Abstract

Summary data on oribatid mites of the genus Allonothrus (Trhypochthoniidae) of the Ethiopian region are presented. A new subspecies, Allonothrus schuilingi seychelli nov. subsp., is described from Seychelles. It is distinguished on the basis of the shape and length of the notogastral and ventral setae. An identification key to all known African species of Allonothrus is provided.

Keywords: Africa, new subspecies, Seychelles, Trhypochthoniidae
