Remarks – In the world catalogue of Subías (2020 update) this species is listed as Campachipteria (Triachipteria) fanzagoi ( Jacot, 1929) . In the ckecklist of Georgian oribatid mites (Murvanidze and Mumladze 2016), we explained the reasons of disagreements with this placement with the main reason of Campachipteria species having monodactylous legs ( Aoki 1995) and P. fanzagoi being the tridactylous species. The name of the species is provided after Weigmann (2006).
