Introduction

The family Oribatulidae is large, with 47 genera and about 300 species world-wide (Schatz et al. 2009). Colloff & Halliday (1998) placed some Australian genera in the family Crassoribatulidae, but those genera are here included in the Oribatulidae. The classification of these and some other related genera is still somewhat unstable (Norton & Behan-Pelletier 2009). The family is cosmopolitan, but appears to be most diverse in the Neotropical Region. The Australian fauna includes nine genera and 20 species, including four genera that are known only from unidentified species. Unidentified species have also been recorded in some of the other genera, and unidentified Oribatulidae were also reported by Heatwole et al. (1981), Stone & Simpson (1990), O'Dowd et al. (1991), Proctor et al (2002), Callan et al. (2011), Osler & Murphy (2005), Beyer et al. (2011), Majer et al. (2013) and Walter & Stirling (2018).

Introduction

In addition to the named species listed here, unidentified species of Paraphauloppia have been reported from Australia by Moulton (1982), Lee (1986), Walter (1999) and provisionally by Proctor et al. (2002). The species that were listed as undescribed by Lee (1986) were later described by Lee & Birchby (1991).
