Length of idiosoma 800-910 µm, width 670-710 µm (n =7). Shape of idiosoma oval.</p><p>Dorsal aspect of idiosoma (Fig. 1): Marginal and dorsal shields fused anteriorly.All dorsal setae smooth and needle-like (c. 35-40 µm), except two pairs near caudal margin, which are pennate (Fig. 2).

Surface of sternal shield mostly smooth, but several oval pits and sensory organs present on area of coxae III and IV (Fig. 4). Ventral shield without sculptural pattern, all ventral setae smooth and needle-like (c. 40 µm). Several setae on central area associated with short sensory hairs (Fig. 6).Adanal setae smooth and needle-like, ad1 (c. 35 µm) shorter than ad2 (c. 40 µm), postanal seta absent.

Unknown.</p><p>Etymology. The name of the new species refers to the pilose setae on caudal area of dorsal shield.</p><p>Remarks. The new species belongs to the Uroobooella oinicolora -group (Hirschmann 1989) on the basis of the presence of seven pairs of sternal setae in the females. Currently the group consists of nine species, but two species are known only as deutonymph ( U. aeichmanni (Vitzthum, 1923) and U. michiganensis (Vitzthum, 1926), hence they cannot be compared to the new species. The marginal shield reduced on the caudal region of the body in U. neoamericana Hirschmann, 1972, U. feideri Hutu, 1976 and U. erlangensis Hirschmann &amp; Zirngiebl-Nicol, 1962 . In contrary the new as well as the rest of the known species have a single marginal shield on the caudal region. The new species has a smooth ventral shield, which is covered by reticulate pattern in U. oinicolora (Vitzthum, 1926) and U. baloghi Hirschmann &amp; Zirngiebl-Nicol, 1962 . The last two known species ( U. rubra Athias-Binche, 1983 and U. bistellaris (Vitzthum, 1935) with smooth ventral shield have hook-like peritremes (which is 7-shaped in the new one) and they bear smooth caudal setae on the dorsal shield, but these setae are pilose in the new one.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A587CDFFA7406FFD6B8CDB2C1DF9F5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Following Hirschmann’ s (Wišniewski &amp; Hirschmann 1993) subgeneric system, this species with the perigenital line on basal margin of genital shield of female belongs to the Oplitis nitida -group. Two species are known from this group, the first one is described from Borneo ( O. mollis Hiramatsu, 1983), this species has reticulate sculptural pattern on dorsal shield, this pattern is missing on the dorsal shield of the second known and the new species. The other one is known from Australia [ O. nitida (Womersley, 1959)], the latter species is similar to the new species, but the new species is bearing 14 pairs of ventral setae (10-11 pairs ventral setae in O. nitida) and the anterior part of the peritremal hook shorter in the new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A587CDFFA3406AFF648C3D2E9EF9FE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

I dedicate the new species to Stephen Thorpe, who collected several very attractive Uropodina mites and he is doing an excellent work on the Uropodina mites of the Wikispecies.</p><p>Remarks. Uropoda species with the presence of the highly domed dorsal shield with transversal furrow are discussed as Uropoda gibba -group in Hirschmann’ s system (Wišniewski &amp; Hirschmann 1993). The new species can be distinguished from the similar species with the same dorsal characters on the basis of the smooth internal malae (pilose in the known species) and the presence of a marginal shield (reduced in the known species). So far eight species are known from this group occurring in Japan, New Guinea and Vietnam (Wišniewski &amp; Hirschmann 1993), I suppose the similarity of dorsal characters are caused by convergent evolution.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A587CDFFA14064FD498C7A2EE9FA58	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
