| abstract | In the region of the Barun Glacier, in the vicinity of the Makalu Mountainin the Great Himalaya (Nepal) two mite species of the family Myobiidae, Protomyobia kounickyi sp. n.and Radfordia lemnina (C. L. Koch, 1841) were found on Soriculus caudatus soluensis (Gruber) and Alticolaroylei (Gray) respectively at high altitudes (3450--4900 m). A single specimen of the latter speciesslightly differs from specimens from the typical host, Clethrionomys glareolus (Schreber), in a greaterlength of l4 and d5 and in the form of coxal setae I, but it is not regarded as a different taxon. |
