Abstract


A new oribatid mite species of the family Oppiidae –Separatoppia indica n. sp.– is described from India. This species is morphologically most similar to Separatoppia concava Ermilov & Rybalov, 2013 (Ethiopia), but differs from the latter by length of interlamellar and notogastral setae and development of humeral processes. The genus Separatoppia Mahunka, 1983 is recorded for the first time from India and the Oriental region.
