The Ukrainian Uropodina fauna is poorly known. Altogether only 10 genera with 24 species were found
here (Wisniewski, 1993).
The examined material (soil, litter and anthill) was collected in Transcarpathian, Ukraine. Collected
mites were deposited in the Soil Zoology Collections of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest.
Distribution and short redescriptions of species
Polyaspinus schweitzeri (Hutu, 1976)
The species and the genus are new to the fauna of Ukraine. Now, 11 Polyaspinus
species are known in the World, but only 5 species occur in Europe (Masan, Kaluz,
1999). The genus was found in Belgium, Germany, France, UK, Ireland, Austria, Po-
land, Romania, Sweden, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
The P. schweitzeri is known only from Romania, Poland (Wisniewski, 1993) and
Slovakia (Masan, Kaluz, 1999; Masan 2001).
The length of idiosoma is 740–785 mkm (}) and 715–780 mkm ({). The dorsal
shield is divided into pre- and postdorsal shield, between these shields there is 1 pair of
setae on a small platelets (fig. 1). The male operculum is round, placed between the
coxa III and IV (fig. 2).
We found this species together with two other: Trachytes aegrota (C. L. Koch, 1841
and Trichouropoda ovalis (C. L. Koch, 1839).
This species ({) was collected in Sirokij Lug, near the Luzsanka Spring, in a beech
forest, from moss and litter, 22.05.2002 (leg. D. Mura ´́nyi).

Uroobovella obovata (Canestrini & Berlese, 1884)
Two species of the genus Uroobovella Berlese, 1903 are known from Ukraine:
Uroobovella baloghi Hirschmann & Zirngiebl-Nicol, 1962 and O. vinicolora (Vitzhum,
1926) (Wisniewski, 1993).
U. obovata occurs in whole Europe. It lives in anthills, nests of birds and mammals
(Wisniewski, 1993). The length of idiosoma is 570–630 mkm (}) and 600–640 mkm
({). The operculum of female is broad, the peritrema is hook-shaped (fig. 3).
We found this species in a nest of ants (Hymenoptera, Myrmicinae), where it lives
together with Trachyuropoda formicaria (Lubbock, 1881).
The specimens (3 {, 2 }) were collected in Krasznaja, near the Kraszovec Spring,
in a mountain grassland, from a nest of ants, 21.05.2002 (leg. D. Mura ´́nyi).

Trachyuropoda formicaria (Lubbock, 1881)
The genus Trachyuropoda Berlese, 1888 lives only in anthills. T. kiewensis Hirsch-
mann, 1976 was known only from Ukraine (Wisniewski, 1993).
The length of idiosoma of the T. formicaria is 1030–1085 mkm (}) and 1020 mkm
({). Across the dorsal shield there are some 6–8 strong chitin lines (fig. 4) and the dor-
sal setae are strongly serrated (fig. 5).
This species ({) was collected in Krasznaja, near the Kraszovec Spring, in a moun-
tain grassland, from a nest of an ant, 21.05.2002 (leg. D. Mura ´́nyi).
Some other faunistic data on Uropodina from Ukraine
Trachytidae Tra ´gardh, 1938
Trachytes aegrota (C. L. Koch, 1841): Sirokij Lug, near the spring Luzsanka, in a
beech forest, from moss and litter, 22.05.2002 (leg. D. Mura ´́nyi); Ugolyka karst, near
the stream Kraszovec, in a beech forest, from litter, 24.05.2002 (leg. D. Mura ´́nyi). This
species occurs in whole Europe, and is very common in most habitats (Wisniewski,
Hirschmann, 1993).
Trachytes irinae Pecina, 1969: Ugolyka karst, near the stream Kraszovec, in a beech for-
est, from litter, 24.05.2002 (leg. D. Murá́nyi). This species is known from Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Romania, Poland, Austria and Ukraine (Wisniewski, Hirschmann, 1993).
Trematuridae Berlese, 1916
Trichouropoda ovalis (C. L. Koch, 1839): Sirokij Lug, near the spring Luzsanka,
in a beech forest, from moss and litter, 22.05.2002 (leg. D. Mura ´́nyi). This species
occurs in whole Europe, and it is very common in most habitats (Wisniewski, Hirsch-
mann, 1993).
Urodinichidae Berlese, 1917
Urodiaspis tecta (Kramer, 1876): Ugolyka karst, near the stream Kraszovec, in a
beech forest, from litter, 24.05.2002 (leg. D. Mura ´́nyi). This species occurs in whole
Europe, and it is very common in most habitats (Wisniewski, Hirschmann, 1993).
Discussion
Now 27 species (with the three new species) are known from the Ukrainian Uro-
podina fauna. The number of species in the neighbouring European counties (like:
Slovakia, Romania and Hungary) is higher so the number of the Ukrainian Uropodina
species will surely grow.
I am grateful to Dr. Sa ´ndor Mahunka for providing working facilities, and helping with the preparation
techniques. I would like to thank my colleague and friend, Da ´vid Mura ´nyi, for collecting the mites.
