Abstract

A specimen of the oribatid mite, Gustavia aominensis Fujikawa, 2008, was isolated from litter and soil samples of Sasa borealis at Cheongok Mountain Natural Recreation Forest in Bonghwa, Gyeongbuk, Korea. This is the first record of this species in Korea. We provide detailed illustrations of the diagnostic features of this species relative to the original description as well as a key for Korean Gustavia species along with illustrations.
