Mahunka, S., 2006, Oribatid Mites (Acari: Oribatida) From Venezuela, Ii. New Or Rare Species From Montane Forests, Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 52 (3), pp. 271-286 : 281

Rostrozetella subgen. n.

Diagnosis: Dorsosejugal suture peculiarly arched forwards, the whole median part penetrating into the interbothridial region. Fourteen pairs of notogastral setae present.

Type species: Rostrozetes (Rostrozetes) decorus sp. n.

Remarks: I accept the opinion of SUBIAS (2004) that Trachyoribates BER- LESE, 1908 and Rostrozetes SELLNICK, 1925 are separate taxa. The new subgenus is distinguishable from the nominate subgenus by the above mentioned features.
