Hogsbackia africaensis gen. nov., sp. nov. (Acari, Oribatida, Ceratozetoidea, Punctoribatidae), from Afromontane forest of South Africa
A new oribatid mite genus, Hogsbackia gen. nov. (Oribatida, Punctoribatidae), with type species Hogsbackia africaensis sp. nov., is proposed and described from the indigenous Afromontane forest of South Africa. The new genus is closely related to Scotiazetes, from which it is most easily distinguish...
