Abstract

A new mite species of the genus Pseudotocepheus (Oribatida, Otocepheidae), collected from the bark of Dipterocarpus alatus in the Cat Tien National Park, southern Vietnam, is described. Pseudotocepheus cattienensis sp. n. differs from P. setiger in a smaller body size, a fusiform bothridial seta, two pairs of medial prodorsal condyles, poorly developed medial notogastral condyles, the lamellar seta being distinctly removed from the bothridium, a tuberculate posterior part of the notogaster, and a setiform seta d on leg femora I and II. In addition, an identification key to the species of Pseudotocepheus from the Oriental Region is given.
