| abstract | Three species of prostigmatic mites, Nanorchestes antarcticus, Tydeus erebus and Stereotydeus mollis, and a species of cryptostigmatic mite, Antarcicola meyeri, are recorded from soil from the Prince Charles Mountains, Mac Robertson Land. All have been recorded previously from other Antarctic localities; they are the first invertebrates reported from this mountain range in East Antarctica. Other specimens recorded, but thought to be contaminants, were a single dipteran (Family: Psychodidae), 2 larval exuviae of a dermestid beetle (Antherocerus) and 1 cryptostigmatic mite (Camisia segnis). |
