Abstract
The description is given of a new genus and species of the tetranychid mite - Tauriobia insueta Liv. et Mitr., gen. nov., sp. nov. found in Crimea on Cistus tauricus Presl. The mite being characterized by an enriched chaetom. It should be also men­tioned that the number of coxal setae (11+9+9+9) is not observed in other known species of tetranychids mites. In Tetranychidae this number is equal to 2+2+1+1 setae in Bryobiidae to 1+1+1+1, 2+1+1+1 or 3+3+1+1. By the structure of appen­dages of tarsus I-IV, number and position of dorsal setae the genus under description is close to the genus Petrobia Murray, 1887 (Reck, 19.59) and Aplonobia Womersley, 1940 (Pritchard and Baker, 1955).
