Novazelandiella gen. n. (Acari, Oribatei, Hammeriellidae), a new genus of mites from New Zealand
A new genus Novazelandiella (Acari, Oribatei, Hammeriellidae) is described. The type species, Pedrocortesella nigroclava Hammer, 1966, New Zealand, is redescribed from the holotype (Zoologisk Museum, Denmark) and from six specimens (Acarology Laboratory, USA) identified as being co-specific with the type material, after being confronted with it. Up to the present time, the new genus is monotypic and restricted to New Zealand, being close to the South American genus Hammeriella Paschoal.
