Abstract

A new species of Cubabodes (Oribatida, Carabodidae)—C. octosetosus sp. nov.—is described, based on adults collected from leaf litter in the mixed forest in southern Cuba. It differs from all known species of the genus in the morphology of the bothridial seta. The morphology of the gnathosoma and legs as well as the legs setation and solenidia are presented for the first time for Cubabodes. A generic diagnosis is revised. An identification key and data on distribution and habitats of the known species of Cubabodes are provided.
