| abstract | Lakshadweep is one of the smallest Union Territories of India. The first ever study of soil inhabiting oribatid mites from Lakshadweep reveled one new species under the genus Indotritia Jacot, 1929. Only two species of Indotritia were reported so far from India (Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Kashmir). The family and genus are reported here for the fi rst time from Lakshadweep.
The new species Indotritia lakshadweepensis (Acarina: Oribatida) can be distinguished readily from all other known species in its possession of faint, wavy, longitudinal and vertical lineation in the proximal part of notogaster, single solenidia in genu I and absence of any solenidia in genu IV. |
