This study is based on oribatid mite materials collected from forest litter in Taiwan. In particular, in the course of our study, we recorded 10 species from 10 genera and eight families. Of these, two species (Scheloribates guhitanus, Setogalumna luzonica) have been recorded for the first time from Taiwan. Additionally, a supplementary description of Pergalumna kunsti is presented based on specimens from Taiwan. An identification key to the known species of Pergalumna from the Oriental region is presented.
We present a revised generic diagnosis of Caucaseremaeus (Oribatida: Eremaeidae). The redescription of Caucaseremaeus krivolutskyi Shtanchaeva and Subías, 2006 is presented, based on the paratype (Armenia) and on the specimens collected from the Republic of Abkhazia. In addition, remarks on the family placement of Caucaseremaeus are provided.
Supplementary description of Ctenobelba (Caucasiobelba) urhani Baran, 2015 is presented, based on adults collected from Georgia. The morphological similarity between Ct. (Ca.) urhani Baran, 2015 and Ct. (Ca.) reticulata Subías and Shtanchaeva, 2010 is discussed.
