Abstract

Three new species of oribatid mites of the superfamily Galumnoidea, Pilizetes anufrievi sp. nov., Taeniogalumna behanae sp. nov., Galumnella baleensis sp. nov., are described from Bale Mountains National Park (African region, Ethiopia). Keys to closely related species of these genera are presented.
