Abstract

Oppiidae (Acari, Oribatida) frorn the Spanish juniper woods. VII. Genera Hypogeoppia, Oppiella and Lauroppia
In this paper, Oribatids of the subfamily Oppiellinae Seniczak, 1975 from the Spanish juniper woods are studied. The genus Hypogeoppia, Subías, 1981 and the subgenera Oppiella s. str. Jacot, 1937 and Oppiella (Perspicuoppia) C. Pérez-Iñigo, 1971 are discussed. The new species Lauroppia tenuipectinata sp. nov. is described, and new contributions and discussion are made about the taxonomy, distribution and biology of the species: Oppiella (s. str.) nova (Oudemans, 1902) (with a list of new synonyms) and Oppiella (Perspicuoppia) perspicua (Miheltit, 1956), and of the subspecies: Hypogeoppia terricola s. str. Subías, 1981 and Hypogeoppia terricola salrnanticensis Morell (1987) stat. nov. Also the new name of Moritzoppia nom. nov. is given for Moritziella Balogh, 1983, nom. praeoc. by Moritziella Borner, 1908 (Hemiptera).
