Abstract

The Addendum (2021–2025) to the Catalogue of oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) from Continental Southeast Asia (CSEA) is based on 48 published papers. It includes 694 species/subspecies, belonging to 229 genera, 83 families, 35 superfamilies, and five infraorders, recorded from Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia. Among these, first records were established for Vietnam (133 species, three subspecies, 19 genera, eight subgenera, and six families), Thailand (26 species, one subspecies, nine genera, two families, and one superfamily), and Cambodia (two species, one genus, and one family). Currently, 984 species/subspecies of oribatid mites, representing 342 genera, 103 families, 37 superfamilies, and five infraorders of the Suborder Oribatida, are known in the CSEA. Given that oribatid mites in the region remain poorly studied (particularly in Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Thailand), a significant increase in the number of taxa is expected in the future.
