| abstract | A new oribatid mite, Trimalaconothrus aquatilis sp.n. (Malaconothridae) is described from an aquarium containing Angel Fishes (Pterophyllum altum) in Antwerp. It was mixed with numerous specimens of Trimalaconothrus maniculatus Fain & Lambrechts, 1987 also described from aquariums in Antwerp.
