Abstract

Neomegistus remus sp. nov. (Acari: Mesostigmata: Paramegistidae) is described from two female specimens collected from Lord's Table Mountain in Queensland on the millipede Proporobolus sp. (Spirobolida: Rhinocricidae). This new mite species is the second for the genus, which was previously known from millipedes in South Africa and Madagascar. We also rediagnose Neomegistus and provide a new diagnosis for Ophiomegistus, whose members share many characters in common with Neomegistus. The leg chaetotaxy for the Paramegistidae is also reviewed.
