Biology:Maudheimia
From HandWiki
Maudheimia is a genus of oribatid mite, the only one in the family Maudheimiidae. All species within this genus are native to continental Antarctica.[1][2] Adults generally measure around 0.6–0.7 mm in length with a lightly hardened exoskeleton compared to many other oribatid mites.[3] They occupy ice-free areas, called nunataks, in continental Antarctica, typically found under stones, in thin soils, and among moss or lichen patches.[4]
The following species are recognized in this genus:[5]
- Dalenius, 1958 Wallwork, 1962
- Maudheimia tanngardenensis Maudheimia petronia
- Coetzee, 1997 Maudheimia wilsoni
