Two new species of oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) from Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park of central Vietnam

Two new species of oribatid mites, Austrachipteria phongnhae and Galumna kebangica, have been discovered in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Vietnam. This marks the first record of the genus Austrachipteria in the country. The mites were identified from mosses on trees within the park, highlighting the biodiversity of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The study contributes to the understanding of oribatid mite diversity and distribution in central Vietnam.
