摘要
Two new species of oribatid mites (Oribatida) of the family Damaeidae are described, based on adults collected from litter in the wet highland locality in Bale Mountains National Park, southeastern Ethiopia. Coronabelba adiscidialis Ermilov & Kolesnikov sp. nov. differs from the other species of the genus by larger body size, long, rod-like bothridial seta, truncated interlamellar seta, the location of dorsal notogastral setae on the slightly developed tubercles, the presence of 10 setae on leg femur I, and the absence of discidium. Metabelbella baleensis Ermilov & Kolesnikov sp. nov. differs from the other species of the genus by the larger body size, comparatively large tubercle-like parastigmatic tubercle Sa shifted in the epimeral region, and the presence of long, straight thorn-like dorsal notogastral setae. Identification keys to the known species of Coronabelba and Metabelbella are provided.
