| abstract | A new mite species from Vietnam, Neocunaxoides tropicus sp. n. (Acari: Prostigmata, Cunaxidae) is described and figured; it differs from related species Neocunaxoides grandis Corpuz-Raros, 1996 by the elongate basal subcapitular polygonal pattern, four pairs of sts on striated integument between sternal shields and genito-anal region, and from the other similar species Neocunaxoides ornatus Corpuz-Raros & Gruèzo, 2007 by the absence of foveolae on dorsal shield, and by different setation on genua and tibiae I–IV. A key to females of the known Neocunaxoides is provided. |
