Abstract

A new oribatid mite genus collected from Cuba – Makaroviella gen. n. (Oribatida, Licnobelbidae), with Makaroviella exigua sp. n. as type species – is proposed and described. It can be distinguished from both known licnobelbid genera (Flabellobelba and Licnobelba) mostly by: the number and the localization of notogastral setae, the localization of rostral setae and adanal setae ad₁, and the absence of lateral enantiophyses. An identification key to the known species of Licnobelbidae is provided.
