Abstract

The oribatid mite genus Austrotritia Sellnick, 1959 (Oribotritiidae) is reviewed. Two new species, Austrotritia didyma sp. nov. and Austrotritia fissurata sp. nov., and one newly recorded species from China, Austrotritia saraburiensis Aoki, 1965, are identified. A checklist of all known species and key to the Chinese species of Austrotritia are provided.
