Faunistic analysis reveals 48 mite species from Guatemala, suggesting new taxa and regional records.
The present study is based on oribatid mite material collected from four locations in Guatemala. A list of 48 species belonging to 38 genera and 28 families is presented. Of these, 39 species, 26 genera and 13 families are recorded from Guatemala for the first time; and two species, one genus and one family are recorded from the Neotropical region for the first time. In addition, three new species are described: Hermanniella oblonga Ermilov sp. n. (Hermanniellidae), Protoribates silvaticus Ermilov sp. n. (Haplozetidae) and Pergalumna guatemalaensis Ermilov sp. n.
