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.
