Abstract

This study is based on the oribatid mite material collected from dry litter in a Shorea dipterocarp forest in the Daklak Province, Southern Vietnam. Fifty-one species, 37 genera and 23 families have been found; of these, five species and two subspecies are recorded from Vietnam for the first time, and two species from the Oriental region for the first time. A new species of the genus Peloribates (Haplozetidae) is described: P. (Peloribates) parapalawanus sp. n. A new generic diagnosis of Peloribates is presented. An identification key to known representatives of Peloribates from Vietnam is provided.
