Revision of the family Carabodidae (Acari, Oribatida) XII. Yoshiobodes camerunensis sp. n. and Rugocepheus costaricensis sp. n.
Yoshiobodes camerunensis sp. n., collected in Cameroon, is the first species of this genus reported from the Afrotropical region. Diagnostic characters include lamellae terminating in a bridge and not in lamellar tips; cup-shaped bothridia, bothridial ring present; rostral setae cochleariform, smooth; lamellar setae slightly lanceolate, barbate; fifteen pairs of notogastral setae; c3 lanceolate, rounded end, with longitudinal shallow grooves; other notogastral setae curved lanceolate-cochleariform. Rugocepheus costaricensis sp. n. is the third species of the genus to be described, and the first collected outside the African region. Prodorsum presents a Y-shaped structure; elevated interlamellar process, superior flat zone; lamellae lacking lamellar tips; fourteen pairs of notogastral setae; four notogastral furrows, and an unpaired elevated central area devoid of setae. Both species are described and illustrated based on adult specimens, studied by means of optical and SEM microscopy.
