Abstract
In this study, a new species, Austrophthiracarus parabah sp. n., from New Zealand, is illustrated and described. Some new data, new sites and notes are provided for the species Microtritia novazealandiensisNiedbała, 2006 and Oribotritia parachichijimensis Niedbała & Penttinen, 2007. A key to known species of Oribotritia from the Australasian Region is provided to facilitate the further study on this group.
