| abstract | The present study is based on the oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) phoretic on passalid beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea, Passalidae) from the Afrotropical and Oriental regions. Nine identified mite species (phoretic on ten beetle species) are registered; of these, three species (from Congo, Gabon and Ghana) are new to science: Graptoppia (Stenoppia) boucheri sp. nov. (Oppiidae), Perscheloribates (Perscheloribates) gabonensis sp. nov. (Scheloribatidae) and Vilhenabates paraambohitra sp. nov. (Haplozetidae). An identification key to the known species of Graptoppia (Stenoppia) is given. Data on the registered phoretic relationships between Oribatida and Passalidae are summarized. |
