Type: article

Abstract: A new species of oribatid mites of the subgenus Neoribates (Neoribates) (Oribatida, Parakalummidae) is described from the litter of Changbai Mountain in northeastern China. Neoribates (Neoribates) subiasi sp. nov. differs from its congeners by the combination of the morphological traits, e.g. smooth body surface, short bothridial setae with oval-shaped head, rostrum narrowly rounded in dorsal view, 11 pairs of notogastral setae, five pairs of genital setae, and setae ad3 inserted laterally and distanced from anal aperture. A key to all known species of Neoribates in China is provided.
