03E6041A1F4DFFA0DCB5FBB07BE3F934.taxon	discussion	Remarks. On the basis of the form of lamellae, rostrum and sensilli, the new genus seems to be related to the genus Hymenozetes BALOGH, 1962. However, the position and length of the lamlellarand interlamellarsetae and the neotrichy in the epimeral region (an unique feature in this family) distinguish it from all heretofore known genera in the family.	en	Mahunka, S.

Rostrum very wide, with slightly protruding rostral apex and two longer horn-shaped formations. Interlamellar setae short, arising on the median border of the lamellae. Sensillus unilaterally spinose. Two transverse apodemes present: ap. sej. and ap. 4, sternal apodeme absent. Epimeral setal formula 4 (5) – 3 – 3 – 3. Anogenital setal formula typical for the genus. Measurements – Length of body: 335 (with lamellae 383) µm, width of body: 238 µm. Prodorsum: Lamellae very large, covering the whole prodorsum, excepting a smaller basal, a median, and the rostral part (Fig. 1); they touch medially and are connected by a narrow translamellar band. Cusps are wide, approaching each other. Lamellar surface rugose laterally, dentate distally (Fig. 4). Anterior part of prodorsum very wide, its median apex low, triangular, well visible in a hollow composed by lamellar cusps. Rostral setae bulbiform basally, with long cilia, their distal part long, filiform. Lamellar setae arising on the bottom surface of the lamellae, spiniform, not reaching the lamellar apex. Interlamellar setae very short, fine, arising on the inner margin of the basal part of the lamellae. Bothridium normal, cup-shaped; sensillus long, setiform, directed laterally and posteriorly, its distal end strongly curved and its margin unilaterally spinose, the spines dense basally, rarer distally. Notogaster: Dorsosejugal part normal, without any indentation. Pteromorphae small, triangular, with short lateral spur. Their surface well rugose. Nine pairs of short, fine but well observable notogastral setae present. Lateral view of podorsum: Rostral apex beak-shaped in lateral view. Lamellae widening anteriorly. Tutorium very large, with spiniform triangular anterior apex and a large, also sharply pointed median part (Fig. 4). Pedotectum I very large, its surface well rugose. Circumpedal carina not reaching the lateral margin of the ventral plate. Ventral parts (Fig. 2): Apodemes, except the sternal one, well observable, both pairs (ap. sej. and ap. IV) compose transverse bands. Epimeral surface without distinguishable pattern. Epimeral neotrichous setal formula: 4 (5) – 3 – 3 – 3 (Fig. 3). Setae on the 1 st and 2 nd epimeres are shorter than the same on the posterior ones. All setae finely pilose. Anogenital setal formula: 6 – 1 – 2 – 3. Anterior setae on the genital plates only slightly longer than the others. Aggenital, anal and adanal setae short, simple. Legs: All legs monodactylous. Material examined: Holotype: Kenya, Shimba Hills National Park, near the Lodge. 10 March, 2001. From litter and soil of montane rainforest. Leg. S. MAHUNKA and L. MAHUNKA- PAPP. Holotype (1662 - HO- 02) deposited in Soil Zoological Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Remarks: See the remarks after the generic diagnosis. Derivatio nominis: The new species is named after the epimeral neotrichy.	en	Mahunka, S. (2003): Baloghoizetes Gen. N. And Two New Species From Kenya (Acari: Oribatida).

03E6041A1F48FFA7DCADFE3778D8FD54.taxon	description	(Figs 5 – 8) Diagnosis: Lamellae and sublamellae well developed, prelamella hardly visible. All prodorsal setae setiform, ciliate, exobothridial ones conspicuously long and strong. Sensillus setiform, with strong, nearly spiniform cilia. Pteromorphae long. Ten pairs of minute notogastral setae present. Apodemes weakly developed. Six, often 5 setae on each genital plate. Three pairs of aggenital setae. Setae ad 3 originating in preanal position, very near the anterior margin. Tridactylous. Measurements – Length of body: 520 – 556 µm, width of body: 277 – 297 µm. Prodorsum: Rostral apex slightly elongated, rounded at tip. Lamellae well developed, with dilated basal part, reaching the insertion of lamellar setae (Fig. 5). Lamellar apices curved inwards, a thinner line running from there, bordering the alveoli of the lamellar setae. Prelamellae very weak, hardly observable, reaching to the rostral setae. All prodorsal setae setiform, well ciliate. Rostral setae shorter than the others, setae ex and le nearly equal in length, in longer. Bothridium characteristrically developed, its hind part (svl) very large, rounded (Fig. 8). Sensillus setiform, characteristically bent backwards, cilia strong, becoming dense distally. Notogaster: Elongate, narrowing behind the posterior part of the pteromorphae. Ten pairs of minute and fine notogastral setae, sometimes only their alveoli visible. Four pairs of sacculi present, all oval, simple. Lateral view of podorsum: Sublamella strong, but not reaching the bothridium (Fig. 7). Prelamella hardly visible. Ventral parts (Fig. 6): Apodemes weakly developed, sternal one reduced, only a short part of it visible. Epimeral setae short and simple, all ciliate; formula: 3 – 1 – 3 – 3. Discidium present, its anterior part curved outwards to pedotecta 2 – 3, custodium absent. Anogenital setal formula: 5 (6) – 3 – 2 – 3. Both examined exemplars have 5 and 6 setae on the different genital plates. Three pairs of very short aggenital setae in characteristic, longitudinally converging rows. Posterior two pairs of adanal setae long and strong, mostly straight, setae ad 3 short, curved, arising very near the anterior corner of the anal aperture. All setae ciliate. Legs: All legs hetero-tridactylous. Material examined: Holotype: Kenya, Shimba Hills National Park, near to the Lodge. 10 March, 2001. From litter and soil of montane rainforest. Leg. S. MAHUNKA and L. MAHUNKA- PAPP. Two paratypes from the same sample. Holotype (1663 - HO- 02) and 1 paratype deposited in Soil Zoological Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, 1 paratype in the Museum d’histoire naturelle, Geneva. Remarks: The new taxon, as indicated in the introduction, cannot be unequivocally relegated into any known genus. Furthermore, separation of the genera in this group of Oripodoidea based on only a few features, thus, the whole system is rather uncertain. Thus, the new species is provisionally relegated, based on its numberof aggenital setae, to the genus Pilobatella BALOGH et MAHUNKA, 1969. On the other hand, the number of claws of the new species does not correspond with that of the other Pilobatella species. A characteristic feature of species of this genus is the shape of the sensillus. Accordingly, the new species is similar to P. schauenbergi MAHUNKA, 1977 and P. berlesei BHATTACHARYA et BANERJE, 1980, though the latter two species have expressed dorsal and ventral sculpture, while these surfaces of the new species are smooth. Derivatio nominis: The new species is named in honour of Prof. J. BALOGH the renown oribatidologist.	en	Mahunka, S. (2003): Baloghoizetes Gen. N. And Two New Species From Kenya (Acari: Oribatida).
