Oppiellinae

Dorsal view of Lauroppia motasi, from here.

Belongs within: Brachypylina.
Contains: Berniniella (Berniniella), Moritzoppia (Moritzoppia), Moritzoppia (Moritzoppiella).

The Oppiellinae are a group of oppioid oribatid mites with lamellar costulae on the prodorsum and a crista on the notogaster. Members include the cosmopolitan genus Oppiella, with characteristic humeral processes on the notogaster. These processes are absent in the genus Lauroppia, found in most parts of the world except the Ethiopian and Antarctic regions.

Characters (from Balogh & Balogh 1992): Lamellar costulae present, shorter than half length of prodorsum. Crista present. Setae c2 well developed. Setae ad1 in postanal position. Legs monodactyle.
