every leg, a noticeable pigidial neotrichy and the absence of short, almost spiniform, setae on the pygidium.
