dc.description.abstract | Species of the small oribatid mite genus <i>Fortuynia</i> (Ameronothroidea: Fortuyniidae) mostly inhabit marine littoral zones in the tropics and subtropics. In the present paper, we describe 2 new species, <i>Fortuynia taiwanica</i> sp. nov. and <i>F. arabica</i> sp. nov., collected from the marine coastal areas of Taiwan and India, respectively; the descriptions are based on adult and juvenile specimens. A diagnostic key to the adults of known species of <i>Fortuynia</i> in the world is given along with a summary of their geographical distributions. | |
