| abstract | Lakshadweep is one of the smallest Union Territories of India. The fi rst ever study of soil inhabiting oribatid mites from Lakshadweep revealed 10 species including few interesting ones, of which, one species under the genus Striatoppia Balogh, 1958 is described here as new to science. This genus is reported for the fi rst time from Lakshadweep.
The new species of Striatoppia milii sp. nov. (Acarina: Oribatida) from the soil of Lakshadweep can be distinguished readily from all other known species in its possession of 3-5 pairs of longitudinal striation in notogaster, 2-3 pairs of longitudinal striation in ventral plate, 4 large foveolae in the interbothridial region, etc. |
