Keyword(s):
The oribatid mite subgenus Lanceoppia (Bicristoppia) Subías, 1989 (Oribatida: Oppiidae) is recorded in South Africa for the first time. A new species of this subgenus is described from soil of Hogsback State Forest (South Africa). Lanceoppia (Bicristoppia) capensis sp. nov. is similar to L. (B.) cucheana Mahunka, 1994 in having long, clavate bothridial seta with spines apically, but differs from the latter by the presence of broadly rounded rostrum, well developed costula, medium length of interlamellar and notogastral setae, and semi-quadrangular interbothridial tubercle. Summarized data on distribution and habitat of all known species of Lanceoppia (Bicristoppia) are presented.
