Ermilov, Sergey G. | Friedrich, Stefan
Two new species of oribatid mites of the genus Protoribates (Oribatida, Haplozetidae) are described based on adult specimens from upper soil and leaf litter in a primary evergreen lowland rainforest in Amazonian Peru. Protoribates curvicarinatus sp. nov . is morphologically most similar to P. antillensis Mahunka, 1985, but differs by the morphology of bothridial setae and length of interlamellar setae and lamellae. Protoribates paraecuadoriensis sp. nov . is morphologically most similar to P. ecuadoriensis Ermilov, Bayartogtokh, Sandmann, Marian and Maraun, 2013 from Ecuador, but differs by the morphology of tarsi I and II and localization of lamellar setae. Three species of Oripodoidea – Unguizetes incertus (Balogh and Mahunka, 1969), Perscheloribates rostratus (Hammer, 1958) and Benoibates borhidii Balogh and Mahunka, 1980 – are recorded in Peru for the first time.
